5 common hair problems you should know in winter
Winter is the season with frequent hair problems. Five hair problems are extremely easy to occur, and they are also problems that we need to prevent and try to solve. To maintain your hair, you need to know them carefully and do corresponding work.
1. Static hair
- Static hair is the most common hair problem in winter. The air is dry, and your hair can easily generate and absorb electric charges through friction, which can easily lead to hair disorder. For example, when you wake up in the winter morning, your hair is messy. Your hair is also easy to get irregular due to electrostatic reaction caused by friction with air.
2. Dandruff
- In winter, dandruff is more likely to appear on the heels of your hair. White dandruff will affect the appearance of your hair and falling on your shoulders will also affect the appearance of your clothes. Cold weather leads to dry scalp and even excessive irritation, which will aggravate your dandruff. If you are wearing a wig, this situation will be better.
3. Tangled hair
- In winter, due to the dry weather, this will aggravate the dryness of your hair, which will make your hair more tangled. The tangles of your hair are often related to your combing and hair care products. Therefore, if you need to solve the problem of tangled hair in winter, you often must start from many aspects.
4. Dry hair
- When your hair lacks moisture, your hair will be dull, fragile, split, or even broken and fall off. These are the hazards of dry hair. The appearance of dry hair is often related to cleaning and heat setting wigs, and the cold air in winter is also one of the reasons.
5. Itchy & dry scalp
- In winter, the temperature is low, and the moisture content is low, which is easy to cause the water loss of scalp and hair, and it is difficult to supplement it, which will lead to dryness and itching of scalp. When you scratch your head to relieve itching, you will also do secondary damage to your hair and scalp, causing more itching and hair shedding.
How to handle the 5 common hair problems
