How to look after your hair & scalp in winter

Jill Lee, a hairstylist of 25 years, qualified as a trichologist with USTI over a year ago.
Trichologists are not very commonly known in America, and she loves being able to help her clients on a deeper level.

Jill tells all on how winter can have an impact on the hair  & scalp - what does it need?
We discuss how you might want to change or add to your product range to help to give moisture and nourish the hair. Is winter shedding real or a myth?

We also look at the different scalp conditions, such as seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff and dry scalp- how do we tell the difference?
Jill states that scaly conditions not properly looked after can become breeding grounds for fungus and yeast, and the practices that can make these worse. We look at cleansing and exfoliating the scalp as well as the face and skin.

What do you need to add or include in your hair & scalp care regimen to get the best from your hair this season?

Dermatologist Dr David Reid joins Ask Dr Jessica to talk about common skin conditions that are chronic (stay around for a long time), like dandruff, Keratosis Pilaris and Moles.   Dr Reid explains the best treatment options for dandruff--like using selenium sulfide, Ketaconazole, or zinc pyrithione (or a combination thereof). He also gives tips on how to treat keratosis pilaris -- a common, harmless skin condition that causes dry, tiny bumps found often on the upper arms, thighs and cheeks.  And lastly, we talk about moles!  He gives a great overview on what moles are, and signs when to see a dermatologist. 

Dr David Reid is currently the Chief of Dermatology at Rush Medical Center in Chicago.  He completed his medical school degree at Harvard Medical School and his dermatology residency at Northwestern University.   He has been well published and has lectured internationally.
