Yogurt
Since yogurt is made from fermented milk, its nutritional value is preserved after being cultured. It can vary from low and high-fat content to Greek and plain yogurts. When treating an itchy scalp, it is recommended to use Greek or plain yogurts as they have the most nutritional content. Yogurt is an excellent home remedy for an itchy scalp due to its natural cooling and anti-inflammatory characteristics.
The itchiness and inflammation are treated by the zinc concentrations of yogurts. Its anti-inflammatory qualities aid in follicular de-clogging and reducing deposits on the scalp. Also, the lactic acid in yogurt is a good exfoliator for the scalp since it helps break down the connections that keep dead skin cells together.
It has been shown that lactic acid may stimulate hair growth while simultaneously reducing dandruff. Furthermore, Greek yogurt’s enzymes are effective against dandruff. To use as a home remedy, combine a quarter cup of Greek or plain yogurt with a few drops of jojoba oil. Let it sit on the scalp for 30 minutes before rinsing. You may also use a mixture of plain yogurt, lemon juice, and vinegar instead.
