With the new season making its way and when everything seems new and fresh now, there cannot be a less perfect time than this for rejuvenating your hair. Because as you leave behind your cosy adorable wintry overcoats behind, you might start worrying about your dry and damaged hair. But you need not be a part of this sad hair story. Here are some miracle tips for your hair care this season.
1. Old story of hair conditioning
Well, this might sound like your old granny’s advice but conditioning your hair in this season is actually essential for a healthy hair growth. Keep your shampoo bottle aside for some time. You don’t need to shampoo your hair every single day. This will strip the essential oils off your hair. Moreover, daily rubbing over the hair cuticles can make your hair all the more unmanageable. A good moisturizing conditioner will retain the moisture in your hair making your hair soft and smooth. If you want natural nourishment for your hair, go for conditioners with honey and shikakai. Honey is an anti-bacterial agent and attracts moisture. Shikakai is another herb that has natural conditioning properties. You can also go for green tea and aloe vera based conditioners that will help strengthen your hair roots and promote natural hair growth giving a natural shine to your hair.
2. Let go off those split ends
Your furry wool stoles and stuffy collars might have made you warm with your pretty curls all flowing out of them. But wool causes serious hair breakage and makes your hair tresses dry taking out the moisture. So all you need to do is get a short trim and get those wintry dry brittle split ends cut.
3. Seal the moisture
Conditioning your hair gives the required moisture but you need to oil your hair to lock that moisture into your curls. Go for olive oil that is loaded with anti-oxidants and promotes scalp health making your hair soft and shiny. It can fight off dandruff and lice problems. Amla oil will soothe your scalp that might have become dry and itchy due to winters. Amla is rich in polyphenols that prevent hair loss and premature graying of hair. You can go for almond oil, coconut oil, argan oil, jojoba and many others for smooth and soft hair.
4. Sun and your hair
Just like the heat from sun can damage your skin, it can damage your hair as well because the scalp is skin too. Too much of exposure to sun’s rays might make your hair dry and take away all the moisture. For those of you who love your hair highlights, might want to take extra care because sun’s rays might cause unnecessary lightening of hair color. Use shampoos and conditioners that provide a minimal amount of UV protection.
5. Keep away from hair straighteners
No wonder those straight hair locks look fabulous on you. But during this time of season change, you need to give a little break to your straightener as excessive hair straightening can cause extreme dryness and make your hair brittle causing uncontrolled breakage. So let your curls bounce and flow naturally as it will make them only healthier.
6. Last tip, love your hair the way it is
You might have straight, wavy or curly hair. Simply love your hair the way it is naturally. Caress your hair, treat it with nature’s products and they will surely get you tons of compliments.
