Dermatologist Cynthia Qedes warned about the negative health effects of washing hair with hot water.
Medianews.az reports that the doctor stated hot water excessively removes sebum, the protective layer of the scalp. As a result, problems such as dry skin, flaking, and irritation may occur.
Qedes added that washing with hot water can cause a "rebound effect": the scalp starts producing more oil, and hair becomes oily quickly. Also, hot water can worsen dandruff.
The doctor recommends washing hair only with lukewarm or cool water.
