Dry hair/scalp, itchy and flaky?

i recently started using a blow dryer and my hair and scalp have become dry and flaky. I have thick, curly hair so i have to use gel and hairspray to keep it from getting puffy, frizzy and going all over the place, so i was just wondering if using something like VO5 hot oil would add some moisture. also, i use conditioner after i wash my hair and i noticed that some of my hair falls out, is this normal?

the hot oil treatments will help for the dryness of the hair and scalp. for the itch and flakes use tea tree oil shampoo and conditioners. you can find them in any beauty supply store. you can also try drying your hair on a low heat setting. your hair shouldn't fall out if its moisturized properly so keep it moisturized

Dry hair/scalp, itchy and flaky?

1) It is normal to loose a few hairs every day.

2) Use a super absorbent hair towel (ex. Aquis or The Body Shop) %26amp; keep the blow dryer away from your scalp. Use a cooler setting at the roots too. http://www.aquis.com/

3) Try to find a low alcohol gel. Consider using a silicone anti-frizz serum instead. Kiehl's Silk Groom is another good product for curly hair %26amp; will leave it soft. http://www.kiehls.com/_us/_en/catalog/pr...

4) Joico K-Pak conditioner is excellent. It can be used every day or as a deep conditioning mask if left on for 5-10 minutes. Joico also makes a spray on leave in conditioner. http://joico.com/index.php

5) If you need to moisturize your scalp, rub a drop of jojoba oil between your hands %26amp; massage your scalp. I use Desert Essence brand. It's available @ Trader Joes', Whole Foods, etc. Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic %26amp; washes out easily so there is no build up. http://desertessence.com/

6) Consider finding hair styles that allow you to let your hair dry naturally. ex) Braid loosely %26amp; twist it into a bun, secure w/ hair pins. Use a little pomade or serum to help smooth it out.

7) Consult a hair dresser about a different hair cut that works w/ your hair texture.
