Can overshampooing cause dry scalp?

Question: I tend to have a dry scalp which gets quite annoying, it seems like overshampooing does it , maybe combined with the hot climate?



Answer: When actually shampooing your hair, turn down the hot water a notch so it's not hot but not too cold for your body. Avoid shampooing EVERY single day since natural oils in your hair is essential. But if it gets too sticky or sweaty then i suggest showering and shampooing. Try head&shoulders once a week to keep flakes at bay. Otherwise be gentle and don't stay in the sun too long either or wear a hat.
