Does hair fall out more in winter?

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.

My dermatologist at Apollo told me that dry winter scalp can cause temporary shedding. However, they advised me to get a proper scalp scan done if it doesn't stop. Always better to ask a doctor clearly.

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.

I used to suffer from terrible winter hair fall and itching. What helped me was applying warm coconut oil mixed with a little hibiscus flower paste. It kept my scalp hydrated and reduced the breakage immensely.

Dry scalp in winter can cause hair fall, but keep an eye on your general health too. When my BP medications were adjusted, my hair quality also changed. Regular health checkups are very important.
