At my age, my hair falls out in winter, summer, and monsoon anyway! But yes, winter dandruff definitely makes it worse. I just apply some warm oil and hope for the best.
Yes, dry winter air robs the scalp of moisture, leading to dry roots and dandruff, which increases hair fall. Try to avoid using very hot water for hair washes, lukewarm is much better.

Beta, winter brings dryness to everything. In our village, we use a little warm mustard oil on the scalp before bathing to keep it soft. Don't worry, your hair will grow back once spring comes.
