Practical Winter Hair Tips Beyond Products

• Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat can worsen dryness. If you need to style, keep it on the lowest setting and use a heat protectant.
• Switch to Silk or Satin: Cotton or wool pillow cases may create static. Opt for silk or satin-lined pillowcases to keep your hair smooth.
• Hydrate from Within: Winter air dries your skin and your hair. Drinking enough water and eating hydrating foods like fruits can make a huge difference.
• Use a Humidifier Indoors: Indoor heating can strip moisture from the air, which leads to drier hair and skin. A humidifier restores humidity in your living space, helping your hair retain its natural moisture.
• Avoid Over-Washing: Washing too often can strip your hair of natural oils, leaving it even drier. Try to wash your hair only 2-3 times a week to keep its natural moisture levels balanced.
• Incorporate Regular Hair Oiling: Applying a nourishing hair oil once or twice a week helps lock in moisture and protects your scalp from drying out in the cold. Massage a few drops of oil into your scalp and through the lengths of your hair, letting it sit for 30 minutes before washing it out. This simple ritual will keep your hair hydrated, soft, and more resilient to winter’s harsh conditions.
