According to a study published in 2015 in “Dermato-Endocrinology“, about 60% of those surveyed reported deterioration of hair health during the cold season, with dryness being the most common phenomenon and 30% of participants reported a noticeable increase in hair loss. In general, it is estimated that cold weather can contribute to seasonal hair loss up to 10-20% more than at other times of the year.
But why is cold weather harmful?
Cold winter weather is harmful to hair mainly for two reasons: the dryness of the air and the thermal changes frequent; just think of the temperature range between indoors and outdoors. The direct consequence is that hair, which is naturally hydrated by moisture, begins to lose fluids, becoming dry and more brittle.
How does cold weather damage hair?
The cold affects hair in various ways, contributing to increased brittleness and compromising its beauty.
In winter, many people notice an increase in hair loss. Although this phenomenon is also related to seasonality, the cold and low humidity contribute to further stress on the hair and scalp. Seasonal hair loss, in fact, can increase up to the 20% compared with other times of the year.
Problems associated with the winter season not only affect premature hair loss: phenomena such as dryness and irritation can also affect the well-being of the skin, consequently damaging the hair as well.
La dryness leads hair to become dull, rough and more prone to breakage. The cuticles, which are the outer protections of the hair, are lifted, making the hair more susceptible to external damage. A dry hair is also less elastic and harder to comb: precisely why in the cold weather hair is more prone to breakage.
When hair is dry, its strength decreases and all it takes is a little trauma (such as combing wet hair or wearing hats that are too tight) to cause breakage or split ends. This effect is accentuated if the hair is already damaged by chemical treatments or styling tools.
The winter season also can aggravate conditions such as dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, as dry air and indoor heating can cause flaking, itching and irritation.
