The 15 Best Dry Scalp Treatments for Instant Relief

While dryness can cause your hair to look fried, brittle, and lackluster, it can pose different problems for your scalp, including itchiness, redness, flaking, and inflammation.

Many of the best dry scalp treatments, like Aveda's Scalp Solutions Overnight Scalp Renewal Serum and Kiehl's Amino Acid Moisture-Restoring Dry Scalp Treatment, contain effective ingredients that aim to restore its moisture balance long-term.

"Dry scalp conditions occur when your scalp is lacking moisture," Chiran Nakamura, stylist and scalp expert at Fekkai tells Bazaar.

A triple amino acid blend and coconut oil combine for an ultra-hydrating scalp mask that kicks dryness to the curb. Leave it on for up to five minutes after cleansing your hair or for up to 15 minutes for a deeper treatment.

One satisfied customer writes: "I've suffered from dry scalp until I started using this mask. Itching and flakes have been significantly reduced since I've started using this mask weekly (after cleansing with the Kiehl's scalp scrub). If you're looking for a great mask to moisturize your scalp then this is the one to get!" —Zenyatta
