Summer Weather and Itchy Scalps - Causes and Solutions

While summer is normally synonymous with having fun outdoors, swimming at the beach (or local pool), and enjoying the warm sunshine, it’s also the start of many hair care issues for thousands of women. The salty sea water and chlorine can contribute to drier strands, and colored hair cab often go haywire when not controlled with specific products. Blonde hair becomes green or brassy, and highlights can go become faded and bland.

Another issue that often gets exacerbated with the summer heat is additional scalp conditions – namely, an itchier, sometimes even oiler scalp. Those with hair extensions or weaves often suffer from this condition, and it’s even more crucial for these women to keep their scalp clean and to remove any extra sebum, a common cause of an itchier scalp.

Women who wear weaves often do not wash or cleanse their scalp as often. This can contribute to an oilier scalp, and combined with the summer’s unique weather and environmental conditions, can also lead to an itchy, sometimes flaky scalp, and even hair loss. If it’s not feasible to remove the weave or extension and wash your scalp more often, what can one do to help combat this issue?
