The Winter season has started. We do take care of our skin. But what about our hair. Haircare is as essential as our skincare. Hair oils, feeding, brushing, drying, washing, using specific devices. So many factors that can impact hair health. Here are some tips for your hair to look good this winter.
Oil your Hair
Make sure you oil your hair every day. It is the most underrated thing to do. But oiling your hair daily makes it silky, shiny and strong from the root, especially in winter, when hair tends to be frizzy and dry. Here is the tip on how to apply oil.
- If possible warm the oil.
- Start applying from the scalp with the help of a cotton ball.
- Make sure you massage mildly. Don’t be too harsh on your scalp.

Your hair cannot handle too much heat. It will cause long-term damage to your hair. You can make messy buns, ponies, or other hairstyles instead of using hair tools daily.
Washing and cutting: the ideal pace to adopt
Ideally, it is best to wash your hair twice a week (shampoo + conditioner) and perform a scalp scrub from time to time to balance the ph. As for nourishing care (hair mask), they are to be carried out once a week. Finally, we do not forget to cut our hair regularly (at least the tips every two months) to keep it healthy!
