Why is Your Head Itchy Without Lice? Here's What You Can Do

It turns out that head itching isn't just about lice. Wondering why it's happening and what you can do? First, it's important to remember that our scalp has its own presence up there. If it's dry, for example, this can lead to itchiness. Sleeping with air conditioning during this heat? Great. But, be aware that dry air or the heating and cooling from air conditioners can strip your scalp of its protective oils, leading to itchy sores. The outdoor heat also plays a strong role in these itches due to sweat droplets pooling on the scalp alongside dirt and residue from products we use, like shampoo, conditioner, gel, and hair moisturizer. If you're experiencing unexplained head itching without lice, here's a few natural solutions that might help ease the itch: **Apple Cider Vinegar and Water** Leave this solution on for exactly two minutes, as any longer might cause burning. If you have any open sores on your scalp, it's better not to use apple cider vinegar. Mix half a cup of apple cider vinegar with half a cup of water, and apply it to your scalp. Leave for two minutes, then rinse. **Aloe Vera Gel** Thought it was only good for skin? Think again. Apply aloe vera gel on your scalp and leave it for 20 minutes. You'll be amazed by the relief it brings to your itch. **Coconut Oil** Massaging the scalp with a small amount of coconut oil can soothe the itchiness. **Chamomile Tea Rinse** Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties that can even soothe the fiercest itch. Make a cup of chamomile tea, let it cool, and use it to rinse your scalp.
