Also, you should pay extra attention to the scalp to prevent possible inflammations. Keep reading to find out how to stop hair from thinning and how to make the strands stronger from the roots to the ends.
Seasonal hair loss? Indeed, it happens pretty often and the cause for that are hormonal fluctuations that take place in our body. Moreover, hair hidden underneath a winter cap doesn’t access much oxygen, which has a negative impact too. Free skin breathing and air circulation were reduced to minimum during winter, and this often leads to inflammation of follicles. As a consequence, hair falls out uncontrollably and scalp is irritated. Do you want to deal with such winter aftermath? Try the home treatments for distressed hair.
