Taking care of your hair is about more than what you wash it with. Find out how the amount of water you drink affects your hair and scalp.

Water is vital to our survival. But its effect on our bodies goes far further than you might expect. When it comes to your scalp, drinking enough water is important in the fight against conditions like dandruff, and should be used alongside other effective strategies, like washing your hair with a proper shampoo.

How water helps your scalp

Water plays a massive role in the health of your body. This includes the condition of your skin and your scalp.

It’s perhaps the most important factor in hydrating these areas and maintaining the effective functioning of skin cells.

When you don’t get enough water, your skin cells begin to dry up and can flake. This can cause itching and irritation, but more importantly it can actively damage your skin, and make it more vulnerable to conditions like dandruff.

On the scalp, this damage can start to affect your hair. Healthy hair comes from a healthy, moisturized scalp. On the other hand, hair that grows from a weakened scalp can suffer permanent cuticle damage. Scratching can damage scalp and hair surfaces even further, making them weak.

How to keep your scalp healthy

Luckily, even if you’ve already got a dry scalp, the solution is simple. Start by making sure you’re drinking enough – the typical guideline is roughly 2 liters or half a gallon of water a day.

At the same time, you can take other steps to alleviate your scalp’s dryness, and moisturize using a shampoo specifically formulated for dry scalp. This will help give your hair and scalp the boost it needs to get back to its best.
