Dry shampoo for sensitive scalp

2 replies

My scalp is really sensitive. It went through a stage of being really itchy and flakey and the GP prescribed some bettamousse for it which took the worst of it down and I now maintain it with a green head and shoulders.

Anyway, I'd love to find a dry shampoo to give my roots a bit of boost, as they can look a bit flat, but I'm worried about my scalp reacting badly to it.

Can anyone recommend a dry shampoo that doesn't irritate sensitive skin? Preferably non-fragranced.

Not fragrance free, but the Klorane one doesn’t irritate my scalp the same way eg Batiste does. I think a lot depends on how often you use it too, though. Not dry shampoo but The Body Shop ginger scalp serum has also really helped with soothing everything and literally getting rid of flakes overnight. Sorry not really answered what you asked, but sounds like I’ve dealt with similar and those are two products I rate 😁

Thanks. I'll try this stuff. My current routine was working really well, but I've noticed my roots have become really greasy and flat looking over the last few months.
