Winter Hair Care Tips for Healthy Hair & Scalp:

#1. Protect your hair from the elements

Cold, wet winter weather can take its toll on your hair. The best way to protect your hair from the elements is to cover your head with a hat or scarf, but make sure that it’s not so tight that it will restrict the circulation in your scalp. While it protects your hair, wearing a winter hat can also lead to a build up of sweat that could irritate the scalp. While it protects your hair, wearing a winter hat can also lead to a build up of sweat that could irritate the scalp. So make sure you use an anti-dandruff shampoo to stop dandruff in its tracks before flakes start to appear.
   Prevent dandruff with a regular oil massage. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the oil and do this at least once a week.

#2. Keep your hair and scalp hydrated

If you’re dehydrated on the inside, it will show on the outside too so make sure you drink plenty of water to help keep your hair and scalp hydrated. Using Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care Shampoo moisturizes a dry scalp caused by winter weather and temperature fluctuations between indoors and outdoors.

Limit your use of tools like hair dryers and curling irons, as the heat can dry out your hair and scalp, increasing the risk of damage.

#4. Have your hair trimmed regularly

Whether you have long or short hair, winter weather can make the ends of your hair dry and brittle. Regular trims will keep your hair in good condition and reduce the chance of split ends.

#5. Washing Hair

It might be tempting in the colder months to turn the water temperature up, but try to avoid washing your hair in very hot water - use Lukewarm water to avoid damage. Hot water can dry out your hair and damage the delicate skin on your scalp, which may be extra sensitive during the winter.

#6. Don’t leave home with wet hair

Take the extra time to blow-dry your hair or let it dry naturally before going outside. In cold weather your hair will take a long time to dry - and if your hair freezes, you risk breakage.

What does your winter wardrobe have?

•  Have a separate wardrobe to stay snug and warm this winter. But start with skinny jeans. Good for the day and the night, you can layer the top with as many clothes for style and warmth.

•  Invest in a lovely cashmere sweater that complements your skirts, jeans, leather pants and formal trousers. If you want to up the chic quotient a bit more, get a coat that says oomph in every weave of the fabric.

•  For casual evenings, pick up a leather jacket that will immediately transform any winter outfit.

•  Oh, don’t forget the footwear. The keyword is boots – ankle-length or over the knees, anything works.
