Some basic tips that one must remember in winters care for hair


Winter time is the time to pull out your stylish woolen wear and scarves from your wardrobe, enjoy hot cups of tea or coffee, and indulge in healthy soups and pakoras, once in a while. But with winters also come some problems, one of them being dry and unmanageable hair. Winters also leave your scalp flaky and itchy. All this because the dry winter breeze takes away the moisture from your hair, leaving it brittle and making the scalp flake more easily, leading to dandruff. Conclusion: Your hair needs more attention during winters.

Here are some basic tips that one must remember in winters-
·         While covering your crown is a great way of protecting your hair from the harsh weather, keeping hair tied up all the time or wearing a tight-fitting cap can lead to over-activation of sebaceous glands, leading to oily scalp and hair. Using a head gear of good material and apt fit is essential.
·         It is natural to want to bathe with steaming hot water in winter; it is something one must strictly avoid. Hot water can lead to brittle hair and a dry and flaky scalp. Lukewarm water is the best option. Cold water, too, should be avoided as this can cause dry hair. 
·         Do not shampoo for hair loss your hair too often. Frequent shampooing can cause depletion of natural hair oils, which are necessary during this dry season.
·         Conditioning your hair is a must during winters. Oil massage (with coconut, almond, olive, jojoba, jaborandi or rosemary oil). Massaging increases blood circulation, leading to healthy hair. Shampooing followed by a deep conditioning mask, too, is a must, as this increases elasticity and strengthens the hair from roots. If you are someone who believes in home-made stuff, coconut milk is an excellent natural conditioner.
·         Dryers should be avoided, as far as possible. You already brittle and dry hair will only get worse after blow drying. And if there is an emergency, and you have to dry your hair quickly and also get that perfect look, use the cool setting on your dryer.
·         Treatments like straightening; perming, coloring  streaking, ironing, etc. should be strictly avoided, as they make the condition even worse.

Static hair can be really irritating. It is caused by the lack of moisture; so make sure your hair is well-hydrated. Also, keep in mind that you must use a natural, non-plastic bristled brush for combing. To avoid frizzy hair, do not comb your hair when wet.
