5 New Hair Products That Will Help Solve Your Dry Scalp Problem
By Jennifer Ford · Updated December 6, 2020

Now that you’ve dug your chunky knit sweaters and grandpa cardigans out of storage, it’s time to update your beauty arsenals with a few seasonable essentials. The weather this time of year can be brutal on your skin and especially on your scalp. Expect to see flakes this fall but not the wet and snowy kind. I’m referring to the pesky type that falls from you head to your shoulders while brushing your hair.

Ahead find everything you need to moisturize your scalp and to keep the flakes at bay.
