Make sure you don’t get a temperature shock when you get home or when you’re going out. If the temperature inside your house or apartment is much warmer than outside it can irritate your skin and scalp.
2. Turn the Hot Water Down
BRRRR… It’s cold, we know! A really hot shower feels so good on a cold weather day. BUT if you wanna care for your scalp, you should turn the temperature of your shower down. Hot water is neither good for your skin or your hair.
Hot water dehydrates your skin and hair. It’s actually like cooking the moisture out of your skin.
Well, to help temper your use of hot water, keep the water heater at the same position all year round OR even better, see if you can edge it down in the fall and winter season.
3. Wash Your Hair to a Minimum
How often are you shampooing? Well, in the cold weather season we found, that if you’re shampooing your hair two or three times a week, you can prevent your hair from drying out too much.
4. Oil Your Hair
During the winter season, your scalp will be drier and that can lead to dandruff and scalp irritation, which in the worst-case scenario can lead to hair fall.
No matter how busy you are, really don’t forget the oil your hair needs. It’s really important to keep your scalp moisturized!
Use olive or coconut oil, massage it into your scalp and leave it in for 20 minutes, and finally rinse it.
5. Double Up On Conditioner
Yup, conditioner is a must! We’ve said it before, conditioning your hair after shampooing should be an important part of your hair routine.
During winter we recommend you to use a deep conditioner plus a leave in treatment, especially for those who are living up North.
