What threatens hair in winter

In winter, our hair lies in wait for such seasonal dangers as:

• Cold;
• Frosty wind;
• Snow;
• Too dry indoor air;
• Lack of vitamins and minerals.

How to properly care for your hair in winter so that it remains healthy and beautiful?

Secrets of winter hair care

Get advice from the hairdressing experts. Here's what they recommend:

Improve blood circulation in hair

From the cold, the vessels narrow, and the scalp does not receive enough nutrients that are delivered with the lymph and blood. This weakens the hair roots, which leads to slower hair growth and hair loss. Regular scalp massage can save you from such a scourge.

Darsonval with a special attachment and a laser comb can be noted as innovative methods of hair treatment. They normalize blood circulation in the scalp and stimulate hair growth.

Hair can become very dry and brittle at the ends, but remain oily at the roots.

Change your hair care routine

The fact is that with the change of the season, the type of hair and scalp also changes. They tend to get drier. For example, hair can become very dry and brittle at the ends, but remain oily at the roots.

Therefore, look for a gentle shampoo with natural ingredients, neutral PH, dyes and silicones. And after washing your hair, do not forget about moisturizing and restoring cosmetics.

Moisturize hair and skin

Drink plenty of fluids to rebalance your body and protect your hair and skin from dryness. An air humidifier also helps in this matter.

Well, you can achieve more intense hydration using special hair care products: balms, masks and conditioners. They make hair smoother and silkier, remove static electricity and even help relieve itchy scalp.

Apply regenerating and nourishing masks several times a week

They should contain such active substances as glycolipids, phospholipids, vitamins B1, B5, B6, F, proteins, amino acids and essential oils. It is recommended to apply a healing mask to damp, well-wrung hair, then cover it with a film and wrap it with a warm towel. Keep the mask on for at least 15 minutes.

Nourish hair with serums that do not need rinsing

These products have an excellent composition of active ingredients, and they act almost instantly. Serums heal and restore hair, protect its structure and retain moisture.

Attention: if you want to achieve not dirty and oily hair, but a well-groomed look, apply only 1-2 drops of the product. Usually so much is indicated in the instructions.

Do not forget about proper nutrition and vitamins

In winter, hair especially needs omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, calcium, zinc, proteins, vitamins and microelements. There are two ways to get them.

First, include the following foods in your diet: cereals, fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh and dried herbs, legumes, nuts, asparagus, and bread.

Secondly, take complex multivitamins or so-called "beauty vitamins", created specifically for the skin, nails and hair.

Protect skin from dandruff and boost immunity

Temperature changes, constant wearing of tight hats and decreased immunity lead to various dermatological problems, such as the appearance of dandruff or the growth of fungi and bacteria.

For dry dandruff, choose a gentle shampoo for dry and damaged hair. Natural oils also perfectly nourish the scalp: tea tree oil, burdock, olive, castor, almond and jojoba oil.

If you have oily dandruff and there is no improvement from natural remedies, consult a dermatologist, he will tell you the right remedy for you.

And experts also advise not to go out in the winter without a headdress, with just washed hair and use less hair dryer, curling iron and iron.

As you can see, with proper care, your hair can look beautiful and healthy at any time of the year. Follow our recommendations, and you will surely meet the long-awaited spring fully armed!
