Yes, like the skin on your face, your hair and scalp can become dehydrated. During the winter months your hair will feel dry and brittle as you notice an increase in hair in your comb. Dry scalp disorders flare up more in the winter months when complaints of scalp itch are at an all time high. Hydration is vital to the stability of your hair and scalp, and a lack of hydration can be damaging.
If you have an extremely dry scalp and hair, you should take extra care of your tresses in order to avoid hair loss or even an infection. In addition, make sure you choose a hairstyle that you can manage during winter. Not only will moisterizing your hair help to hydrate your mane, it will also help your hairstyle to stay in place.
Lisa Akbari, board-certified trichologist, says it's important for women who work out to wash their hair each time they work out.
