Your scalp is living, breathing skin — and it reacts to change just like the rest of your body. ❄️🍃

When winter rolls in, so do shifts in your microbiome, oil production, hydration levels, and stress. That’s why flakes, itching, and irritation often flare this time of year.

As a trichologist, my goal is never to just treat symptoms. It’s to understand why they’re happening in the first place. Because when you support the scalp at the root (literally), your hair responds with strength, clarity, and balance.

If you’re noticing seasonal changes right now, you’re not imagining it, and you don’t have to guess your way through it.

Your scalp has a story. I’m here to help you read it. ✨ check out this month’s blog (link in bio) to learn more.

If your scalp feels itchy every fall and winter, you’re not alone. 🍂 As the air cools and humidity drops, your scalp’s natural barrier becomes more vulnerable, leading to dryness, irritation, and even flare-ups of conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis.

Seasonal changes affect everything from oil production to your scalp’s microbiome, creating the perfect storm for discomfort. But understanding which condition you’re experiencing is the first step toward real relief.

Swipe through to learn the four most common reasons your scalp itches this time of year—and what a trichologist recommends to bring it back into balance. 🧴✨

In my latest blog, I’m breaking down why seasonal shifts trigger scalp irritation, how to tell whether you’re dealing with dryness, dandruff, or something more, and what you can do to restore comfort and balance.
