Keep your hair healthy in winters

Hair Fall is one of the biggest concerns many face during the winter season. Although winter is the favourite season of many, as they like to dress well in their favourite winter wear, this season can be harsh on the head of hair. Skin and hair are two things you need to take extra care of in this season. The hair and scalp become dry during the winter season, resulting in hair loss and dandruff. This can be disappointing and worrisome. However, worrying is not the solution. Here are some tips and tricks that are tried and tested to keep your hair healthy in winters.

A hat goes a long way

A hat can be effectively used in times of winter. You can protect your hair from the chilly winds of winter, which might harm the health of your hair. It can help you protect your hair from the dry air, snow, wind, etc., which steals the moisture from your hair. You can use silk or satin hats to prevent your hair from any damage. You can also use a light oil spray and rub it on the hair and the scalp before wearing the hat to retain the moisture in your hair and scalp.

Humidifiers to the rescue

Having a humidifier in the room can benefit in more ways than one. A humidifier helps in maintaining the moisture in the room/home you live in. In most regions during the winter season, the overall humidity drops. Dry weather is known to be detrimental to your hair and skin. Also, most households use indoor heaters to keep the rooms warm, which makes the air even drier. Hence, having a humidifier in the room/home goes a long way. 

Shower with lukewarm water

 Noting is more comforting than a hot shower on a cold day. However, hot water can strip your hair of moisture, making them brittle and causing them to break. That is why, while showering, use lukewarm water, which will not cause any damage to your hair and not cause any discomfort either.

Say no to heat styling

It is known that blow-drying or using heat irons on your hair is detrimental to the health of your hair in the long run as it steals the hair of its natural moisture from your hair and scalp. Avoid heat styling in the winter season as the weather is already dry, and resorting to drying your hair with heat will only worsen. Keep the use of hair irons, curlers that use heat to the minimum during the winter season. Although it is unreal to completely avoid hair styling equipment, using them when absolutely necessary could ensure that your hair stays healthy.

No to wet hair

We often see people not oiling their hair for several reasons, some of them being associated with the stigma that oil could shut skin pores or make the scalp oily, or might look tacky etc. However, considering that the winter weather is dry, it becomes rather crucial to maintain the moisture in your hair and scalp, making oil treatments necessary. You can use oil treatments, conditioners to protect your hair from the harsh and dry winds of winter.

A hair mask is a big yes
