Dandruff, those pesky flakes from your scalp, tends to act up more in winter due to factors like dry air and wearing hats often. Here are some easy tips to keep it under control:
Use shampoos and conditioners with hydrating ingredients like tea tree oil, aloe vera, or coconut oil to keep your scalp moisturized.
Using heat styling tools too often can dry out your scalp and increase dandruff. Try to cut back or use a cooler setting.
Hot water can dry out your scalp, making dandruff worse. Stick to lukewarm water when washing your hair.
A balanced diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals can help fight dandruff. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon and nuts, are especially good for scalp health.
Stress can make dandruff worse, so find ways to de-stress like exercising or meditating.
Brushing your hair gently can improve blood circulation in your scalp and remove dead skin cells and excess oil.
