A word about scarves
Another thing to take into consideration in regards to the cold, bitter air, and our hair and skin is the scarf materials that we wear. Some scarves are made from 100% wool, which can damage the hair as it continues to rub against the hair follicles. It can entangle and pull the hair out. It is best to switch up on your scarves and hats of this material to give your hair a breather. There are also some scarf materials that can cause ones face to break out into a rash from the perfumes and dyes. It is suggested to rub the scarf on the inside of the wrist once and wait five to ten minutes before purchasing to make sure that there is no allergic reactions to the scarfs materials. If by chance you have a favorite scarf that feels itchy, wear it on the outside of your coat therefore not touching your skin.
