How to Stop Horse Riding Helmets Causing an Itchy Scalp
As they get older, the soft fabric lining of your equestrian / horse-riding helmet slowly absorbs oils from your scalp and hair, skin residues, hair products and general dust and grime.
This becomes a breeding ground for bacteria... they likes it in there!
Each time your helmet is worn millions of bacteria are pressed tightly against your scalp where it's warm and moist. This creates optimal conditions for itch and irritation.
So what do you do? Have a good old scratch of course. Your finger nails can cause microscopic lesions in the delicate surface of your scalp - whilst this may not be sufficient enough to cause bleeding - it is sufficient for those pesky bacteria to 'move in' and create their havoc by causing more itchy irritation for you to want to scratch - it's a catch 22 scenario:
The itch gets worse and pretty soon there is good reason for associating the wearing of your horse riding helmet with you experiencing an itch scalp.
