A dry scalp does not cause hair loss but might lead to the same in the long run!

When you take proper care of your diet and hair and yet notice more hair strands on your pillow, towel, or shower drain, you start to worry. So if everything seems to be in order and you are still losing your hair, a dry scalp might be a reason behind it. 

Does Dry Scalp Cause Hair Loss?

A dry scalp does not lead to hair loss but can lead to different causes that can trigger the problem.

• A dry scalp can lead to itching which can in turn weaken your hair roots. This might result in hair loss. 
• Another reason could be if you have scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis then the hair products used to treat the same might trigger your hair loss. So always discuss this with your doctor in advance.
• A dry scalp can also be due to low sebum production which is necessary for your hair to grow healthier. Due to the lack of sebum, you might notice frizzy hair, damaged hair, split ends, and hair breakage. 

How To Treat It?

• To treat your dry scalp the first and ideal step would be to use hot oil treatment using nourishing hair oils like argan oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, or others. Weekly pre-poo treatment can be beneficial in treating your dry scalp. 
• Another quick hack would be investing in a good moisturizing shampoo that is free of SLS as it would not strip off natural oils and moisture from your hair and scalp while washing. Instead, it would soothe your itchy and dry scalp. 
• You can go for hair and scalp detox treatments or you can try DIYs at home. 
• ACV rinse can also be a good way to treat your dry scalp. 
• Invest in good nourishing hair masks that help with dry scalp causing hair loss problems. You can also make hair masks using aloe vera gel, coconut oil, banana, honey, avocado, yogurt, and others. 

Thus you can be assured that dry scalp does not cause hair loss directly but its always better to take precautions, right?
