In the cold season, many people ask themselves: is it possible to go outside without a hat?

To answer this question, it is worth remembering the harmful effects of cold: sub-zero temperatures, at a minimum, can slow down blood circulation and disrupt hair nutrition.

Here are just a few of the reasons why you should wear a hat when the outside thermometer drops to +1.

According to dermatologist and trichologist Tatyana Egorova, if you ignore a hat in the cold, you may experience hair loss.

The hair follicle is a rapidly dividing organ that is highly sensitive to changes in the external environment. If the "outside" is unfavorable, hair may fall out.

You shouldn’t think that staying in the cold is fraught with any kind of skin disease – freezing and spasm of peripheral vessels are enough for your hair to leave your hairstyle.

In addition, hair loss is also influenced by other factors, including age, genetics and health.

And although there are people for whom temperature changes do not affect their health, if you go outside every cold day with your head uncovered, some of your hair will fall out within a month, the expert said in a conversation with Life.ru.
