Flakes of the snow variety may not be the only ones you’re seeing this time of year, as winter is high season for a dry, itchy scalp. Chilly temperatures and less moisture in the air outside along with artificial heat inside can make dryness, flaking, and itching worse, and these scalp issues can be accompanied by a feeling of tightness as well.
The combined effects of winter’s environmental conditions and harsh hair care products can take an already dry, itchy scalp to the next level. The most likely ingredient culprit: Sulfates in your shampoo. Though designed to wash away dirt and product build-up, these cleansing agents can also strip your scalp (and hair) of the natural oils that help maintain hydration, which can be a key trigger for dryness, itching, and flaking. Instead of harsh surfactants, SEEN’s sulfate-free shampoos use gentle, naturally-derived cleansing ingredients that deliver all the lather you love while nourishing the scalp—and are formulated with plant-derived bisabolol for extra soothing benefits.
If you struggle with a dry, flaky, and/or itchy scalp, remember that a healthy scalp is essential for healthy hair. Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Iris Rubin understands the connection between the two, and she created SEEN to optimize and nourish the condition of the hair and scalp (as well as every square inch of skin from head to toe). In addition to all SEEN products being non-comedogenic (which means they won’t clog pores) and non-irritating, we have the proof that SEEN helps improve a dry scalp—which can contribute to “winter itch.” In a study of 30 patients with mild-to-moderate dry, flaky scalp who used SEEN for four weeks, 93% saw improvement in dry scalp (based on dermatologist grading) and 73% reported less scalp itching.
And just a reminder that SEEN products are not medicated—and still able to achieve these results! However, it’s important to keep in mind that several skin conditions can contribute to dryness, flaking, and itch, so it’s always best to see a dermatologist if these scalp issues persist.

“I’ve been experiencing a dry, flaky scalp, so I researched what was a good shampoo to help with this issue. I’ve been using SEEN for about a month now and I can significantly notice the difference. My scalp is no longer constantly itchy and my hair feels so clean! Highly recommend!” –Kelly Z.
