Get Hair That Everyone Will Fall In Love With This Winter!

1
Wake up in the morning and open your curtains to
a foggy, misty morning there is a chill in the
air and the time to start bundling up is here -
winters are here! And while there are plenty of
things to love about the winters - steaming cups
of tea, warm bowls of soup and an abundance of
fruits and vegetables, this also the time when
you need to take a little extra care of your hair
and skin. The winter season can prove to be quite
brutal and is often the time when you lose a lot
of hair, mainly because you are not taking proper
care of it. Here are some of the things that you
need to keep in mind during the winters, to
ensure that you have hair that everyone will fall
in love with! Wash only when needed - The hair
and scalp have oil - in oily hair there is an
excess, in dry hair there is less than what is
needed. But every time you wash your hair with
shampoo, you are washing away all the natural
oils on your scalp, leaving your hair dry and
brittle. During the winters, it is essential that
you wash your hair only once or twice a week and
preferably with a shampoo that is paraben and
SLS/SLES free. Olive oil or coconut oil - It
doesn't matter whether you choose the luxurious
jojoba oil, the exquisite extra virgin olive oil
or the ever trusty coconut oil - you need to make
sure that you oil your hair, before every shampoo
session. If you are in the mood to pamper your
hair, you could even add a few drops of an
essential oil like rosemary, which is good for
hair. Alternately, you could look at ayurvedic
oils with the goodness of brahmi, bhringaraj,
amla and other herbs. Whichever oil you choose,
make sure to warm it up a little and then massage
it into the scalp and the length of the hair.
Allow the oil to nourish your hair for a minimum
of 30 minutes, before washing it off. Condition
first, wash second - Many people tend to wash
their hair with shampoo first and then condition.
However, if you go to any good hair skin clinic
, chances are that they will tell you to do it
the other way around. When you condition after
shampooing, there is a chance that all the
conditioner might not get washed away this can
lead to dirt and grime to get stuck to those
conditioner particles, leading to hair damage.
However, if you apply conditioner first and the
let the nourishment soak in, the shampoo will
wash all the excess away, leaving your hair
feeling healthy and soft! Hot water or lukewarm?
- While it might feel great to stand under a hot
water shower on a cold winter morning, your hair
might not feel that great. Have you ever wondered
why you use hot water to wash oily dishes -
because hot water will remove the traces of oil
faster and more effectively. So naturally, when
you pour hot water on your hair, all natural oils
will get washed off, making your hair dry and
brittle, while also making your scalp dry and
prone to flakes. No matter what the season, it is
best that you stick to lukewarm water for your
hair. Hide those styling tools - Winters are that
time of the year, when your hair is already
feeling very delicate so when you use harsh
chemicals or styling tools that use extreme heat,
you are exposing them to more prospective damage.
So, just for the winter months, keep those
styling tools and styling products away and use
them only when you really need them. Pamper your
hair - This is also the season to pamper your
hair - whether you want to massage your hair with
some warm oil or go all out for a proper hair
spa, go ahead and do it. You can use a hair serum
or even an overnight oil to ensure that your hair
gets the moisture it needs. Based
2
on your hair type, you can also look at hair
masks, made with aloe vera, yoghurt or egg, as
these can provide deep hydration. Finally, as is
the case with any season, make sure that you
drink plenty of water and eat sufficient amounts
of fruits and vegetables, as these will provide
the nourishment required, from within.
