You have to wash your hair-that's a given-but you don't need to take three showers a day. Washing with shampoo gets rid of buildup from styling products and other things you don't want in your hair. But over-washing it can strip out natural oil that's needed to moisturize your scalp.

You may feel like aliens have invaded your scalp but we're sure you're normal. An itchy scalp doesn't mean you have lice or a disease. In fact, a lot of people get itchy scalps. In a recent study of 19,000 people, 41.4% have experienced an itchy scalp in the past year. That's a lot of itchy scalps! But think about what your scalp is exposed to every day - dyeing, blow-drying, environmental factors such as exposure to sunlight, air pollution, wind, and even chlorinated swimming pool water. Stress and the foods we eat can even create an unpleasant environment on our scalps. You can't always control your surroundings but you can control whether or not your scalp itches. Head & Shoulders Dry Skin system with HydraZinc improves the condition of your scalp and normalizes the skin barrier. So that means your scalp will feel calm and itch-free all day, so you don't have to worry about itching at the wrong time.

Okay, so we said that washing your hair too much is not a good thing. But just like having too much of a good thing, not washing your hair enough is going to leave it starved for attention. And then your head and scalp are going to take it out on you by causing all sorts of unpleasant things to happen: dry, itchy scalp, dull looking hair-you get the picture.
Here's the deal. You do need some natural oil to protect and hydrate your scalp but if you wait too long between washings, excess oil-not to mention the products you use every day-can build up and clog hair follicles. Think of your scalp like you would facial skin. You wouldn't wait days to wash your face, all the while piling on lotions and makeup. If you did, you'd break out like crazy. If you're not sure how often to wash, let your scalp do the talking. If it itches, it's time to lather up with Head & Shoulders Itchy Scalp Care.

You could give that a try and then see how you feel after trying to find secret ways to scratch all day long. Hopefully your new boss won't notice. Sure, itching your head feels really good for a couple of minutes but you're going to end up with one irritated head. And nobody wants that. How many covert ways can you come up with to hide your itching anyway? You'll have to get very creative. Or, you could wash your hair with Head & Shoulders Itchy Scalp Care and not worry about it. Problem solved.
