By Sava Tang Alcantara. A dry scalp may be a result of using very drying shampoos that strip the hair of its protective oils. Each hair strand is made up of several layers of keratin, or proteins. The scalp also produces sebum, or a layer of oil, similar to what is produced by the skin in other areas of the body.
