Bundle Up
When it’s really cold, you probably wear a woolly hat or put up your hood to protect you from the elements.
But bundling up can make you sweat more, making your hair look greasier than normal. The oil from your scalp becomes liquid at warmer temperatures and, together with sweat, it spreads down the hair more, making the roots look greasy.
It can also cause dandruff to appear, as the warmer, more humid microclimate created on your scalp is ideal for the dandruff-causing microbes to thrive.
Luckily, there’s no need to kiss goodbye to warmth; don’t stop wearing your hat in winter. Just choose a shampoo that will tackle the excess oil and remove dandruff, like Head & Shoulders Citrus Breeze Shampoo.
Washing hair less frequently
In winter, you might change your hair care habits and wash your hair less often.
This might be because you don’t sweat as much as in summer or you don’t want to spend too long waiting for your hair to dry in the cold. Whatever the reason, your hair will probably appear greasier.
That’s because your scalp continuously produces oil, every hour of every day. Without shampooing, the excess oil builds up and traps dirt, dust and particles!
So, make sure you wash your hair regularly.
