    GlossaryDry Scalp

    condition where scalp skin lacks sufficient moisture

    Dry scalp, also known as scalp dryness, refers to a condition where the skin on the scalp lacks sufficient moisture, leading to itching, flaking, and irritation. This can be caused by various factors such as cold weather, harsh hair care products, or underlying skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Unlike dandruff, which is often associated with oily scalp and larger flakes, dry scalp typically results in smaller, white flakes and a tight, uncomfortable feeling on the scalp.
