When the thermometer goes down in the street and goes up at home and the office, surely one of the first things you notice is the dryness of your lips and the skin of your face, but what about your hair? Hair biology expert Dominic Burg working with hair product brand Evolis on how to protect our mane in the coldest season. Do not miss it.

How does cold affect our scalp?

Of course the weather can have an effect on the scalp. The cold winter air is especially dry and can contribute to dry skin, which can cause higher sensitivity, itching, stinging and flaking that affects many people during this season. The skin on your scalp is like the skin on the rest of your body.

What should someone with dry skin do in this area?

[I recommend] that you take particular care with conditioners. Make sure you don't apply it to your scalp, especially ones that are made with silicone that leave a film on the skin that can cause dryness. I also recommend regular gentle scalp cleansing, with silicone-free products and [preferably] natural ingredients.

And how often should they wash their hair?

Excessive washes on dry skin can increase the problem and alter its bacterial flora. The scalp has trillions of good microbes that help balance the pH of the skin. Often, using very aggressive shampoos can damage this flora and result in problems like dandruff, flaking or dryness, as I mentioned before. Gentle cleansing 2-3 times a week is good for unblocking pores and removing dry skin. Then [I recommend] using a scalp serum or tonic to keep it healthy.
