The winter months can not only play havoc with your skin but with your hair as well. The combination of dry indoor heat and the outside cold sucks out moisture from the scalp which eventually leads to breakage and hair loss.

Even those with the healthiest of tresses have faced challenges at this time of the year, so if your are wondering as to what to do to prevent your hair from breaking up in the cold season, here are some things you can do to prevent hair damage this coming winter.

Use hair products as per your hair type

There are a plethora of hair products available in the market today which is why it is imperative to choose a product that is right for your hair.For instance if you have sensitive hair or skin, use a sulfate-free shampoo that does not contain the harsh chemicals found in traditional shampoos.

In addition to this, cleaning your hair with a shampoo without parabens can keep your hair healthy in winter by retaining moisture and preventing loss of oils that are vital for scalp health.

Also look for conditioners that are formulated especially to provide nourishment and moisture like those that contain coconut oil or argan oil that will leave your hair hydrated and soft.

Avoid hot showers 

Refrain from taking a head wash in hot water or staying under a hot shower for a prolonged period of time as excess heat can damage your hair and instead use lukewarm water for taking a head bath.

In addition, try limiting the use of curling irons or blow air dryers as using these heat styling tools for a long time can strip the hair of essential oils and moisture.

If you have no alternative but to style your hair from time to time, make use of a hair protection spray before experimenting.

Eat healthy a diet and stay hydrated 

A major cause of hair breakage in winter is due to unhealthy diets coupled with lack of other hair nutrients that are essential for good hair health. While vitamin A produces healthy sebum’s in the scalp, vitamin E can stimulate blood circulation in the scslp.

Poor diet and nutrient deficiency prevents the body’s ability to create new  hair follicles. So ensure the intake of sufficient green vegetables and proteins as they are required in cold weather.

Besides healthy food, water is a magic exilir that you must take to stay hydrated in the cold winter months. Drinking plenty of water will also keep your hair hydrated and prevent split ends and brittleness, thereby nurturing shiny and radiant tresses.

Oil massages 

There is nothing better than a good oil massage to keep the hair healthy in winter. The increase in blood flow as a result of the massage will help strengthen the hair follicles from within.

Besides being soothing, a hair massage offers the perfect way to tank up your scalp with the right vitamins new to combat the winter chill and ensure adequate nourishment for the hair cuticles.
