There's probably nothing that's as annoying as an itchy scalp. Come summer, and it is a common problem that pops up, making our life hell. While there are many reasons that could lead to an itchy scalp, one of the main causes is dryness.

Hence it becomes all the more important to tend to one's diet and also put in a little effort to take care of your beauty needs.
