Which shampoo to choose for an itchy scalp?
The best choice mainly depends on what you see and feel on your scalp. A good shampoo for an itchy scalp cleans effectively, but doesn't feel aggressive. Therefore, don't just look for the word "itch", but also for the type of scalp problem involved.
- For dry flakes and tightness: choose Oway Soothing (https://sierosanto.be/nl-eu/collections/oway-kalmerend) or a purifying shampoo for dry scalp or dry dandruff.
- For oily scalp and greasier flakes: choose a purifying or balancing shampoo that helps address excess sebum, such as Oway Rebalancing (https://sierosanto.be/nl-eu/collections/oway-herbalancering).
- For itching without clear flakes: choose a mild shampoo that burdens the scalp as little as possible.
- For recurring complaints: avoid randomly switching between shampoos and give a suitable routine some time.

This is how you get more from your shampoo
The way you wash also makes a difference. Use a small amount of shampoo, gently massage into the scalp, and rinse thoroughly. Hot water and vigorous rubbing can increase discomfort, while a calm, consistent routine often provides more comfort to the scalp.If you notice that your scalp reacts mainly after washing, it is often wise to choose a milder shampoo and avoid washing unnecessarily often. For itchy scalp and flakes, it usually helps to first determine whether your scalp feels more dry or oily.

When is additional advice useful?
If the itching persists, the scalp becomes painful, or you see stubborn flakes, redness, or scabs, then additional guidance is advisable. An itchy scalp can have various causes, and in such cases, personal advice is often more valuable than simply trying a new shampoo.
