Winter is here and it is having a major effect on your hair and scalp. Your hair is drier and more brittle and your scalp is itchy and flaky. So what can you do to make sure this doesn’t happen? First, you need to take extra care of your hair in the winter, as you will be drying it more often than you did in the summer. Plus with the lack of moisture in the air, you will need more moisturizing products to keep it soft and supple! Here are some winter hair care tips for you to try.

Hair Oil for Your Scalp

Invest in a good hot oil massage with nourishing hair oils like coconut and olive oils. The oils will penetrate the hair shaft and keep the hair moisturized and massaging the scalp will improve blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.

Avoid Heat Styling Tools

As the weather cools down you will have to start drying your hair with a blow dryer more often, which does dry out the follicles. Try to avoid the straightening and curling tongs as much as you can or make sure to use protective sprays. You can also braid your wet hair in the evening and it will be dry with texture in the morning.

Cover Your Hair

In order to avoid the cold and wet damaging your hair more, start covering your hair with a scarf or hat when you are outside. Silk or satin are your best options to stop static and flyaways.

Regular Trims

The cold and dry air in the winter causes more split ends and breakage so make time to have regular trims to keep your ends fresh and even.
