Does your scalp change every time the seasons turn? Oiliness in summer, dryness in winter — scalp concerns tied to a particular season are something everyone meets. Keeping the scalp clean and in good condition through the year means understanding what each season does and adjusting your care to it. This article sets out the seasonal points to watch, along with ways of using ONSENSOU's Beppu hot spring algae. Ranked #1 in the Scalp Care category of the @cosme user review ranking (survey period: 1 September – 30 November 2019; iStyle Inc.). The ranking reflects the number of user reviews.
Preparing for an oily scalp in spring and summer
From spring into summer, as temperatures climb, scalp oiliness becomes noticeable. Warmth makes sebum flow more freely, and the scalp can feel greasy or heavy.
What matters most in this period is keeping the scalp clean. Spring, with its wide gap between morning and evening temperatures, and summer, when you sweat easily, both tend to leave the scalp environment unsettled. Wash carefully to lift away excess sebum and grime, and bring the scalp back to a clean state.
ONSENSOU's Beppu hot spring algae series adds moisture to the scalp through hot spring derived ingredients while leaving a clean, refreshed finish. Even in the months when oiliness is on your mind, it keeps the scalp clean while holding on to the moisture it needs.
When you wash, use the pads of your fingers as though massaging, and work the shampoo evenly across the whole scalp. Rinse thoroughly and take care that none is left behind on the scalp — residue can itself be a cause of greasiness.
Preparing for a dry scalp in autumn and winter
From autumn into winter the air dries out and the scalp loses moisture more readily. Indoor heating and cold outdoor air both hurry that drying along. A dry scalp brings discomfort, and it can show in how hair looks.
In the drier months, care that adds moisture to the scalp matters. Avoid shampoos that cleanse too strongly, and choose one that is gentle on the scalp and washes while holding moisture in place.
Beppu hot spring algae contains natural hot spring components that add moisture to the scalp while conditioning it. Even in seasons when dryness comes easily, it helps keep the scalp environment in good condition. Ranked #1 in the Scalp Care category of the @cosme user review ranking (survey period: 1 September – 30 November 2019; iStyle Inc.). The ranking reflects the number of user reviews. The gentleness of these hot spring derived ingredients on the scalp is much of what drew that response.
After shampooing, it also helps not to overdo the heat from the dryer. Keeping a sensible distance and drying on a low setting helps prevent dryness of the scalp while leaving hair in order. Rather than drying hair completely, stopping while a little softness remains is worth trying.
Points for scalp care at the turn of a season
The turn of a season is when the scalp environment is least settled. The scalp cannot keep pace with shifts in temperature and humidity, and oiliness and dryness sometimes sit side by side for a time.
In these weeks, watch the state of your scalp more closely than usual and match your care to how it is that day. Wash carefully on days when it feels greasy, and put moisture first on days when it feels dry — that flexibility is what works.
The appeal of ONSENSOU's hot spring algae care is its balance: it answers both oiliness and dryness. It keeps the scalp clean while leaving the moisture it needs, holding two opposing things together, and it adapts to the unsettled scalp environment of a changing season.
A year-round scalp care routine
Different seasons may call for different care, but it is worth establishing a routine as a base. Making daily care a habit builds a scalp environment that takes seasonal change in its stride.
Start by understanding your own scalp type. Is it naturally prone to oiliness, to dryness, or a mix of the two? Knowing your own scalp lets you respond sensibly to what each season brings.
It is also worth revisiting how often you wash. Some people need to wash daily; for others, once every two days suits better. Adjusting by season is useful too — daily in summer, every other day in winter, for instance.
Frequently asked questions
QWhy do oiliness and dryness appear at the same time when the seasons change?
AThe scalp cannot fully keep up with shifts in temperature and humidity, and the sebum balance can be thrown off in patches. You may find the T-zone greasy while other areas feel dry, a mixed state. Watching closely and keeping your care balanced is what counts.
QShould I change shampoo between summer and winter?
AYou do not have to, though adjusting with the season is one approach. A product that keeps the scalp clean while also adding moisture, as the ONSENSOU hot spring algae series does, can be used throughout the year.
QWhen my scalp feels dry, should I wash my hair less often?
ARather than washing less often, we would suggest using a shampoo that adds moisture to the scalp and revisiting how you wash. Keeping the scalp clean matters, so aim for care that cleanses gently while leaving moisture behind.
