Winter air wreaks havoc on the tresses, it dries them considerably. If your hair type is naturally dry, then the drying effects are much more profound. If you find your hair becoming extra dry during winter then cut down on frequent washing. Restrict it to once a week and avoid harsh shampoos. Oily hair types can rejoice a bit as they get some respite from that usual greasy, lank look, as the drying effects of the cold winter air makes their mane look less oily. But nonetheless, it is imperative that everyone should exercise some restraint and care and not allow the vagaries of the harsh winter air to take their toll on the mane. Treating hair with an oil massage once or twice a week is something which one should never forget.Then dip a towel in hot water, squeeze out the water and wrap towel around your head. Keep it on for 5 minutes. Repeat the hot towel wrap three or four times. This helps the hair and scalp absorb the oil better. (Read Oil massage for the hair.) Pure or virgin coconut oil is the best massage oil for this season. The effects of herbal oils such as brahmi(Asiatic pennywort) oil, aloe oil or hibiscus oil are too cooling on the scalp during winters. These oils are more suitable for summer. So they are best avoided in this season, especially if one has sinus problems or asthma. Homemade hair packs and conditioners containing such cooling herbs like henna or brahmi are also to be avoided.
Some tips to protect your hair

Do not let your hair hang loose and wild around your shoulders. Instead, cover your head with a suitable silk scarf (woolen scarves are not good for the hair) while going out to shield it from the harsh climate.

Hairstylist Javed A Habib, says, "Your confidence and walk gets an immense boost, if you have good hair and a good cut. You don't need a BA degree for this. Being a hair doctor, one must know what's the right shampoo for his client, and then do the right cut."This includes treatment of the hair and scalp, styling and cutting. Knowledge about the care and application of hair pieces, and other accessories is essential. "It is important to learn all you can about trichology and hair conditions, so you can immediately recognise porosity, over-bleaching, thermal damage or other hair and scalp problems," adds Habib.
If your hair is blonde, don't forget to add a few drops of lemon juice in order to protect your hair color
Avoidance of processed foods and carbonated drinks or alcohol will prove advantageous for healthy hair growth. By every 6-8 weeks you need to trim the hair-ends in order to avoid the possibility of split ends.
