5. Flaky Skin
It is common for people to experience dry and flaky skin. This is more common during the winter months when the air is much drier. The dry air can cause the skin to start to flake. This is especially true when it comes to the scalp. When you wash your hair, the shampoo that you use might also be the reason that your scalp is becoming dry.
When your scalp is dry you might notice that you have flakes coming off of your scalp when you comb or brush your hair. If you scrape the skin off of your scalp, you are at risk of infection as these scrapes can become open, and bacteria can then get into the scalp and cause other issues. One of the ways that you can treat a dry scalp is to use a special shampoo that is designed for dandruff. This can reduce your risk of getting an infection as well.
