What To Do For Itchy, Flaky
Dry Scalp

My name is Nanette and I'm here to help you discover the remedy to your dry scalp problem that may be plaguing you or a loved one.

The bottom line is that every one needs the proper scalp care.

Did you know that scalp problems are more common than you may think? For example, dandruff - that dry, itchy, white flaking of the scalp - affects up to 70% of men, women and children in various degrees of severity.

Dry scalp can be very itchy and your natural reaction is to scratch. But scratching or even rubbing can aggravate the problem.

1) Winter's blistery, cold and dry air wreaks havoc on our skin overall.

2) Hot, sunny summertime can also cause a type of "sweaty dryness" that brings on problems.

3) Certain food allergies can affect us in various ways.

4) Hair products and shampoos containing the chemicals PHTHALATES, SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE and BETAINE can cause a red, drying rash on your scalp,around the eyes and along the neck, with flaking, peeling, and itching. Unfortunately, the federal government doesn't limit their use.

5) All the myriad of gels, creams, conditioners and sprays that we apply on a daily basis weakens that ruin the natural PH of the scalp.

I found out that a recent marketplace review of more than 100 leading brands of shampoos indicated that most contain these ingredients. The main reason sodium lauryl sulfate is used is because it is an inexpensive detergent and makes mixtures foam well. Sadly, it has a significant degenerative effect on the cell membranes because of its protein denaturing properties.

Other studies have indicated that sodium lauryl sulfate enters and maintains residual levels in the heart, liver, lungs and brain from skin contact and poses a serious potential health threat from its use in shampoos and cleansers. It was also concluded to cause corneal(eye) damage.

Still other research has indicated sodium lauryl sulfate may be damaging to the immune system, especially within the skin. Skin layers may separate and inflame due to its protein denaturing properties.

Additional studies have found that sodium lauryl sulfate is heavily deposited on the skin surface and in the hair follicles causing damage to the hair follicle resulting in hair loss.

In fact, shampoos rank among the products most often reported to the Food and Drug Administration in association with dry scalp, irritation and outbreaks, stinging eyes, and tangled, split, and fuzzy hair.

Many customers ask me over and over again, "What can I do for my dry scalp?"

I tell them to learn to read the labels of the products you purchase for yourself and your family! Stay away from highly commercialized and highly advertised products with chemical filled ingredients. Today you've learned about 3 such ingredients to stay away from.

I believe in using only naturally made products made with herbal ingredients. I have seen time and time again that using an effective shampoo is critically important.

Tea Tree Oil: Tea Tree Oil has been used for many, many years by people around the world for its' extraordinary medicinal qualities. It has a very helpful restorative effect on skin infections and scalp disorders of every kind.

Shea Butter: This thick, rich butter has a soothing, moisturizing and protecting effect. Shea butter also helps cell regeneration and capillary circulation.

Urea: Has been medically proven in various clinical studies to have superior anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties that helps promote fast healing of dry, cracked, split skin, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, acne as well as dry, itchy, flaky scalp as well as adding much needed moisture.

A natural shampoo doesn't disturb the natural PH of the hair & scalp like most commercial shampoos do. It soothes and hydrates the scalp for long lasting relief and health.

It should be so gentle and mild that it can even be used on babies and small children and be safe for the whole family.

Some of my clients have what I call an "extreme condition", so for those of you experiencing very severe symptoms of dry scalp, please follow these recommendations:

For Severe Dry Patchy Scalp Conditions: If you are experiencing dry patchy scalp symptoms with white flaky patches or red dot like patches then follow this routine: At night before bedtime, rub a specially formulated therapeutic cream into the parts of the scalp affected with the patches. Allow to absorb overnight into the 7 layers of scalp tissue and wash hair in the morning with the proper shampoo. Repeat as necessary until the problem is gone.

For Hair Loss In Men As Well As Women: Follow the same procedure as above but more frequently to unpack the dry, damaged cells that lie 7 layers beneath the scalp surface. This is critical in bringing balance back to the scalp so that the hair folicles can thrive and further hair loss can be prevented. May also stimulate a rejuvenation of hair growth due to this restored balance as our many customers have experienced.

When I came to you I told you that I had psoriasis on my scalp for a year and nothing I had tried helped. All the different products I used had actually dried out my scalp and hair to the point of breaking and damaging my hair. I followed the program you recommended and in just a few days, my scalp was beginning to heal and one other thing I didn't tell you when I first saw you was that I also had psoriasis just behind my left ear. Well, that healed up too! Natural and pure remedies are now what I prefer. J.R.,Fort Lauderdale, FL
