Treat a Dry Scalp

Hack: Use Vicks to treat your dry scalp.

Treat your dry scalp by taking a small amount of Vicks and rubbing it onto the dry parts of your scalp. You’ll want to do right before you go to bed or after you take a shower. The oil from the eucalyptus and the petroleum work together as a balm for your scalp. You’ll see that you won’t have any more itching or flakes. You can wear black and not worry!

Dandruff and dry scalp are actually two different (but equally prevalent) scalp problems. As the name conveys, dry scalp happens when the scalp is lacking a significant amount of its natural moisture. The irritation that results causes the skin to dry up and eventually flake off.
