Winter weather isn’t only harsh on homes and vehicles and landscapes, it can be harsh on our hair as well. But we can reveal some secrets to healthy hair in the winter months.
Among other things during the dry winter months, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends spacing out chemical treatments longer than usual to help prevent damage to your hair.
Hair Care and Nutrition
How often you wash your hair in the winter should depend on how much oil is produced by your scalp. If your scalp is dry, you can use NEA Mint Blue Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Dry and Flaking Skin. If your scalp and/or hair are oily, you may need to wash your hair more often with another high-quality shampoo to keep your scalp clean.
No matter which shampoo you use, after you wash your hair, there is another important step. You should use a conditioner that is specific to your hair type to make your hair stronger. A conditioner will also help you decrease static electricity in the dry winter months.
You should take it easy when brushing your hair, especially if it’s wet. You should use wide smooth prongs to stroke through your hair when it is damp, but not wet because hair is more fragile and delicate when it is wet.
Your diet is also important to your hair’s health. If your diet restricts certain types of food or food groups, it may affect your hair. Special vitamins and supplements designed for hair care can help resolve this and replace the nutrition that is missing. Iron, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Vitamin A are very important as well as an H vitamin which helps your hair and your nails.
