Winters are dry and cold. With the change of temperature as you move from inside to outside and vice versa, the hair can lose its shine and bounce. Also, the scalp suffers too, and dandruff is a common issue that happens. During the colder months, the hair experiences breakage and split ends, static and frizz, all of which can be quite tiring and frustrating.

However, the colder months do not necessarily have to mean trouble with the hair. Here are the top 5 tips that can help you avoid getting dry hair and scalp this winter:

 1. Don’t leave the house with wet hair

 Not only it is very bad for your health and you can end up having a fever or even some more serious health condition, going with wet hair out is bad for the quality of the hair. The low temperatures make the water freeze in the hair follicle, which causes hair breakage.

 2. Use olive oil

Olive oil is a great home remedy and solution for the drying scalp in the winter. By massaging some olive oil into the scalp, it will boost moisture and even provide you with a nice relaxing feeling. Do this before washing your hair. This way, you will lock the moisture in.

 3. Wash hair less frequently

 Washing the hair frequently rips the scalp from its natural oils, leaving it itchy. In the winter, try and wash your hair once or twice a week.

 4. Use honey

 DIY home honey mask restores the lost moisture and makes it look more voluminous, shiny, and bouncy.

5. Avoid excessive heat

During the colder times, try and avoid heat styling tools too much. They dry out the hair, causing damage and hair fall.
