I love a scalding hot shower as much as the next person, but your scalp? It hates it. Hot water dissolves oil faster than a detective solves a case. It literally melts off your protective barrier.
Try rinsing your hair with lukewarm water, and finish with a quick cool rinse. It wakes up your circulation and seals the hair cuticles. It feels a little shocking at first, but it’s like giving your scalp a refreshing glass of ice water on a hot day.
