WINTER HAIR CARE TIPS FOR WOMEN

The winter climatic conditions are capable of causing damage to skin and hair. The wind during winters is very dry. The dry winds change the moisture content of hair and make them go frizzy and rough. Not to worry. No matter what's causing your hair woes, you can take the protective, replenishing steps to insure your hair does not get damaged. Here is being women's top winter hair care tips.

1) Hot Oil Treatments

Hair becomes rough and dry during winter season. It loses moisture and looks frizzy. Oil massage rejuvenates and re-hydrates dry hair and scalp or grabs some Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It will help heal your hair from daily wear and tear. Apply directly to damp hair. Oil reduces the dryness caused due to the winter winds. Hot Oil massage can be done using any hair oil. Regular oil massages during winters is very useful for winter hair care.

2) No More Wet Hair

Don't go outside with a wet head. It really pays to get up half an hour earlier to blow dry your hair, or a couple hours to let your hair air dry. Of course, the time will depend on the length and thickness of your hair.

3) Protect Hair From Cold Wind

Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind, but make sure it's not so tight it interferes with the circulation in your scalp. You get to the office, remove you slinky silk Hermes scarf and all of a sudden you have a halo of static hair around your face.

4) Deep Conditioning

Conditioners are a redeemer during winter season. Good conditioners help to keep the hair and scalp hydrated. Lock in the moisture by running your hair through cold water. This has the added benefit of giving your hair added shine. Don't rinse out your conditioner completely. Leave in about 25 percent of it. If your hair is too fine, thin, or soft for that, leave the conditioner just in the ends.

5) Avoid Hair Care Appliances

Hair and scalp tends to get dry and rough during winters. Limit the use of blow dryers and curling irons. If you must use them, try using a leave-in conditioner first. Diffuse it on low heat, concentrating on the roots. Hair care appliances like hair dryers, blowers and strengtheners should be avoided. Hair becomes drier when external heat is applied to it.

6) Avoid Hot Showers

Avoid taking hot showers or washing your hair in hot water. Use warm or cool water instead. That way the heat won't dry out and/or damage your hair and skin.

7) Hair Packs

Hair packs can be made from natural ingredients as well as synthetic chemicals. Both the type of hair packs are good for providing moisture to hair, reducing dandruff and improving the hair quality.If you want natural treatment, put a few drops of warm, natural oil olive, safflower, avocado, or jojoba in the palm of your hand, rub 'til the skin glistens, then starting at the ends, work upwards to the roots. Leave on overnight.
