Winter hair care: Follow these 5 tips to nourish your tresses and keep it healthy

Winter is coming and although we love the pleasant weather, it doesn’t spell great news for our hair! From dryness to hair breakage, winter brings with it a whole lot of problems, which is why it is important to exercise extra caution to stay protected.

Fret not! These five easy peasy tips can keep your mane nourished and healthy.

1. Do not wash hair frequently

If you’re someone who washes your hair every day or even alternate day, then you gotta drop this habit. Over-washing your hair, that too during winter, can strip the hair of its natural oil, and make it brittle and damaged. So, try reducing the frequency as much as you can to avoid any such situation.

2. Apply a hair mask at least once a week

If you want healthy locks, then you need to put in extra effort. Nourish your hair by applying a hydrating hair mask once a week. Masks penetrate deeper and can reverse the effects of dryness, so it is suggested that you do not skip this during winters. Brownie points? It not only protects and nourishes your hair but also makes it soft and manageable.

3. Wash hair with lukewarm water

We know washing your hair during winter is a real task, and no matter how tempted you are to use hot water, please spare your hair from all the damage. Hot water can zap all the moisture from your hair, making it frizzy and dry, and more vulnerable to breakage. Washing your hair with lukewarm water is the best thing to do.
