Winter Hair Care 101: Learn From Expert How to Maintain Hydrated and Healthy Tresses
Your hair suffers greatly over the winter because of the dry air and freezing weather. Here, expert offers insights and professional advice to save your hair from the damaging impacts of winter.

Your head loses all moisture in the winter, which can lead to problems with your scalp and hair. Problems including dandruff, an itchy scalp, and hair loss are caused by the dry atmosphere. Cristina, the creative director of Looks Salons in Mumbai, presents a comprehensive strategy to address these problems. Find out about salon treatments that will leave your hair soft, manageable, and vivid, as well as do-it-yourself cures like onion juice and honey and winter hair care essentials.

Wintertime dry air pulls all the moisture from your head, causing issues with your hair and scalp. The dry environment causes your scalp to dry out as well, which leads to dandruff and an itchy, odorous scalp. Hair loss can also occur in response to an increase in dandruff. Extremely low temperatures and prolonged indoor heating can cause your skin to become dry, sensitive, and occasionally even flakey. They can also dehydrate your hair and cause a variety of unfavourable hair issues, such as split ends, static frizz, and a tight, itchy scalp.

Dry scalp can be a pain…LITERALLY! Irritation, flakes, and inflammation are annoying symptoms, but when winter enters the picture, things get really complicated. Fortunately, by making a few small adjustments to your hair care regimen, symptoms can be controlled. You can prevent itching by using a scalp serum, scalp spray, or other calming therapy. Apply it following a wash, but prior to style, and repeat every day or as necessary. See a dermatologist for a thorough diagnosis and suitable treatment if symptoms are ongoing.

Onion juice and honey:

An excellent natural hair remedy is onion juice. It becomes a surprise hair care treatment to manage wintertime hair loss when combined with honey.

How to proceed: Take out one onion’s juice. To the onion juice, add two tablespoons of honey and one tablespoon of rosewater. Using a cotton swab, apply this mixture to your hair and let it sit for approximately forty-five minutes. Use lukewarm water to rinse your hair.

Winter hair care tips:

  1. Avoid using hair dryers as much as possible. It makes your hair even more dry.
  2. Always wrap your hair with a scarf before leaving home. Cold weather can make your hair brittle and more prone to breakage.
  3. Buy a silk scarf, as it avoids hair breakage.
  4. Use a good-quality hair conditioner after shampooing your hair. It keeps your hair soft and manageable for a longer time.
  5. Try to oil your hair at least three times a week. Oiling your hair before shampoo is highly advisable, as it helps lock moisture into your hair.
  6. Keep your hair tied up as much as you can. It prevents hair breakage and loss of hair moisture. If you frequently use hair straighteners and curling tongs on your hair, then always go for good-quality products. Use hair care products like heat defence sprays and leave-in conditioners to protect your hair from heat and damage.

Although it is possible for your hair to become dry and brittle during the winter, you can preserve length and moisture in your hair by taking the right care of it. There are many different protective hairstyles that you can choose from, ranging from easy, low-maintenance looks like cornrows and buns to more intricate looks like wigs, weaves, and individual braids like box braids and Senegalese twists.

It is simple to select a hat that shields sensitive edges, keeps moisture in, helps prolong the freshness of curls, avoids drying out, lessens friction, and produces fewer tangles. What kind of headgear accomplishes this? a bonnet lined with satin. By keeping the hair’s oil and integrity intact, satin can protect delicate hair strands from substances that cause friction and absorb vital moisture.

Salon Treatments

  1. Deep-condition your hair at least once a week. From indoor heating to dry winds, winter has a way of depleting the moisture in your hair. Use a nourishing hair mask or an ultra-moisturising conditioner to make sure your hair stays soft and pliable.
  2. Wear a hat. It’s time to accessorise with your favourite beanies, ushankas, and berets. A hat will protect your hair from the cold elements whilst locking in moisture. Tip: fight static electricity under your hat by using a serum or oil like our Prodigio Oil.
  3. Avoid frequent hair washes. If you wash your hair too often, then you’re not giving it enough time to absorb the natural, nourishing oils that your scalp produces. At the same time, your shampoo is probably stripping away the little moisture that your hair does have. Since you’re less likely to build up a sweat in winter, stick to a routine where you cleanse your tresses once or twice a week only. Substitute the days in between with a quality dry shampoo for a fresh and volumized look.
  4. Turn down the heat. Avoid heat styling as often as possible. Hot hair tools can suck moisture from your strands, leaving them brittle and vulnerable to winter’s harsh elements. Instead, allow your locks to dry naturally, and then twist and prod them into the protective winter hairstyle ideas we’re about to share with you. As temperatures drop, our beauty routine needs a bit of an overhaul to reflect the harsher conditions of the winter. Nourish your locks with Look’s deep conditioning and hydrating treatment.
  5. If you would describe your hair as being dry, frizzy or unmanageable, chances are you could benefit from a deep conditioning hair treatment.
  6. Overuse of heat and styling products, environmental toxins and chemicals from hair treatments can all damage and strip your hair of its natural shine. But don’t fret—deep conditioning treatments can save your locks! How so? We’re glad you asked! They’ll leave your hair looking smooth and shiny
  7. When your outer layer of hair, known as the cuticle, is damaged, the scales don’t lie flat and give the appearance of frizzy, dry hair. A deep conditioning treatment will condition the cuticle and help the scale-like cells lie flat, giving the hair a smoother and shinier appearance. They’ll add moisture to your locks.
  8. One of the main reasons that hair becomes unmanageable and dull-looking is because it’s been stripped of its moisture. Using harsh heat styling like a hair dryer, curling iron or flat iron will strip the moisture from it, leaving it dull and dry-looking. Deep conditioning treatments add moisture to your hair, restoring the fullness of each strand. Adding moisture will help plump up the hair, giving it a smoother, fuller and healthier appearance.
  9. They’ll protect your strands. Deep conditioning treatments can be part of a regular hair-healthy regimen. They strengthen, detangle and help prevent split ends. If deep conditioning treatments are done regularly enough, they can prevent hair from being damaged when heat styling takes place.

Healthy hair needs a healthy diet.

  • What you eat also plays a role in hair health. For example, if your diet restricts certain food groups, that may affect your hair. Biotin is essential for the production of a hair protein called keratin, which is why biotin supplements are often marketed for hair growth.
  • Research has also shown that consuming more biotin can help improve hair growth in people with a biotin deficiency. Berries are loaded with beneficial compounds and vitamins that may support hair growth. This includes vitamin C, which has strong antioxidant properties.
  • Antioxidants can help protect hair follicles against damage from harmful molecules called free radicals. These molecules exist naturally in the body and the environment.
  • Fatty fish like salmon, herring, and mackerel have nutrients that may promote hair growth. They are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to hair growth in several studies.
  • An older study in 120 women found that taking a supplement containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well as antioxidants reduced hair loss and increased hair density
  • Avocados are delicious, nutritious, and a great source of healthy fats.They are also an excellent source of vitamin E, which may support hair growth
  • The bottom line is that what you eat can affect the health of your hair.
  • A lack of the right nutrients, including vitamins A, C, D, and E, zinc, B vitamins, iron, biotin, protein, and essential fatty acids, may slow down hair growth or even cause hair loss.

Fortunately, correcting a deficiency in any of these nutrients may help treat hair loss and promote hair growth. If you think you’re lacking any of these nutrients, try adding some of the above foods to your diet.
