How to take care of Hair in Winter?

Follow the tips suggested by our top dermatologist in Secunderabad to have healthy hair during winter:

Covering your head with a hat or a scarf

Wear your hat and scarf to cover your hair during winter. Use a silk or satin scarf to cover your hair and layer it with cotton or woolen fabrics to avoid the cold air.

When you cover your hair with cotton or woolen fabrics, it causes friction and leads to breakage and split ends. So using silk or satin is your best bet.

Use less shampoo

Using too much shampoo can cause dry and flaky scalp, especially in winter. The shampoo's contents remove natural oils from your scalp. Your hair becomes dry.

The chemicals irritate your skin, progressing to itchiness.Reduce shampoo's use and use gentle methods. Avoid purchasing shampoos that contain ingredients like alcohols, dyes, fragrances, and sulfates. These ingredients can make your hair very dry.

Fight the flakes

You may notice white or yellowish flakes over your scalp that may fall on your shoulders in winter. It is dandruff and is normal in the winter season. Dandruff occurs due to a dry scalp or fungal infection in winter.

Try using an anti-dandruff shampoo with active contents like salicylic acid, selenium, sulfide, zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, or coal tar.

Deep condition to control frizz

The dry air during winter extracts your hair's moisture and open up the hair cuticle. It progresses to frizzy hair that is rough, dry, and unmanageable. Use conditioners to avoid frizzy and rough hair. Conditioners moisturize your hair and make them look smooth and healthy even in winter.

Reduce usage of heat styling products

The heat from heat styling tools, like curlers, straighteners, and blow dryers, breaks your hair and causes split ends.

Decrease the use of such tools. Try a heat protectant serum if you wish to style. Give your hair a break from heat styling.

Use oil or serum

Winters can absorb your hair's water. Try an oil or serum overnight to see hydrated strands. Make sure you sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to avoid hair breakage.

You can select hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, green tea, and shea butter in your oils and serums. Use coconut oil, castor oil, olive oil, and almond oil for your hot oil massages.

Massage your hair one to two times a week with the carrier oils. This can improve blood flow and promote healthy hair.

A good hair care routine

Invest effort, time, and money in your hair care routine. People with beautiful hair have perfect hair care routines.

Try conditioners and shampoos that match your hair and those with gentler ingredients. Condition and wash your hair regularly. Apply hair masks, serums, and hot oil massages to add a hydration punch to your hair in winters.

Take warm water showers

Hot showers may be therapeutic. However, it has a detrimental effect on your hair. Hot water takes out your hair's natural oils, making it dry.

You must take lukewarm water for a calming shower during any month.

Drink plenty of water

One of the crucial components for your hair strands is water. It can refill the lost water content in the winter seasons; it is critical to keep yourself hydrated.

You need to drink an adequate amount of water in winter to keep your hair healthy and hydrated. Dandruff, dryness, and itchiness are taken care of once your scalp and hair are hydrated.
