I definitely feel your pain when it comes to a dry scalp. I've suffered with one for as long as I can remember, and it's always worse during the winter months. After using almost every "dry scalp" product, I've found that applying essential oils to my scalp while my hair is still damp after washings and then wrapping actually helps to provide more moisture to my scalp than applying them after I have wrapped and dried my hair. I also use a cream-based product (JF Relax Moisture Re-Hydrating Balm) on my scalp twice to three times a week and it's working much better for me than the oil based scalp conditioners that I've used, and as an added plus, the balm does an excellent job at keeping my new growth soft and smooth. I'd also suggest increasing your water intake to keep your body/skin/scalp as hydrated as possible.
