@@bodnarova05 I want to try henna cause I developed an allergy to hair color treatments that I’ve used for years. I don’t want to go full gray. So is there a specific henna product you would recommend for starters? Thanks
Omg... I had shingles soooooo bad on the right side of my head. All through my scalp, down my face and neck. Talk about miserable. It was so painful. Not itchy. I could barely turn my head. It affected my nerve endings so bad. It still gives me the chills. It came about after I had pneumonia when I was twenty. Talk about sucked.
When I worked at Sally Beauty Supply, I used a hair thickener with keratin in it. I started having awful itching in my scalp and burning. I found that I cannot tolerate keratin in my hair products. Now I am dealing with scalp psoriasis. On multiple shampoos and cortisone creams for my skin. I don't know which one is drying out my scalp so I am using one at a time. It sure is frustrating! Thanks for your videos!
Just ordered Function of beauty even though promised myself not to splash my cash this year... but my scalp gets oily quickly but is itching at the same time, so is it oily or dry🤷♀️.. I have really fine and delicate hair... I’ve been using Maui moisture products up until now... Function of beauty is very pricey, let’s hope it works xx
Im trying function of beauty and noticed my scalp flaking more. I didnt get fragrance free or dye free. Could my scalp just be adjusting to it or should I have them remake it?
My scalp is sort of dry and often feels tight. I also get small dry flakes, but my scalp is never itchy. It doesn't bother me too much, but I would like to know what the problem could be 🤔
So with me I do have white, small flakes (they look like salt was sprinkled at my roots), but I don’t really get itchy. They usually appear the day after I shampoo my hair, and it slightly increases by the third day. So that’s why I shampoo my hair every 3 days, since it’s sort of like a reset to get rid of them from my scalp. But then they reappear and the cycle begins once more. So would this then be considered to having a dry scalp? And any tips on how to solve this issue?
Oh my god, this video is godsent!! I’ve been struggling with a dry scalp for a couple of months and have been to use some different products for it but none have worked. Can’t wait to see what you have to say on the topic
@@chicysai A derm told me to use either nizoral of selsun (don’t know if that is available in the US), I used selsun and it worked well. Definitely leave it on your scalp for the recommended amount of time.
Not a professional in any case but lately I’ve been struggling with a very dry flaky scalp and frizzy hair. I tried expensive pharmaceutical products but to no avail. The only thing that worked for me is the Garnier botanic therapy shampoo with avocado and shea butter. I think they’re marketed as “whole blends” in the US , anyway , it’s the one in the yellow tube and the brown cap. Works wonders and I would recommend using the respective hair mask on your scalp for better results. On top of that I would suggest rinsing with lukewarm or cold water. 😌
I was a cosmetologist for 20 years. I found numerous skin cancers and shingles in my 20 years. I always checked heads, neck, shoulders,face, tops of feet and behind the ears. This is actually part of our testing when in school. How many people can see the tops of their head or behind their ears?
I had itchy scalp for years, and at some point I started developing really bad scalp excema. Nothing worked for me but I remembered how my cousin who had terrible skin issue on her scalp and behind her ears used to use neutrogena tgel shampoo growing up. Started using that and my scalp went from itching regularly my entire adolescence and adulthood to almost never itching at all.
Hi dr. dray, I was hoping to hear about some active ingredients and products that I can look for to treat my dry scalp but the only specific advice for dry scalp that you provided was about the function of beauty products. Would it be possible to hear some recommendations for an additional scalp product I can use to help me moisturize my scalp? I know I don't have dandruff. I am trying to avoid sulfates and fragrance. I use a head and shoulders shampoo + conditioner which targets both dandruff and dry scalp (jojoba oil and argan oil in the products). however I am hoping to find a product I can use after my shower to help with my scalp. I initially thought about trying aloe vera but after watching your video I am not sure that is the best active ingredient for me to pursue. do you have any recommendations for an oil (or something else) I can apply to my head post-shower to help with my constantly dry scalp? thank you
I have scalp psoriasis and in 2016 I used Head & Shoulders only ONCE and I instantly got the worst patches of psoriasis I have ever had. My scalp has been even more sensitive ever since so I would be cautious when it comes to using Anti Dandruff shampoos to treat psoriasis, they can be far too harsh and further aggrevate it. I now use Bioderma Node Fluid and find it wonderful, its very gentle and great on my fine hair! 😊
There’s lots of videos on TH-cam too. You can make your own rinse but I’d make it very weak considering how sensitive your scalp is. The hair and scalp are normally acidic. When they get too alkaline you get all sorts of problems
Dear Dr Dray, congrats on 1 million subscribers! I've been watching you for a couple of years now and I can say that your videos are amazing! I love your laid-back approach and your videos always make me feel relaxed while educating me about skincare. I wish you an amazing 2021 going forward! ❤💖💓
I have one tip for those of you living in areas with hard water; no matter what anti dandruff shampoos, exfoliating scalp toners or even demineralizing filters fitted to your shower head, you will only relapse because of the residue (soap scum) left in your hair follicles due to the minerals crystalizing and hardening on your scalp leading to inflammation, dandruff and follicultis. The only remedy I've found is using a chelating shampoo to effectively cleanse AND ensure NO residue is left on the scalp post showering.
Thank you for this comment! We have extremely hard water and bought a shower head filter but it doesn't seem to be helpful. What kind of chelating shampoo do you recommend?
Assalaam Alaikum my lovely Dr. Dray. This is the video I was looking forward to and thank you. Have a great day everyone and remember your beautiful inside and out no matter what others say, lol. ❤️❤️❤️
I live in a country where fragrance free products are impossible to get or extremely expensive. What helped my condition is changing to a sulfate free shampoo once a week (i use OGX) a nourishing conditioner and a hair mask every other day. Now my dandruff is in control, with no to very dust like flakes. Ofc it won't work for everyone, but it worked for me.
If you haven’t figured this out already (since it’s been 3 months) dry scalp: the flakes are smaller and whiter. Dandruff: the flakes are bigger and look oily or yellow tinted. Hope this helped 😁
I scratch my scalp to blood. Ive tried everything, shampoo, oils from olaplex, seriously scalp moisturizing masks, and nothing works for me. I just ordered the head and shoulders hydrating scalp serum, praying it helps!!🤞🏻🤞🏻
You lost me as soon as you said this video is in partnership with function of beauty. Heard way too much about hair loss and etc with their products. No thanks.
Thanks for reading my mind, I've been struggling with a dry scalp with this harsh Canadian winter, can't wait to watch your video. Giving it a thumbs-up already, 'cause
Unfortunately having Covid has caused issues with my scalp. Also my skin in general has suffered. My GP seems to believe it is caused by the damage to my immune system. Ive been using a drug store dandruff shampoo but it hasn’t helped much. I am visiting the Dr again soon, to see if she can make a better diagnosis and get the issue resolved. I’ve never had dandruff or psoriasis, but I do have a family history of skin issues. My daughter had severe psoriasis as a small child, but out grew it. This video sure was timely! Thanks so much.
I would love some content on more options for scalp skin care above and beyond shampoo. Learning about options for the scalp that are hydrating and are left on the skin and not rinsed off and aren’t focused on the hair specifically.
My scalp is so dry and itchy !! I have been itching so badly that it felt like I was digging for gold lol 😂 I know I’m not supposed to be itching but it itches like badly !!! Unfortunately I have had this my entire life when I get stressful. It does get very itchy. I have used T Gel. A few other shampoo 🧴 dandruff and conditioner. I didn’t know about hives in my scalp. It is in my scalp. These bumps are itchy scabs and they bleed 🩸 when I get stressed or upset it itches!! I cannot wear hair spray !!! I wonder 💭 IF it’s Shingles? What do you think 🤔?
Happy Friday!! :) I've found that it's harder to wash out my sulfate free shampoo compared to my regular shampoo which led to an itchier scalp. Is that normal or are there sulfate free shampoos that are easier to wash out? (I used Shea moisture) Wasn't sure if the formulation is more likely to be "gummy" because of lack of sulfates.
Ugh this video is the content I didn't know I needed!! The rest of my body is sensitive to fragrance I don't know why I thought my scalp didn't apply lol.
I have Keratosis Pilaris, eczema, and I suffer from Hives... This winter has seem to been a bit harder then past winters for me. I have lost so much hair over the past couple of weeks. I have my good times and my hard time but this low dip took A LOT out of me. :(
What's a good scalp care between washes like rosewater, castor oil and essential oils for dry scalp and itching for locs and protective styles that don't wash weekly?
I have been struggling with dry itchy scalp for years now (i am an eczema with dyshidrosis person and also allergic to fragrance). I tried every cheap, expensive or from the pharmacy shampoo. All turned out to have sls or fragrance or both and sometimes even essentials oils. To find a gentle shampoo without all these ingredients here in Germany is impossible. But i found and bought the Drunk Elephant haircare line last week. I don't care about the money, as long as i don't scratch my skin away. Anyway, my scalp and my hands already feel more relaxed , thank god... i hope this will last. I also noticed that when i eat a lot of sweets, chocolate etc. , my scalp starts to itch.
I use Good schampo and got white flakes . I have used Dandruff schampo twice But nog helping. My head is not itching and my hair gets oily fast ? I have used the ordinary and kitsch water rice schampo and now Daxxin dandruff schampo
@@lommoberry7312 thank you for your reply. To wash the cream off? i dont understand, my english is not that good. So put on the cream and then wash it off , thats it? and use another cream o what?
@@Nomoretime33 ponds is a cold cream. This means that it is used to take off makeup and clean the face. Some people like to leave it on after lathering on the face, but doing this leaves the dirt, sweat and makeup on the face and can be irritating. Ponds is also a facial moisturizer, but the cold cream is the famous one so I assumed you were referring to that. If you were talking about the moisturizer, then it is used normally and not washed off. Personally, the moisturizer made me break out, probably from the fragrance. Hope this helps!
I have these small salt-feeling grains that are on my scalp (they are super small but they are tapered on one end, kind of like a plug), along with severe itchiness and hair loss. my derm has prescribed me 2 steroids and I've changed my products and nothing has helped except nizoral (helped just a bit) and idk what it is or what to do! Currently using clobex shampoo per my derm. WHAT IS THIISSS
Hello! I have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and I am prone to folliculitis/scalp pimples. Sounds like you might have a scalp pimple. Whatever you do, don't touch them or pick them. Show them to your dermatologist.
I’ve never had a dry scalp, it only occurred after I put Brazilian on my hair and I Relaxed my hair (biggest regret oh my life)...I’ve been battling this problem for almost 5 years now and it’s getting to me, I’m embarrassed to go to the barber and my hair is just not how it was when I was younger 😭 Do you think that the relaxer and Brazilian could have brought about this problem ?
I went to a dermatologist. He gave me a topical steroid and told me to come back in a year. Since November I haven’t been able to get a one year follow up and nothing has changed in my scalp. Wish you were my dermatologist.
This was a great video as it seems like all of a sudden I do have an itchy scald with flakes. I have been using Head & Shoulders and sometimes I think it is better but sometimes not. I have ordered the shampoo you love and I hope I love it too. I have white hair so I was thrilled to see they had shampoo for that, but of course I don’t want to be purple . Thanks 😊
I am using Rogaine (Minoxidil) for hairloss. I reduced the use to only once in the evening. But the included alcohol dries my scalp. I need to keep using Rogaine. What can I apply to my scalp in order to support it?
Ugh, I get hives every once in a while while in the shower. I also get them in cases of anxiety. It's aweful. I've also been to the doctor for my aweful dry scalp. The doctor didn't even look at my scalp and told me it was dandruff. She wouldn't refer me to a dermatologist. The dandruff shampoo just hurt, and I used it for months hoping it meant it would make it better.
Great video Dr. Dray. Not related to this video but have you reviewed the dermalogica fizz mask? If not can you please do it? Or comment on here if it is Dr.Dray approved or not lol Thank you
Thanks to your tips my severe dry scalp got better :), I've been using the free and clear shampoo, added biotin supplement into my diet and stress management
Can you put sunscreen on your scalp? I play soccer and if there is a part in my hair I try to put sunscreen there. We can’t wear hats (even in the rec league) so that is my only option. Thanks!

I don’t know what it is but my scalp stopped producing oil for some unknown reason! My hair doesn’t get greasy AT ALL even if i don’t wash it for months! It’s been severely dry and damaged and it’s falling out like crazy😭 I’ve lost more than 50% of my hair and I don’t know what to do. Please help me😭
have dry scalp. Only thing that has helped me manage it is to use a Boar Bristle Brush AM and PM to help distribute my oils throughout. I wash with Paul Mitchell Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner really working my fingers into my scalp and I use my Conditioner on my scalp. Spray It's A 10 Miracle Leave In and run through with a comb. I also use Biolage Hydra Source Mask once a week in place of Conditioner. It would be nice to wash every 3 and not every 2 though. DHS dried me out and I also have color treated blonde hair. What would be safe to use on it with what I already use?
Thank you for all your informative videos. I love them and they are so helpful. I have a question regarding hair loss due to female pattern hair loss. I use minoxidal 4% and it seems to work quite well (for many years). I am wondering if there is such a thing as topical finasteride? Also do you know anything new in the treatment of pattern hair loss? Thanks!!
Dr dray, I have been on differin adapalene gel for 5 months already. Is it normal that I currently got 6 pimples 😣? My skin is nothing but post acne marks other than these current pimples.
I’m with you on that, 6 months on Adapalene for me. I think it’s just my hormonal acne at this point. Never ending cycle: hormonal pimples, they go away, leave scars, when the scars are almost faded more hormonal acne comes back. 😞
I been suffering from itchy, flaky scalp. I also get dry flakes inside my ears. I had my final scalp micropigmantation session yesterday. I have read that Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Scalp Treatment 100ml is a good scalp mosturizer to use, specially for people with dandruff and dry flaky scalp. Have to use good mosturizer to keep scalp hydrated but don't want it to strip my pigments. I been using baby shampoo but it drys up my scalp too. I was using nizoral before scal micropigmantation. Iam going to try this one Real Raw Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo & Conditioner set - Cleanse & Hydrate - No Water 100% Pure Aloe Juice & Coconut Water - Sulfate & Paraben Free.
Hi Dr Dray, thank you for the great informational content as always! Curious what your thoughts are on Hairstory’s New Wash as a alternative to traditional stripping shampoos. Thanks!

I have these small salt-feeling grains that are on my scalp (they are super small but they are tapered on one end, kind of like a plug), along with severe itchiness and hair loss. my derm has prescribed me 2 steroids and I've changed my products and nothing has helped except nizoral (helped just a bit) and idk what it is or what to do! Currently using clobex shampoo per my derm. WHAT IS THIISSS
Hello! I have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and I am prone to folliculitis/scalp pimples. Sounds like you might have a scalp pimple. Whatever you do, don't touch them or pick them. Show them to your dermatologist.
Same... But my scalp is not red just sometimes itchy and those small tiny grain like flakes.
I’ve never had a dry scalp, it only occurred after I put Brazilian on my hair and I Relaxed my hair (biggest regret oh my life)...I’ve been battling this problem for almost 5 years now and it’s getting to me, I’m embarrassed to go to the barber and my hair is just not how it was when I was younger 😭 Do you think that the relaxer and Brazilian could have brought about this problem ?
Thank you for all the good content, your honesty and consideration!
I went to a dermatologist. He gave me a topical steroid and told me to come back in a year. Since November I haven’t been able to get a one year follow up and nothing has changed in my scalp. Wish you were my dermatologist.
This was a great video as it seems like all of a sudden I do have an itchy scald with flakes. I have been using Head & Shoulders and sometimes I think it is better but sometimes not. I have ordered the shampoo you love and I hope I love it too. I have white hair so I was thrilled to see they had shampoo for that, but of course I don’t want to be purple . Thanks 😊
I am using Rogaine (Minoxidil) for hairloss. I reduced the use to only once in the evening. But the included alcohol dries my scalp. I need to keep using Rogaine. What can I apply to my scalp in order to support it?
I switched to fragrance free hair products and the dry patches on my eyebrows went away
You didn't talk about people with just a dry scalp and how to treat it. (Not caused by shampoo)
Could a reaction happen months later from hair products?
Thank you, Dr. Dray. This is a timely video now that Autumn/Winter cold temperatures/wind and dry indoor heat are in full swing. ❤️❄️🍁🍂🌬️
You can’t mend split ends ever. The only way to mend split ends is a haircut.
Ugh, I get hives every once in a while while in the shower. I also get them in cases of anxiety. It's aweful.
I've also been to the doctor for my aweful dry scalp. The doctor didn't even look at my scalp and told me it was dandruff. She wouldn't refer me to a dermatologist. The dandruff shampoo just hurt, and I used it for months hoping it meant it would make it better.
Greasy lips…she must have just finished a drumstick.
Can anyone please recommend a cheap, drugstore shampoo and conditioner that will moisturize my scalp.
I struggled with flaky scalp all throughout my teenage years, then when I stopped taking birth control at age 20 it suddenly went away. So strange.
What are your thoughts on people saying they've been having hair loss from function of beauty products?
Can you please make a video about curly hair?
Doctor how do you treat dry flaky psoriasis o scalp dandruff and plaques on body.
Great video Dr. Dray. Not related to this video but have you reviewed the dermalogica fizz mask? If not can you please do it? Or comment on here if it is Dr.Dray approved or not lol
Thank you
Can you recommend a hair conditioner for people with seborrheic dermatitis?
What about silicone? I was talking the quiz, this one stopped me
Thanks to your tips my severe dry scalp got better :), I've been using the free and clear shampoo, added biotin supplement into my diet and stress management
Can you put sunscreen on your scalp? I play soccer and if there is a part in my hair I try to put sunscreen there. We can’t wear hats (even in the rec league) so that is my only option. Thanks!
She mentions this in her video, scalp exfoliation: must dos for healthy hair. She links to one in the description box.
Finally 1M congrats!
I don't go to doctors who want to give you any drug with their horrendous side effects.
Happy Friday, Andrea! 🤗
Happy Friday
What are your thoughts on johnson's baby oil? as a moisturizer or makeup remover?
Thank you for this video! I started getting dry scalp two weeks after starting Accutane... I will tell my doctor about it I suppose it’s a side effect
I feel you I'm on month 5 of accutane and the dry scalp is awful!!
I’m two weeks in with accutane and such an itchy scalp, what did you find to help ? Many thanks!
Coal tar shampoo works wonders for keeping my psoriasis at bay, but i really worry how healthy it has been to use for decades.
Pertaining to function of beauty shampoo or conditioner..are they free of the chemicals MIT or MI?? Too lazy to type out the whole word!! Xoxo ❤
Yes
I met somebody one time that had barrels of water outside of there house they wash their hair with that water they said
thanks for the video
Rainwater is soft so is gentler on the hair.
@@greenknitter Okay
😳 that's a great 💡 idea
@@greenknitter I was working at Rite Rug at the time in a family were remodeling their house and they were putting water barrels around their house owner said they wash their hair Rainwater thanks
@@jessie9653 now that I think of it I think my mom when we were kids used to do that the same thing she used to have a barrel in the yard and it would fill up with rainwater and she will wash with it thanks
This doctor having many skin and scalp problems
I don’t know what it is but my scalp stopped producing oil for some unknown reason! My hair doesn’t get greasy AT ALL even if i don’t wash it for months! It’s been severely dry and damaged and it’s falling out like crazy😭 I’ve lost more than 50% of my hair and I don’t know what to do. Please help me😭
Please please review and go over the ingredients in their body wash and body lotion!
have dry scalp. Only thing that has helped me manage it is to use a Boar Bristle Brush AM and PM to help distribute my oils throughout. I wash with Paul Mitchell Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner really working my fingers into my scalp and I use my Conditioner on my scalp. Spray It's A 10 Miracle Leave In and run through with a comb. I also use Biolage Hydra Source Mask once a week in place of Conditioner. It would be nice to wash every 3 and not every 2 though. DHS dried me out and I also have color treated blonde hair. What would be safe to use on it with what I already use?
Thank you for all your informative videos. I love them and they are so helpful. I have a question regarding hair loss due to female pattern hair loss. I use minoxidal 4% and it seems to work quite well (for many years). I am wondering if there is such a thing as topical finasteride? Also do you know anything new in the treatment of pattern hair loss? Thanks!!
Dr dray, I have been on differin adapalene gel for 5 months already. Is it normal that I currently got 6 pimples 😣? My skin is nothing but post acne marks other than these current pimples.
I’m with you on that, 6 months on Adapalene for me. I think it’s just my hormonal acne at this point. Never ending cycle: hormonal pimples, they go away, leave scars, when the scars are almost faded more hormonal acne comes back. 😞
@@Happinessvirtue I truly hope your face heals, I know how painful acne is emotionally and physically. Hopefully as we age, it goes away.
I was literally in Target 2 days ago, and was searching your videos for itchy, dry scalp! Thanks for the video Dr. Dray!!
I been suffering from itchy, flaky scalp. I also get dry flakes inside my ears. I had my final scalp micropigmantation session yesterday. I have read that Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Scalp Treatment 100ml is a good scalp mosturizer to use, specially for people with dandruff and dry flaky scalp. Have to use good mosturizer to keep scalp hydrated but don't want it to strip my pigments. I been using baby shampoo but it drys up my scalp too. I was using nizoral before scal micropigmantation.
Iam going to try this one
Real Raw Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo & Conditioner set - Cleanse & Hydrate - No Water 100% Pure Aloe Juice & Coconut Water - Sulfate & Paraben Free.
Hi Dr Dray, thank you for the great informational content as always! Curious what your thoughts are on Hairstory’s New Wash as a alternative to traditional stripping shampoos. Thanks!
Oh my God. I was thinking about it. I have very dry scalp more often. You are my Guru Dr Dray ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏😻thank you
