Last Updated on July 17, 2024 by Team Styl.

It’s almost that time of the year when we switch our winter wardrobe for our summery outfits and change up our hair and skin routines. Changing seasons bring with them a lot of changes for your skin and hair. Humidity and temperature levels are constantly changing as we stand at the cusp of another seasonal change. unfortunately, this is bad news for our hair. During changing seasons, our hair is even more  prone to dryness and damage. And so, it becomes even more important to take care of your tresses at this time. So here are some important hair care hacks that you can follow to keep your hair hydrated and healthy in the coming months.

Hair Care Hacks for Healthy Hair During Changing Seasons

Don’t Forget to Oil Your Hair

Winter weather can draw out the moisture from your hair making it dry and brittle. To avoid that, make sure you get an oil treatment at least once a week. There are many different ways to add oil to your hair care routine. You can use any hot oil for a massage two to three hours prior to your hair wash. You can also go for an oil based leave in formula or a hair mask with argan oil for added nourishment. If your hair still feels dry, use a lightweight oil or an oil based serum on the ends of your hair every night. This should give you healthy, bouncy and luscious tresses.

Make Sure You Have a Healthy Diet

Your body, hair, nails and even your skin needs the right kind of nutrients to look and work its best. While topical treatments are important for your hair to look healthy, what you consume on a daily basis affects your hair the most. So if you want a healthy looking mane, make sure you eat your fruits and veggies. Junk food, especially refined carbs, are one of the leading causes for hair fall. Protein, biotin, vitamin B and C, omega 3, these are all important nutrients for healthy hair. So make sure you include nutrient rich food in your diet. Also make sure you stay hydrated. Drinking enough water can solve many health problems, including dry and damaged hair.

Make Sure you Brush Your Hair Twice a Day

Brushing your hair has more benefits than you can imagine. Both men and women can benefit greatly from brushing their hair. The natural oils and sebum that is produced on your scalp need to reach the ends of your hair too. But it can only do so far down without hair. So when you regularly brush your hair, the natural oils reach each and every strand of your hair. Brushing your hair is also kind of like a massage. It helps stimulate your scalp which leads to healthier, stronger hair growth. This is one of the most important winter hair care tips. Make sure you do a little research on the right kind of brush for your hair type. You can brush your hair twice daily for a good routine, but make sure you do it on dry hair, unless you have curly hair.

Don’t Avoid Washing your Hair

While most of us don’t wash our hair everyday for good reason, delaying your hair wash day too, can do more harm than you can imagine. We all have those days, especially in winters, when we’re too lazy to wash our hair. And so we use dry shampoos and heating tools to avoid hitting the shower. But if you continue down this path, you will inevitably damage your hair. Conditions like dandruff, itchy scalp, slow hair growth are problems associated with lack of hair washing. Figure out a schedule that works for your hair type. Try not to over wash or under wash your hair. But make sure you don’t avoid washing your hair when you can visibly see oil and dirt develop on your scalp.

Deep conditioning is an important step

during changing weather, our hair tends to get extra dry and dehydrated. So one of the most important hair care tips is to include deep conditioning in your routine. Cold winter winds, styling tools and hot water can damage our hair. So once every week, use a deep conditioning mask to nourish your tresses. A deep conditioning mask will hydrate your hair and keep it protected during seasonal changes. Use a mask that suits your hair type and keep it on for at least 15-20 minutes. You can also use a hot towel for a good steam. This will increase the benefits of your hair mask and make it even more nourishing for your hair. Also, post shower, use a leave-in conditioner to pack in all the moisture and keep your hair damage free for longer.

Avoid Using Styling Tools too Much

Our hair is already prone to damage during changing seasons. We don’t need styling tools to make it worse. Heating tools are extremely damaging for your hair. Air drying is best when it comes to winters. Let your hair dry naturally as blow drying strips all the moisture from your hair making it dry and brittle. This also leads to an increase in hairfall. So plan your hair wash days such that you have enough time to allow your hair to dry naturally. Also use this time to experiment with hairstyles like buns, braids and twists that can be done without tools as well. This is a great way to look gorgeous and also avoid damaging your hair.

Protect Your Hair From Static Electricity

Lastly, one of the most important hair care hacks is to protect your hair from static electricity. In winters, when your hair rubs against your woolens, it tends to create static electricity. But that’s not the only cause of your flyaways. Dryness too, can lead to static hair. Individual locks of hair can rub against each other and create that effect. So make sure you keep your hair hydrated and nourished during changing seasons. One of the best ways to keep your hair safe is to keep it covered with a silk cover up or scarf. And if you want to keep your tresses open, use a hydrating shampoo and leave in conditioner.
