Ditching booze for Dry January? Here's what a month off alcohol will do to your hair
After all the indulgences of the festive season, many people partake in Dry January, cutting out alcohol for the month – or even longer – to help their bodies recover and reset. Studies have noted physical and mental benefits such as better sleep, weight loss and reducing blood pressure from a few weeks off the booze.
*Dehydration It’s no secret that drinking alcohol makes you dehydrated – but this can do more than just give you a fuzzy-mouth feeling the next morning. “A lack of body fluid can cause your hair to become dry and brittle, and make it prone to damage,” explains Dr Vida. *Emotional stress Drinking can also have an impact on your mental state , and this can in turn affect your hair. “Stress and changes in mood can trigger hormonal imbalances and increase the number of hair follicles entering the resting stage of the hair growth cycle,” says Dr Vida. “This can lead to thinning hair and hair loss.”
