8 dont's for healthy hair during the winter season

Winter comes as a huge relief from scorching heat of summer and pouring monsoon. However, this change of seasons can affect your hair in more than one way. You need to be extra careful to banish the dreaded winter woes or it may turn into a nightmare.


Wear a scarf or cap to protect your hair from the cold winds. Try and cover your hair as much as you can when out in cold winds to prevent hair breakage, prevent split ends and damaged hair.The cap should be worn loosely or else it can hamper blood circulation in the scalp.


It is essential that you use a wide-tooth comb when dealing with wet hair making sure to dab wet hair with a soft towel first. Avoid too much brushing as hair is most fragile when wet.


Don't go outside with your wet hair. Winter weather can create problems for your wet hair and make it frizzy and dull. Wet hair could also result in hair breakage due to cold air.


Avoid using blow dryers and curlers on the hair. Try limiting their usage or apply a hair spray before experimenting on your hair. The less you'll deal with styling tools the better off you'll be. (Read: 10 winter skin and hair care tips you can't do without!)
