Ten Smart Winter Hair Care Tips
Taking care of hair is very important in the winter season. In this season, there should not be any hesitation in hair care. Doing so has an adverse effect on the health of the hair.
- Comb Your Hair Carefully: It is common for hair to get tangled in winter and therefore combing it harshly can damage the scalp and hair. It is advisable that you use a wide-tooth comb to brush your hair and gently comb it from the middle of your hair length and work it downwards to reduce the strain on your scalp. This will minimise hair breakage.
- Nourish Your Hair By Oiling Them: It is essential that you moisturise and massage your hair with good hair oil and coconut oil and olive oils can work wonders. You can add neem leaves, curry leaves and Indian gooseberry (amla) too in it. Mixing aloe vera gel in amla juice and applying it to the roots of the hair makes the hair strong and shiny well. Oils penetrate the hair shaft and massage will improve blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.
- Apply Hair Packs: Hair packs make the hair look alive so a natural hair pack will work wonders for your hair in winter. To make a simple hair pack add- olive oil (10 tsp), milk (4 tsp), beetroot paste (1 tsp), honey (1 tsp), lemons (2 tsp), curd (1 tsp) and eggs (2). Gently massage your hair while applying this paste to it and keep it for 2 hours. Then rinse it well with a mild shampoo and lukewarm water. Not only it will remove dandruff, but it will also make your hair extremely soft and silky.
To prevent hair fall, add a little olive oil to egg whites and massage it gently once a week and wash with a mild shampoo. It will strengthen the roots and counter hair fall.
- Change The Way You Wash Your Hair: Always remember that hair needs natural oils and therefore, washing it too frequently or washing it once a week won't work. Make it twice a week and use a mild shampoo so that it doesn't strip your hair of natural oils. This will counter dirt accumulation on your scalp and keep it clean as well.
- Avoid Hot Water Showers: It is hard to resist hot water showers in winter but it also strips your hair of natural oils and moisture making it dry and lifeless. It can further result in flakiness and will make your scalp dry. It is essential that you wash your hair in lukewarm water and blast it with cold water at the ends. This will help you to seal the hair cuticles.
- Conditioning Your Hair The Right Way: Split ends can be a nightmare in the winters and therefore apart from trimming your hair, you need to condition it as well. Never skip a thick, creamy conditioner in winter. Check if it contains coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil or shea butter as they will keep your hair hydrated and happy.
- Avoid Vigorously Rubbing Your Hair With A Towel: Washing and drying your hair itself can be a mammoth task but you need to do more because it's winter. Because of the cold, leaving your hair wet for long will result in breakage because the hair shaft will expand. Similarly vigorously rubbing your hair with a towel is not advised. Add a microfibre towel to your hair care routine. Use air or a fan to dry your hair before stepping out.
- Avoid Heat Styling Tools: In winter hair becomes delicate and using heat styling tools can further damage it by making it brittle, which will eventually result in hair breakage. Therefore, dry your hair naturally and avoid blow-drying as much as possible. If you abide by this, your hair will be able to retain its natural texture and moisture.
- Wear A Hat Or Scarf: Pollution and dust particles can cause huge damage to your hair and make it dry and lifeless. Therefore, it is essential that you cover your hair with a hat or a scarf while stepping out of your home.
- Healthy Diet For Healthy Hair: Protein-rich foods are healthy for hair and therefore, eating healthy is essential if you want your hair to be healthy. Add vitamin-rich food to your diet as well such as eggs, pumpkins, berries, carrots, beetroots, etc. Also, dairy products, leafy greens, lean protein (meat), omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for your hair and body health.
