How to Treat Itchy Scalp - Hair Steamer Dandruff Treatment

A hair steamer is probably the most logical treatment for dandruff and other scalp and damaged hair conditions. Not only are hair steamers used by hairdressers to apply special conditions and intense hair treatments more effectively they are great for removing dirt from the scalp and bringing moisture to the root and follicles.

It is amazing for an itchy scalp as it will remove dirt and get rid of any left over shampoo that is stuck in the scalp which is actually one of the biggest reasons for dandruff development and frustration.

I have found hair steamers not that readily available and it may require a bit of shopping online otherwise you could always get it done at a local hairdresser next time you get a cut. If you don't have access to a hair steamer having a hot steamy bath can help otherwise you can simply fill a bowl with hot water and put a towel around you so you can soak it up.

Depending on how damaged or dry your scalp is the time spent under the steamer will be around 10 to 15 minutes or even up to 1 hour for especially dry hair or if your applying a special intense moisturizing treatment. It's a good idea to apply some sort of essential oil to help penetrate your dry scalp further and bring nutrients to your hair roots.

When using your hair steamer for fighting dandruff remember to allow your scalp to reap the benefits of the natural water steam and not cover your scalp with a shower cap or steam cap. The steam cap is a very common mistake and for some reason people believe it locks in heat, this may be true but its going to be dry heat if your not getting that steam and to get maximum benefit always expose your hair and scalp to the steam.
