Your hair needs special care during change of weather
Importance of moisturizing
You should have no doubts if I say that healthy hair is not all about greasing them with oils but what you need is a healthy diet. There should be no doubt about another fact that your body has almost 80% of water so you every body part needs water to run it smoothly including hair which is nothing but dead protein. However the fact remains that winters reduce moisture from the hair and that become the cause of damage to hair when they come in contact with air. In fact, your hair needs special care in winters. Yes, for a healthy and natural hair, you need water otherwise humidity will harm your hair.
Hot Oil Massage
Winters make your hair dry so you need a hot oil massage by an ayurvedic oil because most ayurvedic oils are made of ingredients which keep your skull warm which saves you from cold. You can try either mustered or coconut oil for the purpose. As suggested earlier it’s better to use lukewarm oil which gives the best result. Actually massage generates a cover for your hair which protects from winds and humidity and keeps your hair shining. Some experts suggest mixture of olive and mustered for the purpose.
Shampoo keeps your hair clean
Shampooing your hair is good for your skull and hair both as it keeps them clean. You should choose your shampoo carefully according to your hair which will remove the extra oil from your hair besides saving your hair from dandruff. It’s better to use mild or baby shampoo during winters which helps keep texture of your hair in good condition. Therefore using right shampoo according to structure and texture of your hair is the best way of keeping your hair healthy.
Conditioning and steaming
You must take special care of your hair by conditioning and giving them steaming treatment in winters. It helps create a protective layer and saves them from dryness and being split ended. Whatever the way you must keep your hair well moisturized if your hair looks dry and brittle. You must use wet towel therapy after applying conditioner to your hair such vaporizing method makes your hair feel and look silky but make sure you do not go through the vaporizing process for longer duration as this could cause you harm if the towel is not properly warm.
You can use hair serum in place of steam towel during extreme cold weather which is as effective and provides a protective layer besides giving a shine to your hair. Hair serum which is made of silicon based content, is a live on conditioner which provides a coating to the hair at the same time. Hair serums protect your hair from ultraviolet rays and keep your hair smooth and healthy.

Hair packs are another good method for keeping your hair shiny and protected from the weather. You can mix an egg with olive oil, coconut oil, glycerin, honey and vinegar and use the mixture in your hair. Keep the mixture in your hair for two hours and then wash your hair with lukewarm water. You can use another hair pack using banana, fresh juice of elovera, lemon juice and honey, keeping the mixture in your hair for 45 minutes and then wash your hair with lukewarm water. You should not keep the mixture for more than required period which can harm you due to cold weather conditions.
