Cold, Dry Weather and Seborrheic Dermatitis
At this time of year, when the cold weather begins to hit many parts of Brazil, cases of seborrheic dermatitis increase significantly. Many clients come to salons and clinics with this scalp condition.
Dry days are favorable for an increase in cases of seborrheic dermatitis, but some factors are even more important in contributing to this increase. The first point is the decrease in hair washing, which favors the proliferation of fungi. malassezia. In addition to washing less frequently, the use of excessively hot water is also a factor. It is quite likely that, under these conditions, the water will cause or encourage irritation and dehydration of the scalp.
Curly Hair and Seborrheic Dermatitis
Another factor draws attention to the increase in this case, especially in curly and frizzy hair. This occurs mainly due to the large accumulation of leave-in creams in the strands and the low frequency of cleaning. The aggravating factor in this group is still due to the dissemination by some digital influencers who, without any basis, recommend the use of sulfate-free shampoos.
To help this audience reduce and combat this problem, I generally recommend using a product based on salicylic acid and tea tree; I'm talking about the sanitizer. Pre-Shampoo Purifier. Other important items for care are: tea tree, lemongrass, clove and cedar essential oils. Phototherapy is also an important resource in the care of this pathology, as is ozone therapy.
Home Care
In addition to all this, it is very important to use the right products and apply them correctly at home. Continuous, daily treatment is the best medicine for your hair. Therefore, we must pay attention to the recommendations of our hairdressers. homecare ideal. For these cases, in particular, I recommend the shampoo Capillus Up Ice Tea Tree Anti-Dandruff Phyto or the line Dry Comfort, from Flowers & Vegetables.
