TIP:  Do not ever put hot water on the crown of your head.  Try to avoid this area if you blow-dry your hair or use a cooler setting.  Protect your hair and scalp from the elements. Severe cold weather or hot sunshine can dry your hair out.  Use extra conditioner, do intense conditioning, and occasional oil treatment to lock moisture in your hair.  Make sure to massage your scalp after lengthy ‘hat-wearing’. Hats protect the scalp from the elements but also can create reduced oxygen to the scalp which can produce itchy scalp and other hair problems.
