If you’ve been dealing with dry scalp flaking, itching, and irritation, chances are your scalp is dealing with some imbalances. It’s could either be from a bad reaction to hair care products or from a reaction to the change in weather. Scalp care is just as important as skin care, and a hydrating scalp serum just might be the answer to your concerns!
This post will talk about a hydrating scalp serum that really works for alleviating dry scalp flaking, itching, and irritation.
What Caused My Scalp Irritation
I was using the OUAI Detox Shampoo 1-2x a week and had a bad reaction to it. My scalp became very itchy and dry, so I stopped using the shampoo. However, that didn’t stop the irritation. Even though I discontinued using the OUAI Detox Shampoo, my scalp was very very itchy to the point where I was constantly scratching my scalp every day. Scratching my scalp caused wounds and scabs that I would pick at, and I would tear up at night because I was so frustrated by the pain and itching.
What Fixed My Scalp Irritation
The Living Proof Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment relieved my itching and irritated scalp in 3-4 weeks with minimal effort.
I went to Ulta and decided to try the Living Proof Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment because it focused on balancing the microbiome. I used to work at a science-backed acne skincare company who focused on balancing the skin microbiome, so when I saw that the Living Proof Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment was a hydrating scalp serum that also focused on the microbiome, I liked that it was a treatment that was targeting the overall health of the scalp. It’s important to have a healthy and balanced scalp microbiome in order to prevent concerns like scalp itchiness, dryness, and irritation. It’s a long term fix.
I began to use the product consistently for 2 weeks according to the recommended usage of 3x a week. Throughout the 3rd and 4th week I would use it 1-2x a week because my scalp was noticeably feeling better. My itching and scabbing subsided, and most importantly my scalp felt healed. Now I use it every so often, maybe 1-2x a month because I have extra product left. I’m definitely going to restock once I run out. It’s a good way to keep the scalp healthy and balanced.
The Living Proof Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment is super easy to use, which made the application process a breeze. I used a scalp massager to help get the product penetrated into the scalp. The Briogeo Massager is the exact massager I used. It felt good when applying the product, but I think any gentle scalp massager would do just fine!
Ingredients in the Hydrating Scalp Serum
The Living Proof Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment is a leave-in treatment that offers instant hydration and lasting relief, soothing the flaking, itching, and irritation associated with a dry scalp. It contains hyaluronic acid which delivers relief and sustained hydration to the scalp skin barrier, leading to a well-balance microbiome. The hydrating scalp serum also contains Vitamin B3, which is a microbiome balancing complex. This specific ingredient rebalances the scalp’s natural ecosystem for long-lasting relief.

This was one of my first purchases from Living Proof, and I’m so glad it was. I can only imagine their other products are also great. I have a few other products I’d love to try. Have you tried Living Proof? Let me know your experience!
