During winter most people experience dry scalp and hair which results in dandruff. Some may also experience hair fall. With the change in weather, you need to make necessary changes in your hair care routine as well.

For perfect hair this winter you need to follow few simple steps. There are not too many hard to follow steps but simple changes that can work wonders. Do not let the harsh weather take a toll on your hair health. Here are some winter care tips for flawless hair this winter.

1. Keep Your Home Warm but NOT Hot  

Make sure you don’t get a temperature shock when you get home or when you’re going out. If the temperature inside your house or apartment is much warmer than outside it can irritate your skin and scalp.

2. Turn the Hot Water Down

A really hot shower feels so good on a cold-weather day. BUT if you want to care for your scalp, you should turn the temperature of your shower down. Hot water is neither good for your skin or your hair.

Hot water dehydrates your skin and hair. It’s actually like cooking the moisture out of your skin.

3. Wash Your Hair to a Minimum

In winter it’s recommended that you wash your hair minimum. In the cold weather season we found, that if you’re shampooing your hair two or three times a week, you can prevent your hair from drying out too much.

4. Oil Your Hair

In the winter season, your scalp will be drier and that can lead to dandruff and scalp irritation, which in the worst-case scenario can lead to hair fall.

It’s really important to keep your scalp moisturized. It’s important that do oil your hair regularly, really don’t forget the oil your hair needs.

Use olive or coconut oil, massage it into your scalp and leave it in for 20 minutes, and finally, rinse it out with shampoo and conditioner.

5.Use Conditioner for Hair

Conditioner is a must! We’ve said it before; conditioning your hair after shampooing should be an important part of your hair routine.

During winter we recommend you to use a deep conditioner plus a leave-in treatment, especially for those who are living up North India.

6. Dry Your Hair Correctly

When it comes to drying your hair, you should really treat your hair with care.Even though a blow dryer is the best tool if you want to style your hair to perfection, it can also be really harmful to your hair as the heat can dry out your hair and scalp.

7. Eat Balanced & Stay Hydrated

Eating a healthy diet full of vitamins is the best way to keep your hair and scalp looking and feeling healthy. Also, make sure you drink plenty of water to keep your hair and scalp hydrated.
