Heat damage, dry scalp, and dandruff
When you blow dry your hair, you’re also heating up your scalp.
This causes your scalps natural moisture to evaporate quickly. Plus, you could also be damaging the scalp’s outer layer which acts as a defence to keep essential moisture in.
Do this enough, and you can end up with a dry scalp as well as some of these signs:
Irritation
Itchiness
Redness
If you’re prone to dandruff – and around 50% of people are – you may start to see flakes too as the scalp’s natural defences are compromised, opening the door to a dandruff flare-up.
