How To Tackle Dry Scalp And Flakes In Cold Weather
Combat dry scalp and flakes in cold weather by moisturizing with oils like coconut or argan, using a gentle shampoo, avoiding hot water, and wearing a hat to protect your scalp from harsh winds.
The winter season brings with it dry, itchy, flaky scalp and hair that scream to be salvaged. While most think a simple hair care routine consisting of shampooing the hair regularly is enough, the reality is far from it. In winter, your hair needs more care as it loses moisture due to dry winds and the temperature difference when you are indoors and outdoors.
Winter Hair Care: Tackling Dry Scalp And Flaky Hair
1. Stay Hydrated And Avoid Heat Treatments
So, the very first step should be to hydrate yourself and drink more water, so that the dry roots can be replenished with moisture that has been lost. Also, avoid heat treatments, and save your dry scalp and hair as they dry out the natural oil of your hair. Thus, bid adieu to your hair straighteners and curlers.
2. Nourish Your Scalp With Henna For Strength
While you can cut down on the external factors and impact of the environment by simply covering the head, you do need to nourish your hair and scalp to make it stronger. Henna is a great solution to give your hair the right nutrients. For those of you who find henna application to be a cumbersome and messy affair, henna cream is now available and comes with an easy-to-apply applicator. It acts like a hair mask, that replenishes the lost nutrients. Just keep it on for two hours and wash away with cold or lukewarm water.
3. Wash Hair With Lukewarm Water
Another tip, never use hot water to wash hair in winter as it further depletes the moisture in the hair. You can boost the quality of your hair with Brazilian herbs like Guarana, Jaborandi, Acai, Babacu oil, and others. It is further replenished by nutrients that tame the fizziness of hair and make them stronger.
