Discover why dandruff can worsen in summer and how to tackle the root cause of dandruff.
First, it's important to understand that it's not the warm climate that's to blame. At first glance, this seems to be the obvious conclusion, given that symptoms worsen as the temperature rises.
In fact, there's no respite from dandruff; it's a year-round problem. Dandruff is caused by a micro-organism permanently present on the scalp, come rain or shine.

But during the summer months, a number of factors can make symptoms appear worse, including:
- heat: as the temperature rises, the micro-organism Malassezia Globosa, responsible for the problem, starts to proliferate, and dandruff multiplies
- sweat: again, this provides Malassezia Globosa with the ideal environment for its activity, increasing the risk of an outbreak
- pollution: when the weather is milder, we spend more time outdoors and are more exposed to pollutants, which can weaken the scalp's natural defenses. The risk of dandruff appearing increases.
How to protect the scalp during summer The simplest and most effective way to prevent dandruff is to use an anti-dandruff shampoo every time you wash your hair.
And that's where Head & Shoulders shampoo comes in. It contains zinc pyrithione, which has been shown in hundreds of clinical studies to be effective against dandruff.
Not only does it eliminate dandruff during an outbreak, but it also prevents its reappearance.
Its action protects your scalp from external factors that aggravate dandruff. With regular use, it acts as a barrier against the appearance of this scourge, ensuring you have a carefree summer, as well as autumn, winter, and spring.
