The winter season is a real challenge for hair and scalp. Low temperatures, changes between cold and warmth in the room, friction against hats, dry air, vitamin deficiency - all this can lead to brittle, dull, flaky, and even seasonal hair loss. Many of the clinic's patients ML Beauty Clinic (ml-beautyclinic.com.ua) people come to us in the winter when they notice that their hair has become "different" under the hat: the volume disappears, the roots become fatter, the tips are dry, and the scalp can be itchy and flaky.
In this article, we have collected recommendations from ML Beauty Clinic trichologists on how to properly care for your hair when a hat is a must-have element of your wardrobe, and how to keep your hair beautiful and healthy until spring.
❄️ Why does hair behave "worse" in winter?
Before proceeding with the tips, it is important to understand the nature of the problem. Several negative factors affect hair and scalp in winter:
1. Cold and wind
Low temperatures cause capillary spasm in the scalp, which impairs the nutrition of hair follicles. The result is increased hair loss, slower growth and brittleness.
2. Dry indoor air
Heating dries out the air, and with it, the skin and hair. The fat balance is disturbed, dandruff, irritation, and dryness of the ends appear.
3. Friction against the cap
Synthetic and coarse materials create static electricity, increase hair fragility and curl.
4. Excessive sweating under the hat
When the room is warm and you wear a hat, the scalp can "overheat". This provokes rapid contamination, greasiness and clogging of the follicles.
5. Deficiency of vitamin D and other micronutrients
In winter, we get much less sunlight, which means we also get less of the nutrients necessary for hair growth.
At ML Beauty Clinic, trichologists often see a "combo" of problems in winter - oily roots + dry tips + seasonal hair loss. But proper care and competent procedures can help to level it out.
🎩 How to wear a hat correctly so as not to harm your hair?
1. 1. Choose natural materials
Wool, cashmere, and cotton are the best choices.
Synthetics create electrification and provoke brittleness.
2. Avoid hats that are too tight
Compression disrupts blood circulation and increases prolapse.
3. Wash the hat regularly
Sweat and dirt are a breeding ground for bacteria that cause irritation and dandruff.
4. Do not put the hat on wet hair
This doubles the brittleness.
🧴 Winter hair care: basic rules
1. 1. Proper cleaning
Under a hat, the scalp gets greasy faster, so it's important to choose a shampoo that works:
cleanses gently;
does not dry out;
regulates sebum;
is suitable for your skin type.
At ML Beauty Clinic, a trichologist diagnoses the scalp using professional equipment and then selects an individual product.
2. Intensive moisturizing
In winter, hair loses moisture faster than in summer.
Be sure to use it:
conditioner after each wash;
moisturizing mask 1-2 times a week;
indelible hair sprays or creams.
3. Thermal protection is a must!
After a cold day outdoors, we usually enter a warm room where our hair dries unevenly. That's why you need thermal protection even without a hairdryer.
4. Scalp care
In winter, the skin can peel off, itch, or, on the contrary, become excessively oily.
ML Beauty Clinic trichologists recommend:
scalp peels (once every 7-10 days);
lotions that regulate sebum;
therapeutic serums for irritation or dandruff.
