Many people experience dry scalp, which leads to dandruff, brittle hair, and hair loss. Some causes that can make your scalp dry are dehydration, weather changes and vitamin deficiency. Know what causes dry scalp

Dehydration

The water intake in our bodies during winter is generally low. Drinking less water not only hampers the skin but also causes a dry scalp and makes it itchy.

Frequent Hair Wash

Washing hair too often can remove natural oils from scalp and lead to dryness. It makes your hair brittle and cause hair fall.

Wrong Hair Products

Using wrong hair products or chemicals harmful to your hair can irritate and dry your scalp. Avoid styling your hair regularly.

Vitamins Deficiency

Deficiencies of vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 can cause dry patches on your scalp and also cause dandruff.

You can make changes in your diet and avoid some of these causes for a healthy scalp. If dry scalp persists for a long time, you should consult to a doctor.
