The cities with the higher score are better for protecting your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-stockholm\">1. <strong>Stockholm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair quality score: 81\/100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While Stockholm didn\u2019t outperform other cities in a single metric we analysed, their total score was the highest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;The hair quality score for Stockholm sits at 66% above the average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stockholm takes the crown as the European city with the healthiest hair, which comes as no surprise given its world-renowned standards of living and wellness culture. Just as residents meticulously care for their iconic archipelago, they also prioritise hair care with dedication. Across the cities analysed, the average number of hairdressers was 62 within 5km of the city centre. Despite the data revealing that Stockholm had half of that at 32, their air quality score far outweighed others within the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city\u2019s air quality, free from heavy pollution, creates an ideal environment for hair to thrive, while balanced pH levels in the water supply heavily impact the hair\u2019s cuticle health, strength, and overall scalp health. Humidity levels in Stockholm are also optimal, preventing the frizz and dryness that often plague other climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-dublin\">2. <strong>Dublin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair quality score: 74\/100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dublin scores second highest overall for the number of hairdressers available in the city<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hair quality score for Dublin sits at 51% above the average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dublin claims second place among Europe\u2019s elite for the healthiest hair, thanks to its harmonious blend of environmental and lifestyle factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humidity levels throughout Dublin were in line with the overall average across the cities analysed, striking the perfect balance, preventing both frizz and excessive dryness, and allowing hair to maintain its natural moisture and shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boasting the second-highest result overall for the number of hairdressers available in the city, Dublin has a huge 298 hairdressing facilities within 5km of the city centre ensuring residents have access to expert hair care and personalised treatments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-oslo\">3. <strong>Oslo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair quality score: 73\/100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oslo performed best when we were measuring the pH levels of water in the city<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hair quality score for Oslo sits at 49% above the average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Placing third in the study is Oslo, Norway. The city boasts the best pH levels in its water supply out of all the cities analysed, perfectly aligned with hair\u2019s natural acidity, which helps to ensure that cuticles remain smooth and resilient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oslo also ranked highly when it came to air quality, with PM2.5 levels 70% below the average across the cities analysed. PM2.5 can settle on the scalp, leading to irritation and potentially clogging hair follicles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite having one of the lowest results for the number of hairdressers with just 9 within walking distance of the centre, Oslo still ranks within the top 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-edinburgh\">4. <strong>Edinburgh<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair quality score: 69\/100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edinburgh\u2019s score comes in the same as 5th place Geneva but scores higher pH levels, air quality and hairdressers in the area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hair quality score for Edinburgh sits at 41% above the average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Securing a commendable spot in the rankings is Edinburgh, Scotland. Tying with Geneva for fifth place, Edinburgh distinguishes itself with better pH levels in the city\u2019s water supply. Edinburgh also had one of the lowest scores for humidity throughout the study, second only to Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city\u2019s commitment to clean air is also a factor, with PM2.5 levels well below the average. Edinburgh has a total of 203 hairdressers close to the city centre, ensuring residents have ample access to professional hair care. Overall, Edinburgh\u2019s hair quality score sits at 41% higher than the study&#8217;s average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-geneva\">5. <strong>Geneva<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair quality score: 69\/100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geneva\u2019s score comes in the same as 4th place Edinburgh and while underperforming in comparison has a very high score for humidity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hair quality score for Geneva sits at 41% above the average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geneva, Switzerland, secures 5th place in the top rankings with a notable hair quality score of 69\/100, matching that of fourth-place Edinburgh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite having the highest PM2.5 levels among the top five cities analysed, which can lead to scalp irritation and potential hair follicle damage, Geneva stands out amongst these cities for their hair care infrastructure, and commitment to environmental stewardship ensures that residents have access to top-tier hair care solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-cities-in-europe-with-the-unhealthiest-hair\">What Are The Cities In Europe With The Unhealthiest Hair?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/which_european_cities_have_the_unhealthiest_hair.png\" alt=\"Infographic showing the European cities that have the unhealthiest hair. \" class=\"wp-image-88998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/which_european_cities_have_the_unhealthiest_hair.png 720w, https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/which_european_cities_have_the_unhealthiest_hair-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-venice\">1. <strong>Venice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair quality score: 19\/100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Venice saw the highest levels of pH, indicating a prevalence of hard water&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hair quality score for Venice sits at 61% below the average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Venice, Italy, ranks at the bottom of the study, making it the least favourable city for hair health. The city had the highest pH levels in its water supply, which typically indicates hard water and can lead to mineral buildup and potential hair damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Venice also faces challenges with its air quality, ranking second lowest among the cities analysed. A limited number of hairdressing facilities also impacted the city\u2019s score, with just 11 in the area, making it less accessible for residents seeking professional hair care services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-krakow\">2. <strong>Krakow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair quality score: 22\/100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Krakow saw the highest PM2.5 score of all the cities analysed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hair quality score for Krakow sits at 55% below the average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite having the same number of hairdressing facilities as Venice, with just 11 in the area, Krakow, Poland, faces significant challenges with its air quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city gained global attention when it was <a href=\"https:\/\/notesfrompoland.com\/2023\/12\/07\/polish-city-records-worlds-second-highest-air-pollution-as-winter-smog-sets-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recorded<\/a> as having the second-highest levels of air pollution in the world in December 2023. This severe air pollution, often exceeding safe limits for pollutants such as PM2.5, poses a serious risk to scalp health, potentially leading to irritation, inflammation, and damage to hair follicles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one of two Polish cities in the bottom 10 of the study, Krakow&#8217;s environmental conditions cement its place as one of the European cities with the unhealthiest hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-warsaw\">3. <strong>Warsaw<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair quality score: 24\/100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warsaw&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hair quality score for Warsaw sits at 51% below the average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warsaw, Poland, is also positioned in the lower rankings of the study, highlighting the difficulties the city encounters in preserving hair health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite having 20 salons, almost twice as many as Krakow, the city sees elevated humidity levels, resulting in frizz and moisture imbalances that could impact overall hair health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Warsaw received a better score for air quality, the city still wrestles with substantial air pollution problems that can impact scalp health and contribute to hair damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The contrast between European cities with the healthiest and unhealthiest hair highlights the significant influence of both environmental and lifestyle factors on personal well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-methodology\">Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We analysed the following sources for the most popular tourist destinations across several European nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Hardness\/Softness of water &#8211; <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/zenodo.org\/records\/4139912\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>https:\/\/zenodo.org\/records\/4139912<\/em><\/a><em> &#8211; low pH levels often indicate soft water<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Air quality (PM2. 5 levels) &#8211; WHO Data &#8211; <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>https:\/\/www.who.int\/data<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Humidity &#8211; taken from July (holiday season) <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/weather-and-climate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>https:\/\/weather-and-climate.com\/<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Number of hairdressers per city &#8211; (5km from centre of city) <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>https:\/\/www.yelp.co.uk\/<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-elh-faq-list faq-list\" style=\"--faq-chevron-down-icon: url(&#039;https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/elithair-master\/src\/dist\/images\/icons\/chevron-down.svg&#039;);\">\n\t<div class=\"faq-list__container container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"faq-list__header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-list__items\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>Will moving to a city with \u201chealthier hair metrics\u201d guarantee my hair stays full?<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No. Move may help by reducing environmental stressors, but your genetics, hormones, age and hair-care regimen still matter most.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>I live in a low-scoring city for hair health \u2014 does that mean I\u2019m doomed?<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Absolutely not.
