An itchy scalp after shampooing is a common issue many face in their hair care routine.
Margriet van der Klugt, Training Manager at Cosmetique Active Netherlands, shares her expertise on this.
Margriet: 'Your scalp, like the rest of your skin, relies on a natural protective barrier. Shampoo can disrupt this balance, leading to dryness and itchiness—or even overstimulate sebum production, causing oiliness, tingling, and discomfort. External factors like friction, heat, and styling products can worsen irritation. Opt for a dermatologically tested, soothing shampoo tailored to your hair type—dry or oily—to maintain scalp equilibrium. 
Pro Tip: For persistent itchy scalp, try Vichy Dercos Ultra-Soothing Shampoo (€12.25). Suitable for daily use, available for dry hair or normal to oily hair.
