Winter has many advantages, shiny, healthy heads of hair usually not being one of them.

Cooler climate, dry air and warm headwear often equal scalps that can be dry, greasy, flaky, itchy and red at the same time.

And even if you only have one of these symptoms, it’s enough to make you long for Spring. Or at least for a miracle cure.

But fret no more, here are some products that can soothe and rehydrate your scalp.

Davines Awakening Oxygenating Scrub –When the scalp is flaky, you might need to exfoliate it the same way you do with chapped lips or dull skin.

Jojoba micro-capsules and silica particles help stimulate micro-circulation just like a face scrub would, and the anti-bacterial Propolis Extract helps removing keratin scales.

Philip Kingsley Scalp Tonic –However pricey, this soothing tonic has an anti-microbial anti-dandruff formula that calms an irritated and itchy scalp. It also helps you get rid of build-ups to give hair an extra clean feeling. Even more efficient when used with other products from the same range.

Rene Furterer Astera Soothing Fluid –Takes some time to apply, since the fluid is to be massaged into scalp section by section and takes some time to work, too, as it should be left on for five to ten minutes.

But thanks to Echinacea extract, which is anti-inflammatory as well as soothing, this treatment really helps dry scalps. © Cover Media
