Hair is our crowning glory and it needs our proper attention, whether it is winter or summer.
In winter, due to cold weather, if we don’t look after your hair, it tends to become dry and brittle. We need to follow some rules. We need to keep it clean! Ofcourse, you don’t sweat that much during winter as you do during summer.
For a healthy hair, you have to start with the food you eat.You must add lots of fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables including spinach and Vit-B rich food in your diet.
You should also exercise regularly. Exercise helps increase open up sebacious glands throughout our body, which helps get rid of toxins.This increases the hair texture and vitality.
Drinking atleast 8 glasses of water everyday is a must.Also don’t forget to drink atleast one glass of milk everyday.
During winter, the scalp gets dried along with hair. To keep the scalp moisturised, you must oil regularly with olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil.You can massage warmed olive or almond oil into the scalp and hair and leave it for about an hour. Then you can wash it off with a good shampoo and conditioner.
The same treatment, you can give your hair longer time too! This time what you do is, dip a cotton towel in hot water, squeeze it and tie it around your head.This will help the blood circulation in head part.After 2 hours, you can have your head bath to wash off the oil from your scalp.
If you are not comfortable with applying oil to your scalp, you can try yoghurt.Yoghurt is a very good moisturiser.Apply it on your scalp, and wash it off, after sometime.
Egg-white is also good.I use egg white very often.It is cooling to your scalp, doesn’t allow your scalp to get dry and also is good for hair growth.
In India, you get gingelly oil, which is very good to apply before head bath.I used it in India and recommend it for applying on scalp before taking your head bath.
There is a good herbal treatment also to take care of your hair during winter.What you need is fresh fenugreek leaves.(methi) Grind the leaves and apply on your scalp and wash it after leaving for an hour.
Fresh coconut paste is also good for the hair to apply before washing.The coconut oil in it moisturises the scalp.It also has a cooling effect.
You can use Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner for washing the hair. They are good for both oily and dry hair.Otherwise, you can prefer to choose your own.
During winter, it is better to use mousse, rather than gels and hair spray.Because, gels& hair spray tend to make the hair dry & stiff!Take a small amount of mousse with your finger tips and rub through the hair.Then, you can comb to a style to suit your face.
Take care of your hair at all times, not only in winter.Hair is the most prominent part of your face and you will feel good if your hair looks good!
