Greetings everyone,
In winter, not only the skin, but hair also tends to lose moisture that leads to dryness and frizziness. The dryness always results in split ends and breakage. And, if you are already having dry hair, then winter only makes it worse. Hence, it is quite necessary to keep your hair nourished to prevent them from any further damage. Thus, to nourish your dry hair in winter, here are a few tips. Let’s get into the details.
1. Wash Less and Condition More:
The moisture that is already lost is accelerated, when you shampoo your manes frequently. To avoid moisture loss, wash them less. The chemicals present in the shampoo strip off the hair and scalp from natural oil, making them dry and brittle. Also, always remember to condition your hair afterwards. Conditioning is important when you have dry hair. Moreover, try to opt for sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner for your dry hair in winter. Sulfate present in the shampoo is known to strip off the scalp and hair from its natural oils, making them rough, frizzy and dry. The natural oils and ingredients present in the sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner provide adequate nourishment and hydration to them.
Product Recommendation:
Organix thick and full biotin and collagen shampoo
L’Oreal evercreme sulfate-free moisture system nourishing shampoo
The body shop rainforest shine conditioner
Macadamia natural oil moisturizing rinse
2. Deep Conditioning Treatment Once in a Week:
Aside from frizziness, dry hair also leads to a very rough hair texture as well. To combat the dryness and to improve the hair texture, it is very necessary to provide your hair with a weekly nourishing treatment. To treat your hair weekly with the punch of hydration and nourishment, a deep conditioning treatment is must. Deep conditioning treatment works to replenish the moisture and provides nourishment to the hair. With all the nourishment, it improves the texture of the hair and prevents them from further damages.

3. A Hydrating Hair serum:
A hair serum works by forming a coating over the hair strands, preventing the moisture loss and providing nourishment at the same time. It makes the hair nourished, softer, smoother, lustrous and healthy-looking. A few serums are capable of protecting your hair from sun exposure as well. If chosen a right formula, then a serum can make your hair hydrated without weighing them down. You can check out the list of best serums available in India here.
4. Oil Treatment Once in a Week:
The lack of moisture in winter dries out the scalp, making hair dry and frizzy. To prevent it from happening, oil treatment is one of the best ways. The efficacy of coconut oil, argan oil, olive oil and almond oil is at their best when it comes to nourish and strengthen the hair, making them healthy and lustrous. These oils have the capacity of penetrating deep into the cuticles and nourish them deeply. Hence, oil treatment is quite an effective treatment when you are having dry hair in winter. To use, warm appropriate amount of oil and massage from scalp to the tips of hair. You can use a combination of oils as well. Also, adding any essential oil in the warm oil will be a good option for relaxing your scalp. Wear a shower cap and leave it for at least 30 minutes. Later, follow up with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.
5. Avocado and Yogurt Hair Mask:
The nutrients present in yogurt and avocado help in nourishing the dry hair. The fatty acids in avocado intensely moisturize the hair. This hair mask is perfect to be used in winter. To prepare avocado hair mask, mash an appropriate amount of avocado and add yogurt to make a smooth paste. Apply the hair mask throughout the length of your hair, focusing on tips. If you have an oily scalp, then spare it from the application. Leave it for at least 30 minutes and later, rinse it off.
6. A Good Hair Brush to Rescue:
This is an old, good hair care tip. You might notice your hair being dry and scalp oily. However, when you use a hair brush, it helps in conditioning them. It stimulates the scalp and distributes the scalp’s natural oil throughout the hair length. It makes your hair locks nourished and softer, making them manageable. Not to mention, brushing your hair is somewhat like dry shampooing it. A good hair brush can provide your hair and scalp with such cleansing effect. However, not all hair brushes have the same effect because of the different bristle’s material. Thus, always keep in mind to choose for a right hair brush to avoid further dryness and frizziness.
7. Eat Omega-3s:
As we already know that these healthy fatty acids should be incorporated in the diet. Having omega 3 in your diet plays a crucial role in keeping you healthy. However, the benefits of having omega 3 are extended towards skin and hair as well. If you are experiencing dry hair, have omega 3 rich diet or supplements to keep it nourished and healthy. Moreover, omega 3 fatty acids strengthen the hair follicles and promote the growth of healthy hair. With all the proper nutrition, you will be having softer, lustrous and healthy hair.
8. DIY Egg Shampoo:
Eggs are rich in protein and provide a lot of nourishment to the hair and scalp. If you are having dry hair issues in the winter, then try using egg for it. Dry hair is often prone to brittle and breakage. The protein present in the egg will nourish the dry hair, making it smoother and healthy-looking. To make egg shampoo, take an egg and add an adequate amount of your favourite shampoo to it. Whip up the mixture properly and, your egg shampoo is all ready to use.
9. Shea Butter Remedy:
Have you ever tried using shea butter for gorgeously, nourished locks? You must try it out. With vitamin A and E, shea butter makes an excellent natural hair conditioning agent. Along with vitamins, shea butter is a rich source of fatty acids and minerals that provide adequate nourishment to the dry hair. The application of shea butter tames the frizzy hair and hydrates the dry locks. If you want more, shea butter also helps in combating dandruff and relieves the scalp from itching or inflammation. To use shea butter for hair, comb it through your hair and leave it for an hour. Later, follow up with shampoo. To use shea butter for the scalp, massage shea butter over the scalp in circular motions and leave for an hour. Later, follow up with a shampoo.
