As the colder months approach, experts warn that sudden changes in temperature could lead to increased dandruff for many of us.
According to hair care specialists at Head & Shoulders, the phenomenon of ‘winter stress’ can cause hormonal fluctuations in your body.
These changes may affect your oil production, which makes dandruff more common in winter.
I’ve had my fair share of scalp issues, from stubborn flakes that just wouldn’t go away to oily roots and oily skin.

Now that the temperatures are dropping, I find myself constantly itching. I have to stop myself from scratching. And that’s not even mentioning the annoying flakes that end up on my dark clothes.
What I didn’t realize is that some anti-dandruff products on the market can actually make the situation worse.
Stephanie Sey, trichologist at Nizoral, previously told Fabulous: “There are cosmetic ‘anti-dandruff’ products on the market that don’t address the root cause of dandruff.
“This can result in a frustrating ‘stop-start cycle’, leaving patients feeling helpless and irritated.
Excellent alternatives
“When treating dandruff, it is important to address the excessive growth of yeast on the scalp, as this is the cause of breakouts.
“Ingredients such as Piroctone Olamine and Selenium Sulphide are effective antifungal agents found in many anti-dandruff shampoos.
“They are an excellent alternative for people who do not respond well to azole antifungals.
“Tea Tree Oil is another helpful ingredient to consider. It is antibacterial, antifungal, and an antioxidant, all of which help reduce scalp inflammation.
The 5 Best DIY Hair Hacks
“In addition, salicylic acid, sulfur and cade oil are great for removing flaky skin and reducing itching.
“Some people find that anti-dandruff shampoos make their dandruff worse.
“Often this is because other ingredients in the products irritate the scalp, rather than the antifungal agents themselves.
“I recommend trying a few different products to see which one your scalp responds to best.”
As we prepare for the colder days, it is important to choose the right products to keep our scalp healthy and flake-free.
The 4 Phases of the Hair Growth Cycle
Hair experts at Philip Kingsley shared the four stages of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen, Telogen and Exogen
Anagen phase:Also called the ‘growth phase’ or ‘active phase’, is the phase in which the cells in the hair root divide most rapidly, causing more new hair to be formed.
During the Anagen Phase, hair grows about half an inch per month [about six inches a year]and faster in summer than in winter.
This phase of the hair growth cycle lasts an average of three to five years.
Catagen phase:After the anagen phase, your hair cycle enters a short transition phase called the catagen phase. This phase marks the end of active hair growth and separates individual hairs from the blood supply and the cells that produce new hair.
About three percent of all hairs are in this stage at any one time and it lasts about 10 days.
Telogen phase:The third phase of your natural hair growth cycle is the telogen phase, a resting period during which hairs remain in their follicles but are not actively growing.
It is estimated that 10-15 percent of your hair is in the telogen phase at any given time.
The telogen phase lasts about three months or 100 days.
Exogenous phase:The final stage of the hair growth cycle, when individual hair strands release from their follicles and fall out.
Now the whole process starts again.
