The winter winds are generally cold and dry, so they will make your hair frizz and become tangled. Covering your head during this season helps prevent its moisture from evaporating. Therefore, your hair will be hydrated for long hours.
When selecting a head cover, ensure it has a silk or satin lining on the inside. This helps prevent hair damage. Fabrics such as wool and cotton on the hair usually cause hair breakage. However, such materials can be great coverups for satin or silk hat since they keep the cold away.
Avoid Long Hot Showers
We understand it’s winter, and you want to feel warmer by taking hot showers; however, you’ll be damaging your hair. Hot water opens up the air cuticles doing away with essential moisture.
Your hair will be porous and dry after hot showers; therefore, it might break. The best option is to use lukewarm water when bathing.
Use Oil Treatment
If the winter weather has already damaged your hair, you can restore its moisture by using an oil-based treatment. Go for lightweight oils such as olive oil, sesame oil, and almond oil. These will nourish the dull tresses on the skin.
Also, oil treatments help fight hair dryness and breakage and prevent it from falling during winter. You can also use Ayurvedic hair treatment oils such as coconut oil to avoid breakage.

Avoid Washing Hair Frequently
Washing the hair frequently and with shampoos strips it of its natural oils. Your scalp becomes dry and irritated, so the hair might fall off.

Deep Condition the Hair Once a Week
