Hairfall rescue: restore moisture, shine in simple steps

When winter arrives, the air becomes drier, directly affecting your hair. Many people notice their hair turning dry, rough, and lifeless. On top of that, problems like dandruff, itchy scalp, and excessive hair fall often appear. Those whose hair is naturally dry face even more challenges during the colder months. However, with a little care, you can keep your hair healthy and beautiful even in winter.

Taking special care of your hair at the start of winter is essential. By following a few simple habits and home remedies, you can maintain your hair’s moisture. Here’s what you can do.

1. Restore Moisture with Oil Massage

About an hour before washing your hair, gently massage your scalp and hair with slightly warm coconut, olive, or argan oil. This reduces dryness and strengthens hair.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Use sulfate- and paraben-free shampoos with moisturizing properties. Avoid excessive use of chemical-based hair colors and styling products.

3. Skip Hot Water

Hot water strips your hair of natural oils. Wash your hair with lukewarm or cool water to keep it soft and hydrated.

4. Limit Heat Styling

Blow dryers and straighteners can make hair even drier. Let your hair air-dry naturally after washing whenever possible.

5. Don’t Over-Shampoo

You don’t need to shampoo your hair every day in winter. Washing 2–3 times a week is enough to maintain natural oils.

6. Nourish with Home Hair Masks

Mix yogurt with coconut or olive oil to make a hair mask. Apply it once or twice a week for smooth, shiny hair.

7. Eat better

A balanced diet is essential for hair health. Seasonal fruits, vegetables, nuts, and omega-3-rich foods can help your hair stay strong and radiant during winter.
