Can a hot shower lead to baldness? The truth they keep silent about## Translation note: I've provided a direct translation of the title/question as requested, maintaining the original structure and meaning.

British trichologist and hair transplant expert Wajid Ali Anwar warned that excessively hot showers can trigger hair loss, reports Daily Star.

According to the specialist, overheated water dries out the scalp, destroys its natural protective layer, and makes hair dry and brittle.

"Water that's too hot can cause inflammation of the scalp, strip it of natural oils, and make the hair cuticle rough. When the protective barrier is compromised and hair shafts are dehydrated, they become brittle, and temporary hair loss occurs - that 'sudden baldness' that patients often talk about," explained the doctor.

He noted that for people prone to hair thinning, exposure to high temperatures can exacerbate the problem.

Anwar advises choosing a warm shower with water temperature between 37 and 39 degrees. You can check for comfort by applying water to the inside of your wrist: if you feel a burning sensation, the temperature is too high for your scalp.

Additionally, the doctor recommends taking a short evening shower lasting about five minutes:

"This way you'll wash away sweat, dirt, and cosmetic residue before sleep, reducing irritation of hair follicles. And if you exercise in the morning - choose cool water and avoid aggressive scalp massage," added the specialist.
