Winter may be that lovely season of foggy mornings, chilly evenings and a relief from the sweltering heat but it can wreak havoc on your hair and leave you cursing this blissful weather. Here are a few hair care tips to leave you with those beautiful locks that you would love to run your fingers down this winter season!
Being in my profession, I need an effective hair care regime that can cope with excessive dryness in the air during winter and keep my hair smooth and manageable 24×7. Four thumb rules I swear by for my hair are drinking water, a healthy diet, adequate sleep and 20 minute deep conditioning with hot oil.
A 20 minutes deep conditioning massage with hot oil is my non-negotiable hair care ritual, especially during the winter. Coconut based hair oil deeply penetrates into your scalp to deeply condition your hair, making it an instant solution against the frizz and keeping my hair voluminous, thick and full of bounce.
When I wash my hair, I pat my hair dry with a towel, and use a soft hair brush or a wide-toothed comb so that my hair isn’t treated harshly and it maintains its shine and natural oils.
Sometimes after many long days of shoot, all the hair styling makes my hair slightly dry, especially in the winter when the weather is humid! I simply get a quick 20 minute deep conditioning with hot oil which nourishes my hair from within and brings back my volume and bounce.
I also make sure I don’t tie your hair very tightly as it will leave the strands broken leading to unnecessary damage and roughness. It’s best to keep your hair styles as simple as possible.
A good diet of 3-4 portions of fruit and vegetables gives me my share of anti-oxidants to keep my hair healthy. Also, protein enriched food such as milk, yoghurt; sprouts, etc. provide my hair with the essential nourishment. Drinking fluids like coconut water keep my system hydrated and refreshed, which makes sure my hair is healthy.
