5 tips for healthy hair in winters

Your hair requires extra care during winters as the cold weather can result in scaly scalp and hair loss. Here are 5 useful tips for healthy hair during winters.

Oil massage

Massaging your scalp using natural oils such as coconut oil or almond oil can be effective in stimulating hair follicles and boosting hair growth. It can help increase the blood circulation towards your scalp and reduce hair loss.

Avoid hot water showers

Washing your hair using hot water during winters is not recommended as it can lead to hair breakage and hair thinning. Instead, you can wash your hair using lukewarm water or normal water.

Avoid blow-drying

Blow-drying your hair can result in split ends and hair loss. Instead, use a towel and let the hair dry on its own naturally.

Use a humidifier

Your hair can lose its moisture in the winter season as the air tends to be cold and dry. Use a humidifier to add moisture to the environment and keep your hair nourished. 

Avoid leaving house with wet hair

The cold wind outside your house during winters can weaken wet hair and lead to hair loss. It is best to dry your hair before leaving the house.
