Suggestions for dry, flaky scalp?? (NOT dandruff)

Recently found out that I have a dry scalp and not dandruff. My whole life, I thought it was the same and have been using anti-dandruff treatments which are actually bad for my dry scalp (bc of active ingredients) such as selsun blue and such. Anyone recommend any shampoos and conditioners thatโ€™ll hydrate my scalp while washing my hair? Also, is Briogeoโ€™s castor oil good to put on my dry scalp or should I look at other products?

Hey!

My boyfriend has the exact same issue. He's gotten into using an exfoliating shampoo (he likes the Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Scalp Scrub Shampoo), but he's been using my jojoba oil and leaving it on his scalp overnight. It's worked wonders. 

 

Hope this helps!

@ajuhhson - I can definitely identify with your issue!  I recommend using a scalp scrub once every week or two.  It works on the same premise as a facial scrub. Here are the two that I like.

Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Triple Detox Shampoo 24 oz/ 710 mL 

Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Scalp Scrub Shampoo 8 oz/ 236 mL  

After I use a scrub, I use a deep conditioner.  I like to alternate between a protein and a moisturizing conditioner.  I rotate between these.

Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!โ„ข Deep Conditioning Hair Mask  

Briogeo Superfoodsโ„ข Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Hair Mask 8.0 oz/ 240 mL  

I use this as my regular shampoo.  The conditioner is also a good one to start with.  However, I use a different conditioner.

Verb Ghost Duo Kit 

I use Seed Phytonutrients Moisture Conditioner.  It's available at Ulta.  If you're interested in the shampoo, I recommend purchasing from the company's website because they sell the set for a discount.

 

I know this is a lot to consider.  These are the products that work for my dry, itchy scalp.  Oh, I also use Verb Ghost Weightless Oil to Fight Frizz and Enhance Shine 2 oz/ 60 mL  .  Hair oil seems to be much more of a personal preference.  You may have to try a few before you find the one that works for you.
