Healthy luxurious hair is the dream of every person, but not all of us are blessed with that luck. Maintaining good hair is difficult and with today?s busy life most people ignore the health of their hair and suffer from many hair related problems. Itchy scalp is a common problem which can lead to patchy hair and baldness. The causes of an itchy scalp can be due to several reasons like dandruff, sunburn, heat from a hair dryer, head lice, reaction to certain hair products, skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema and insect bites. Skin accumulates on the scalp when oily hair is not washed regularly leading to dandruff and itchiness. Stress is another common factor contributing to itchy scalp.

Prevention is better than cure so the saying goes, so regularly oiling and washing your hair should be the first step to healthy luxurious hair.
