Effect of heat and sweat on hair
According to skin experts, itching and sweating of the scalp in summer is not just a summer problem, but it is a sign that the microbial and sebaceous balance of the scalp has been disturbed. Due to high heat, the production of sebum increases, while due to humidity, sweat is unable to disappear from the skin surface. Due to this, bacteria and fungus accumulate. If not treated on time, it can lead to itchy and oily skin, dandruff, and inflammation around the pores. This can also affect the hair.
