Can dehydrated skin cause hair thinning or significant hair loss?
Short answer: Dehydrated skin does not directly cause hair thinning or significant hair loss.
Detailed answer
While dehydrated skin can impact overall skin health, it doesn't have a direct effect on hair follicles, which are responsible for hair growth. Hair thinning or significant hair loss is usually attributed to other factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, medical conditions, or certain medications. However, maintaining proper hydration is still crucial for overall skin health and can indirectly contribute to maintaining healthy hair growth by supporting optimal blood circulation and nourishment to the scalp.
