The arrival of winter brings with it dryness and hair fall. Low temperatures and cold weather affect the texture and look of the hair. Many people experience an excess of dandruff which leads to hair fall in winters. Not only this, it also makes the hair lifeless and shiny. With a drop in temperature, your hair can stop absorbing or retaining enough moisture and therefore become weak, brittle and brittle. To avoid all these problems and maintain the health of your hair, you need to take a little extra care and make little changes in your lifestyle. While there are ample shampoos, conditioners and other hair care products available in the market, home remedies and dietary changes are best for long term hair health. Here are some easy tips that you can incorporate into your lifestyle and make your hair healthy and shiny.
Regular oiling:
Applying a good amount of argan oil, olive oil or coconut oil to the hair nourishes the hair and removes dryness. It is recommended to use lukewarm oil at least an hour before washing your hair.
Go chemical free:
The hair care products available in the market boast of many benefits, however, you cannot deny that they all contain harmful chemicals that can damage your hair. However, you can use sulfate and paraben-free products to avoid chemicals. Look for oil based conditioners or shampoos during winters. Also, avoid excessive hair coloring or any other hair treatment containing harmful chemicals in cold weather.
Avoid bathing with hot water:
Wash your hair with lukewarm water instead of warm water, however, a cold shower works best as it closes the cuticles and hence retains moisture.
Avoid Heat Styling:
Heat stylers like blow dryers, curlers, straighteners eventually dry out your hair every time you use them. Blow-drying your hair after a shower is just as harmful as heat styling, instead wrap and dry your hair to retain moisture and softness.
Avoid washing your hair every day:
Avoid washing your hair every day as shampoo also removes the sebum present in your hair, which makes hair shiny and manageable. It is recommended to wash your hair thrice a week.
Include omega-3s and antioxidants in your diet:
Your diet affects the health of your hair as well, so include antioxidants like omega-3s and marine proteins to keep your hair from thinning. Include salmon, oysters, sardines, tuna, walnuts, broccoli, blueberries, kidney beans, tomatoes in your diet to retain the nutrients.
Choose Homemade DIY Hair Mask:
A homemade hair mask can add shine and moisture to your hair and is also budget-friendly. Mix yogurt and a few drops of olive or coconut oil and apply it 20 minutes before washing your hair. Apply once or twice a week.
