Ditch the ITCH

Itch is a discomfort feeling and it is very inappropriate to scratch (head) in public. First, you have to know what really makes our head itchy? There are many factors why and Organic Care gives you an A-Z list of what to do about it.

Head Lice

 

This is the most irritating itch of all especially that it’s contagious. People get head lice from someone who is infested with head lice usually by sharing comb, pillow, clothing or head accessories. Head lice among kids are removed by using a fine toothcomb specifically made to remove the crawling insect. For adults, it is recommended to use over-the-counter medicinal shampoo. There are also natural home remedies you could do to remove head lice like Vaseline or olive oil. There are also organic shampoos to remove lice that are safe to use. Just choose according to your needs and judgment but Organic Care recommends that you see a dermatologist before trying anything.

Dandruff

Dandruff can also be annoying especially when it’s severe that you get flakes all over—eyebrows, face, shoulders and chest. Black dress is a no-no for someone who has severe dandruff. Compared to head lice, dandruff can be more difficult to remove depending on the severity of dandruff. Individuals who have dandruff experience greasy, irritating, itchy scalp. With a number of anti-dandruff shampoos available, it is hard to determine whether they are really effective or not. Organic Care suggests that it is best to check the back of the label and see if your choice of anti-dandruff shampoo contains the right PH because it will help you determine if your scalp gets proper moisturization to help avoid flaking. Remember to steer clear of harmful chemicals that can cause allergies.

Hair Loss

Hair Loss is the most painful itch of all. People who suffer from hair loss not only experience pain on the scalp but emotional pain as well. At the beginning of hair loss, they feel conscious and insecure. Apart from the emotional indifference that they feel, they also have a burning sensation on the scalp and greasy itchy feel. Stress is the most common factor why people suffer from hair loss. Other factors include hormonal problems, genetics, and alopecia.

Organic Care recommends that you treat them as early as possible. Organic plants like sage, aloe vera and rosemary are some of the helpful remedies that experts recommend. If you think you have excessive hair loss that might be the cause of alopecia, it is best to seek the help of a dermatologist to address your problem.
