It’s important to remember, hot weather doesn’t cause dandruff. Although it’s easy to think it might as manypeople notice their symptoms are aggravated during warmer weather.

Dandruff is in fact a year-round problem for those who suffer from it. It's caused by a microbe on the scalp that’s always present comerain or shine.

More about the causes of dandruff

But during the summer months, there are a number of things which may make the symptoms appear worse, including:

  • heat – as temperatures rise, the dandruff-causing microbe Malassezia globosa is more likely to thrive, raising the prospect of adandruff flare-up.

  • sweat– this can also provide ideal conditions for Malassezia globosa to thrive, raising the prospect of a flare-up.

  • pollution– in warmer weather we tend to be outside more, and this puts us in contact with more pollutants which can damage your scalp’snatural defenses. With your defences down, you’re more at risk of dandruff.
