SOS: 5 Soothing Oils To Relieve Your Dry Itchy Scalp

Soothing Oils To Relieve Your Dry Itchy Scalp
By Jennifer Ford · Updated October 23, 2020

Dry scalp will honestly have you feeling like a backup dancer in Beyoncé’s Single Ladies music video, you’ll find yourself patting your weave, natural hair,  or whatever you’ve got going on way before the song’s hook drops in an attempt to relieve the discomfort. 

To keep your scalp in formation, douse your roots with our favorite hair oils.

These five formulas combat everything from dryness to dandruff. If your scalp needs saving, allow us to introduce you to these hair saviors. 

01

Castor oil holds a special place in our hearts and hair regimen. The staple has been used to rescue damaged hair for decades. This cold-pressed organic castor oil is a natural blend of proteins and minerals that will save your scalp and edges.
