Tips for Hair Care in cold season

Hair CareDry ? Chapped lips? Static in your clothes? Welcome to winter. Yes, while the winter means Christmas trees and cuddling around in our woolies, it also wreaks havoc on our and means we have to really lay on the lotion. But while most of us tend to pay attention to our in winter, what about our hair?

The cold air of winter is more drying and less humid and therefore more abusive than other times of the year. Indoor heating devices create a dryer climate as well. As we spend less time in the sun, the natural highlights nature paints into our hair become less noticeable and hair loses its healthy shimmering look.

Here are a few to keep your hair in shape in the winter.

1. WASHING
In general, hair requires only a limited amount of washing, just enough to cleanse your hair of dirt. In winter you should be extra careful so that your natural hair oils are not depleted due to excessive washing.

2. MOISTURISE
Add moisture to your hair. Apply Jaborandi hair oil three times a week. Its important that the oil remains overnight in winters.
In winter, the thirst is less as a result of which the water intake reduces. Ensure, a minimum intake of 10-12 glasses of water.

3. CONDITIONING
For healthy hair, a normal conditioner should suffice or for the last rinse, coconut milk can be used.
Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair and needs special attention in winter to prevent frizziness and split ends. If you have curly hair, don’t rinse out all your conditioner, or reapply a very light coat after towel-drying.
Even if you have oily hair, you should apply a conditioner to the ends to help keep hair healthy and prevent frizziness and flyaway. Remember Hair Oil is the only hair and scalp conditioner in the world.

4. REDUCE STATIC
Hair static is caused by a lack of hair moisture. Brush with natural and not plastic bristles. Or you could get a sheet of fabric softener and wipe across your hair. It helps control frizz too.

5. HAIR BREAKAGE
Lack of all the above mentioned, can lead in winter to dry brittle hair and hair breakage. If inspite of taking adequate care, hair breakage still persists, do visit your trichologist.

6. DO’S & DON’TS
Do not keep your hair wet
Do not brush your hair when it is wet
Towel dry your hair
Reduce your alcohol intake.
Winter is a good season to eat lot of healthy hair foods like, dates, methi, spinach, walnuts and bajra.

7. TRICHOLOGY
Last but not least, do not forget your trichologist, who is there to help you with all your hair woes. If you find that your hair looks especially shabby, do not hesitate to make an appointment before your problem goes beyond mere seasonal blues.
