5. Baking Soda is a Gentle Exfoliant

If your scalp itchiness is caused by product buildup or flaky skin, exfoliation may help. Baking soda’s fine, crystalline texture makes it a great natural scrub, while its alkalinity helps break down oils and residue.

That said, baking soda can be drying, so use it sparingly:

  • Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with one cup of warm water.
  • Massage into the scalp like a shampoo.
  • Rinse thoroughly.

Use no more than once a week to avoid stripping your hair's natural oils.
