Can dehydrated skin cause hair loss?
Short answer: No, dehydrated skin does not directly cause hair loss.
Detailed answer
Dehydrated skin typically affects the outermost layer, the epidermis, while hair loss is primarily caused by factors like genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or certain medications. However, if dehydration affects the overall health of the body, it may indirectly contribute to hair loss by impacting the function and health of hair follicles. Maintaining overall hydration and a healthy diet could support hair health and prevent potential hair loss.
