Haircare Tips In Winter: Common wintertime hair problems like dryness, frizz, split ends and scalp irritation are usually caused by interior heating systems, low humidity and cold winds. These factors deplete the hair's natural moisture content, making it brittle and more prone to breakage. Also, the friction from heavy jackets, scarves and woollen hats can cause static, tangling and breakage.

Giving your hair the care it requires can help maintain its health and appeal and prevent long-term damage is necessary, especially in winter. The secret to having healthy hair in the winter is to modify your hair care regimen to meet your haircare needs. You can keep your hair nourished, hydrated and protected by adhering to a few easy yet powerful techniques mentioned below. 

Tips To Maintain Hair Health In Winter

Moisturisation

During the winter, it is important to do deep conditioning treatments on a regular basis. You should also use moisturising products that contain nourishing oils like coconut oil, shea butter or argan oil.

Less Heat Styling

To preserve your hair's health, try to limit the use of heat tools and when possible, let your hair air-dry naturally. If you need to use styling tools, always apply a heat protectant beforehand to form a protective barrier. 

Proper Headgear

To lessen the friction of your hair, choose hats made from soft materials like satin, silk or cotton. To further protect your hair, you can also wear a scarf made of silk or satin underneath a wool cap. 

Avoid Overwashing Hair

Since the cold air already dehydrates your hair, over-washing can exacerbate the problem. Instead, aim to wash your hair two to three times a week, depending on your hair type.

Regular Trims

While it may seem counterproductive, trimming your hair regularly (every six to eight weeks) is important during the winter months. This helps eliminate split ends and damaged hair, preventing them from worsening and causing more significant breakage.
