Wear a hat or cap in direct sunlight.
Use a scalp sunscreen spray if necessary.

Lice: still a problem.

Disinfect bedding and clothing to prevent re-infestation.
Practical tips to relieve itching:
Use mild shampoos and avoid very hot water.
Do not scratch with your nails to avoid damaging the skin.
Moisturize your scalp regularly, especially during dry periods.
Eat a balanced diet to support healthy hair.

An itchy scalp can be uncomfortable and even debilitating. While it can have many causes, solutions exist for every case. Don’t suffer from this problem: an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment will help you regain comfort and peace of mind.
