Fine hair is not necessarily thinning hair, but it can be fine hair that lacks substance and volume and lies extremely flat to the head. Unfortunately, most of advice on how to add body and volume to flyaway hair eventually leads to the hair shaft damage.
For example, spraying the roots with salty water to give it texture and ‘roughness’, is just asking for trouble and not practical.
First of all, let’s take a look at some of the itchy scalp causes and see what may be done to prevent dry hair and scalp.
Environmental factors
Make sure you use a sun-screening shampoo and conditioner, because the sun and wind will dry your scalp very quickly if you do not protect it. The chlorine in swimming pools is another culprit on the list of itchy scalp causes, so be careful to rinse your hair thoroughly afterwards and shampoo with a good quality shampoo that eliminates chlorine from the hair.
A little time spent in the glorious sunshine can be a terrific health-giving experience that produces vitamin D to keep our bones strong. However, too much time in the sun causes aggressive free radicals to break down the protein/keratin structure within the hair shaft. This leaves dry, damaged hair that looks unhealthy and is difficult to style.
