First, let’s figure out why your scalp is acting out. Your scalp is just skin, but with a lot more hair getting in the way.
Winter air is a massive culprit. When the heater kicks on, it sucks every drop of moisture out of the room, and your scalp pays the price. It’s like leaving a grape in the sun; it shrivels and dries up.
Another common villain is over-washing. If you’re scrubbing your hair every single day with a harsh, clarifying shampoo, you’re stripping away the natural oils that keep your head happy. You’re basically power-washing a delicate flower.
