A lot of how we look depends on the health and condition of our hair. A healthy scalp provides nourishment for your hair and its roots. It also keeps our hair looking healthy, where an unhealthy one can cause dry scalp and hair loss. But when problems with our scalp arise, so do problems with our hair. They are both linked. You cannot have healthy hair without a healthy scalp.
One of the biggest factors that surround dry scalp and thinning hair is the weather. You will notice that your scalp feels drier in winter, and your hair is more brittle. A dry scalp will decrease the health of your hair, and you will see more breakage during the winter.
While a dry scalp may not necessarily directly cause hair loss, the problems that accompany a dry scalp may contribute to the thinning of hair, as well as hair loss.
Dry scalps are itchy, and what do we do when we are itching? We scratch. When you scratch your scalp, you dislodge the dead skin cells which are produced during the normal hair growth cycle.
An itchy scalp also causes dandruff due to dryness. Dandruff is a problem that plagues many people, but this could also be a sign that your scalp is not healthy. If left untreated, a dry scalp could cause long lasting damage to your hair, so don’t wait too long before you take action.
