		</div><p>Cold weather brings a lot of unwelcome stress due to dry scalp, excessive hair fall and weak hair strands. In spite of following the same haircare regime, to our amazement, it does not suffice the winter chills and leads to further hair damage. The reason behind poor hair quality during winters is the temperature variation indoor and outdoor. It affects your hair strands, leading to split ends and breakage.</p>
<p>Taking care of your crowning glory us vital, it not only boosts confidence it also adds to our over all look. Hair care tips to follow this season to maintain the lustrous mane, here are few tips.</p>
<h3>Hair Hygiene</h3>
<p>With the fall in temperature, there is a general reluctance amongst people to refrain from regular showers. During winters due to temperature variations outside and in indoors, the dry, windy climate takes a toll on hair health. To maintain the lustrous tresses, it is vital to maintain hygiene standards and avoid infection in scalp.</p>
<h3>Hair and Body Hydration</h3>
<p>Winters dehydrate body and hair. Drinking a lot of water helps to retain moisture in your hair and scalp and thus, prevents them from drying. Hydration aids the sebaceous glands to secrete oil, which leaves the scalp and hair nourished and healthy.</p>

<h3>Dry your hair before stepping out</h3>
<p>Wet hair exposed to cold air expands the hair shaft, making the hair more prone to breakage. It is an absolute NO for everyone to leave the house with wet hair. It is advisable to give your hair that extra time in the winter to air dry before sauntering out for the day. If that becomes a little taxing, modify your winter hair care routine, wash your hair at night, and let it dry.</p>
<h3>Avoid heat-heavy styling routine</h3>
<p>Taking care of your hair in winter months also means, not to expose it to too much heat from tools such as the hair dryers, tongs, straightening irons and curlers. Excessive heat styling is a major culprit for dry and damaged hair. Heat styling amplifies the already fragile state of the hair during winter months as they extract the moisture from the hair strands. A little heat escape during this month helps in maintaining the overall hair health.</p>
<h3>Fight the frizz</h3>
<p>One of the most bothersome things in winters for hair is the static from the hoodies, sweater, scarves, gloves, and beanies. These all seem to gang up on your hair, making it static and a frizzy mess. To tackle this, use a vented hairbrush that has a combination of plastic and boar bristles while combing your hair. Also, wash your hair only with lukewarm water and not hot water, as the latter will strip away the natural oils that protect and nourish your hair.</p>

<p>In case you are losing hair, make sure that you massage your scalp each morning before your hair wash. This would help you to stimulate your blood vessels and loosen up your scalp. If your scalp is dry, use almond or olive oil, however if your hair is oily, avoid using oil as it would worsen the condition.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>While brushing/combing your hair, remain gentle. If you comb too roughly, you might lose those precious strands of hair. The idea is to be patient while brushing/combing and not to rush through the things.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>While drying, do not rub the hair. This will weaken the follicle and make the hair brittle and dull. The cuticle of the hair will not lie flat, so it will not be smooth or shiny.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Unhealthy hair results from chlorinated water, pollution, air conditioning, stress, improper weight loss diet, lack of sleep, sudden shock, inadequate sleep, thyroid problems, summer heat, excessive sweating, too many hair washes and dandruff.</p>
</li>
