Stay Hydrated: Winter dehydration can affect both skin and hair. Drinking plenty of water keeps your scalp hydrated, reducing dandruff and supporting overall hair health during the colder months.

Limit Heat Styling: Excessive use of heat tools in winter can dry out the scalp, worsening dandruff. Try to limit heat styling or use a heat protectant to minimize damage.
