Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Here are a few general tips for managing dandruff and itchy scalp:

1. Use a gentle, pH-balanced shampoo: Look for shampoos specifically formulated for sensitive scalps or dandruff control. Avoid using harsh shampoos or excessive washing, as they can strip the scalp of natural oils.

2. Maintain good scalp hygiene: Wash your hair regularly to keep the scalp clean and free of excess oil and dead skin cells. However, avoid excessive scratching, as it can worsen irritation.

3. Avoid hot water and heat styling: Hot water can strip the scalp of moisture, leading to dryness and itching. Additionally, heat styling tools can further damage the hair and scalp.

4. Consider natural remedies: Some people find relief by using natural remedies such as tea tree oil, aloe vera gel, or apple cider vinegar rinses. However, it's essential to patch test these products first and discontinue use if they cause any adverse reactions.

5. Maintain a balanced diet: A healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and cleaner drinking water may help promote scalp health. Additionally, drinking enough water and managing stress levels can also contribute to overall hair and scalp wellness.
