Winter brings a special regimen for your hair. While in the summer months, you feel free to wash the sweat and dirt off your hair on a regular basis, you can’t do the same in winter. The dry and harsh weather of the winter months can make your hair look straw like, strip moisture out of it, cause frizz, and also lead to hair fall. The following are some hair care tips for winter –
Use Deep Conditioning Treatments – You must use a deep conditioning treatment on your hair once a week. For people with extremely dry and brittle hair, this is an absolute must. Make sure the treatment you choose contains Shea butter, coconut oil, Moroccan oil, castor oil, olive oil, and other hair replenishing nutrients.
Follow No-Poo Method or Co-Washing – This is a favorite of curly haired girls and for winter, it can be used by straight haired people too. Basically, you do not use any shampoo to wash your hair but, instead, you invest in a good cleansing conditioner which has only the mildest cleansing agents. This keeps the natural moisture and oils in your hair, and doesn’t allow your hair to fall too much. However, make sure you use a clarifying shampoo every couple of weeks to remove product buildup.
Don’t Wash Hair Too Much – Another important thing, especially if you are not going to follow the co-wash method, is to avoid shampooing too much. Also, just focus the shampoo on the scalp, not the ends of your hair. Use a hair-dryer to dry your hair properly before you go out. Also, make sure you either have the dryer on cold setting or use a heat protectant spray on your hair before using any heat tools.
Regular Trimming – Particularly in the winter months, you will see your hair developing more split ends than ever. To keep your hair healthy looking, make sure you get a trim every 6 weeks or so. If you are growing your hair out, visit a trusted hair stylist and tell them to trim just the bare minimum of hair. Getting regular trims would ensure that you don’t cut more than 2 mm of hair, as compared to 1-2 inches.
