When it comes to seborrheic dermatitis, how you dry your hair matters. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

- Use the cool or low heat setting rather than the highest heat — hot air can dry out and irritate your scalp, potentially worsening symptoms

- Finish with a cool blast to help prevent sweating on the scalp
