Gray hair care tips address dryness from cold weather
Experts explain how low humidity and indoor heating affect gray hair texture during colder months.
Cold air dries out strands
Cooler temperatures pull moisture from the hair while indoor heating worsens the condition. This process makes gray hair feel rough, brittle, and more prone to breakage.
Structural changes cause issues
Gray hair lacks melanin and has fewer natural lipids than darker strands. The rougher cuticle reflects light differently, which can make the hair look dull or wiry.
Scalp health also declines
Both the texture of the hair and the scalp change when temperatures drop. Flakiness and irritation are common consequences for people with gray hair in winter.
