Winter brings with it all kinds
of skin and hair problems. It can cause dry flaky scalp and limp and lifeless
hair.
The harsh winter cold can make
your hair brittle and prone to split ends and damage. It also causes frizz and
static. All this can wreak havoc on your hair unless you have a proper hair
care routine in place.
Let us take a look at how you can
take care of your hair this winter.
Cover
Your Hair When You Go Outside:
Good idea to carry a scarf or cap
so that you are always prepared. But ensure that there is breathing room for
your hair. Avoid tight caps and hats and lightly cover your hair with a scarf.
Keep
Your Hair Clean
In winters we are tempted to
delay washing your hair because of the biting cold. But remember that when you
cover your head, the sweat from your scalp can make your hair dirty and clog
your hair follicles. It can make your hair look dull and lifeless.
The smog and dust make matters
worse. So always maintain your regular shampoo routine and wash your hair at
least twice a week.
Also, never ever leave the house
with wet hair. The pollutants and dust will settle on your wet hair and make it
dirty immediately.
Dry your hair dryer if you don’t
have one and always blow dry your hair before stepping out.
Use warm
water when shampooing:
Very hot water can damage your
hair and cause it to break and fall. It is also bad for your scalp. Therefore,
it is always better to use warm water for a head bath. This will prevent
unnecessary damage.
Drink A
Lot Of Water
Hydration is important in winter
too. In fact, it is more important during this time of the year because you may
actually drink less water than what you require. And the result is dehydration,
which also reflects on your scalp and hair. You may start exhibiting a flaky
scalp or brittle hair. Dandruff may also become a problem. So, be sure to drink
lots of water.
Oil Your
Hair Regularly
Your hair needs moisturising too.
Use a good oil for regular head massages.
Coconut oil is a good choice.
This will keep your hair soft and silky through the long winter months. If you
do this regularly, you will hardly see any hair damage or hair fall this cold
season.
