New Delhi: Winters cause a lot of dryness for the skin and hair, so it's very important to pamper yourself more in winters to achieve healthy skin and hair. Already the hair is dry so reduce the use of blow dryers and other hair equipment which cause heat to the hair.

Ever notice how your hair changes in texture or shine during the winter months?

Sometimes it’s dry, other times it has its own static charge, and it never seems to hold a hairstyle once you step outside. Something’s in the air, and not necessarily in a good way.

The winter weather can be bad enough, but you don’t have to let it ruin your hair too. With these simple hair care tips, you’ll be on your way to healthy, radiant-looking hair, all year long.
 
Wash Less: 
Since cold air already dries out hair, there isn’t a need to wash it every day. Doing so may strip your hair of its natural oils and dry it out even more. Cut back to washing your hair 2-3 times a week and your hair should be able to retain the extra moisture!

Deep Condition: 
Treat your hair once a week to a deep conditioning treatment to replenish and lock in moisture lost from dry air. Not only will this help soften frizzy and brittle hair, but it will also create stronger, shinier hair.

Cold Showers: 
Okay, not really, but try to resist the urge to take hot showers when it’s cold outside. Hot water tends to strip moisture from your hair, and your hair needs all the moisture it can get during the winter. Instead, try to take a warm or lukewarm shower for 10 minutes or less to prevent hair from becoming dry.
 
Trim Regularly: 
Like we mentioned above, wind can cause split ends, along with dry, brittle hair. Getting a trim every 6-8 weeks during the winter months will help keep hair healthy and strong, and reduce the chances of getting split ends.

Go Natural: 
The winter weather is hard enough on your hair without adding in any styling tools. If you can, try to avoid using blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners as much as possible. If you do need to use them, the best hair damage solutionis to apply a leave-in conditioner or heat-protective product first, and then follow with a blow dryer on low heat.
