Here are some Winter Hair care Tips that can guide you about how to take special care for your hair during winter.

-          Shield you hair with a hat, cap or scarf, slightly loose enough to allow scalp circulation,            to protect your hair against the chill wind in winter.

-          Be regular with oiling your hair once or twice a week this winter as it retains the shine of hair and keep the hair-roots strong. Using hot oil can be an effective measure towards protecting your hair in winter. You can try using a natural hot oil solution like jojoba hot oil treatment for your hair and it can excellently re hydrate your dry hair.

Do not wash your hair using hot water as this can damage your hair to a great extent. Try using lukewarm or preferably cool water while washing your hair. Cold water/ tap water will also give your hair extra shine.
 

-       Avoid shampooing your hair too often. In winter the hair as well as the scalp dry easily and shampooing too frequently can worsen the case. Switch to mild shampoo and ensure no damage. It will keep the scalp clean and dandruff free. And, those who are having dandruff problem can choose a mild anti-dandruff shampoo.

-      Avoid using blow dryers, curling irons and straightening irons as they tend to dry and damage the hair to a great extent. Use such hot items for your hair, as little as possible. If you need to use a hot item use a leave in conditioner before using the item on your hair.

-       Use Hair products that have the word, "Replenish" on it is made to moisturize your hair.

-          Along with conditioning, you can also indulge into spa treatments like hair-spa, head massage and even hair-masks.

-          Try using a dry shampoo if you need to wash out your hair. One dry shampoo you can use is baby powder, simply sprinkle some onto your hair and use a comb to comb it off.

-          Static energy remains very intense during wintertime. If your hair is charged with static, brushing your hair can pose a very big problem. Static causes huge damage even with 'static free' brushes. Rub a dryer softener sheet over the brush, which can greatly detangling your hair.
