The winter season is upon us, and every year, as the temperature drops, a lot of us face skin dryness. Since it is quite common, there is enough awareness of how to treat flaky skin with numerous natural and chemical treatments now available. However, what is not often acknowledged is the fact that wet hair can be more prone to damage during the cold months. Your hair needs as much attention as your skin demands, and it is equally crucial to understand what makes it easier for wet hair to break easily during colder days. Although it is no rocket science to find the cure to this with numerous ingredients to our rescue now, it is only fair to know what makes wet hair so weak. So, your hair is made of proteins known as keratins, and when wet, the protein bonds weaken, making them vulnerable to damage, stripping off the moisture. Moreover, cold air can freeze and expand the water in your hair, causing the hair fibres to do the same. In turn, the hair cuticle gets harmed and leads to split ends and breakage. Hence, in winter, it is recommended to dry your hair before leaving the house to avoid compromising your hair's health.
Here are five haircare ingredients to keep hair healthy during the cold weather Coconut OilWe must all agree that this is truly a star ingredient and almost a solution to every skin- or hair-related issue. Its ability to seep deep into the hair shaft makes it a go-to for preventing protein loss and reducing split ends. This oil is rich in fatty acids and provides intense hydration and moisture, making hair softer and more manageable. Argan OilOnly recently a renowned beautician recommended I use argan oil for dry and frizzy hair, and I cannot be grateful enough. It is awesome because without even making your hair greasy, it moisturises your dry hair, reducing frizz, adding shine, and improving hair elasticity. It is a whole package of antioxidants, vitamin E, and essential fatty acids. Aloe VeraThis one is an all-rounder, and I will never take my words back! Widely and mostly known for its hydrating and soothing properties, aloe vera conditions your hair. It restores moisture and promotes a healthy scalp, and that is what is so important for your overall hair health. Shea ButterAnother go-to ingredient when it comes to moisturising either your skin or hair, shea butter is loaded with vitamins A and E. This natural conditioner nourishes and moisturises hair, sealing moisture and repairing damaged strands. In the end, you will be left with only soft and smooth hair. HoneWho does not love or use honey? This natural ingredient draws moisture into the hair and locks it in. Full of antioxidants and nutrients, honey promotes healthier hair and adds lustre and shine to dull, dry strands.You may also like
