Just the way our skin requires special care in winter, hair does too. It frizzes more, and what is worse is there's static electricity in the air. Talk about a bad hair season!

Condition your mane

Winter takes away natural moisture, and can dry up your scalp pretty easily. Keeping your hair well conditioned will make sure your hair isn't dry. Dry hair is unhealthy so take extra care this winter.

Moisturise

Make sure your hair is hydrated enough. If you can't condition it daily, just wash it with cold water everyday (brrrr, its cold but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do for the sake of fashion).

It's the perfect way to ensure that the weather doesn't dry your scalp.

Oil your hair

Oiling your hair is a great habit and the best hair care solution in the winter. It works better than conditioners and locks moisture in so that your hair doesn't dry up.

Down with dandruff

Dry hair leads to dandruff especially in the winter. Rub a piece of lemon through your hair to get rid of dandruff. You could also use anti-dandruff shampoos to solve your problem.

Keep it covered

It is especially windy during the winter, so keeping your hair covered will protect it. What's more, sweaters, scarves and hats can cause damage to your hairline.

So, since hair breaks easily cover your hair with a silk scarf to protect it.

Keep the heat out

If it's very cold, limit use blow dryers, straighteners and curlers.

If you have must use an appliance, condition your hair first - the sudden use of heat in cold weather can make hear weak.

Take a little extra care of your hair during winter, and you can avoid several "hair-raising" situations!
