How to take care of your hair, during winters

The season of winter is approaching in some places, and has already begun in other areas around the country. Winter is an amazing time to snuggle up under your blanket in bed at night, and to embrace the warm sun in the morning on your balcony or terrace. However, you need to take extra care of your hair now, because your hair is more susceptible to damage or breakage in winters, due to the roughness, dryness, or frizz that comes along with the cold season. 

So, you must ensure that you take care of your hair in winters, just like you take care of yourself. As one of the prominent makers of the safest hair colouring solutions and many other hair care products, we recommend certain winter hair care tips that can help you keep your hair well-maintained, smooth, and shiny. 

1) Oil your hair 

The heat inside your house during winters can make your scalp and hair dry, by sucking in a good amount of moisture from your hair. So, oiling your hair twice or thrice a week is important to keep your hair well-nourished and healthy. You can try our Vasmol Jasmine Premium Coconut Hair Oil, or you can explore our range of oils here, and pick the one that suits you best. 

2) Don’t go out with wet hair 

If you leave your house with wet hair, your hair would be more prone to damage. So, ensure you have air-dried your hair properly, before you leave the house to go out.

3) Cover your head with a winter hat or cap 

If you somehow cannot manage to get enough time to air-dry your hair after a bath and you have to leave your house, wear a hat or winter cap so that your hair is not directly exposed to tiny particles in the cold air. 

4) Don’t wash your hair frequently 

Don’t wash your hair with shampoo frequently because it can significantly take away the natural oils present in your hair, which are essential to your hair health. If you have dry hair, try to shampoo your hair twice or thrice a week. So, if you have been washing your hair every day until now, then it’s high time you break that habit. 

5) Avoid heat styling 

Air-drying is the best option for you when it comes to drying your hair. When you blow-dry your hair, it strips your hair of its moisture and increases the probability of hair breakage. So, if you want to keep your hair healthy and shiny, avoid heat styling. 

6) Condition your hair once a week 

Condition your hair only once a week to moisturize your hair and protect it from the effects of cold climate and indoor heating. Not only that, but keeping your hair well-hydrated will also stop it from becoming static. 

7) Stay hydrated 

If you keep yourself hydrated, it would surely enhance hair growth from the root to the tip. In addition, it would also lead to a healthy scalp and protect it from problems, like dryness and itching. 

8) Trim your hair regularly 

Go for a trim once a month (or two) to keep your hair lively and well-maintained. This also reduces the probability of split ends. 

9) Decrease the water temperature before you wash your hair 

When you shower, ensure that the water temperature is at a moderate level, even though showering with hot water during winters might seem like sheer bliss. However, the same heat can actually suck in a considerable amount of hair moisture, thereby making it brittle and more susceptible to breakage. 

So, to keep yourself as well as your hair happy and healthy throughout the winter season, follow these winter tips and give your hair the care it deserves.
