Dry hair lacks moisture and natural oils, resulting in a rough texture that feels brittle and prone to tangling. It often looks dull and lacks shine, worsened by factors like excessive washing with harsh shampoos or exposure to environmental elements such as sun and dry air.While some cases of dry scalp result from medical conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, others can be due to factors that are simpler to manage, such as dehydration, overwashing the scalp, or a reaction to certain products. If a change in weather, such as dry climate, is the cause, a dehumidifier may help, too.

Estrogen affects the growth cycle of your hair, your scalp and follicle health, and the natural oils that keep hair smooth and lustrous. So, when estrogen levels go down as you move through menopause, your hair may shed, thin, lose density, change texture, and become dry.As our oestrogen levels plummet, one of the side effects is dry, itchy skin. Our oil glands lose size and reduce production, so our skin, including that on our scalp, wrinkles and becomes more susceptible to damage.
