Winter though is the perfect time for parties, get – together’s, sipping on hot tea and frolicking in the snow; it can be a difficult time for your hair. Winter has everybody stocking up on creams and oils and lip balms, but hair care somehow is always neglected. Just because you can’t see hair drying up as visibly as skin, doesn’t mean it doesn’t need special care during winter.

The cold winter air can dry up all the moisture from your hair and have them looking all dull and limp. Here are some must-do’s and definitely –not’s for your hair this winter:

• Try and wear a scarf or a cap as much as possible when out to limit the damage of cold winter air to your hair.
• Avoid chemical treatments like colouring, streaking or curling during this time, as hair is more susceptible this time of the year.
• Try and restrict the use of shampoos in winter as they can cleanse out the oils from your scalp. Don’t forget to use a conditioner every time after you shampoo.
• Try and use lukewarm water while shampooing, hot water can further dry out your hair.
• Use moisture rich oils and gently massage into hair, ideally after warming up the oil. Ideal time to oil your hair and step out, as you will be wearing a scarf or a cap!
• Restrict the use of blow dryers, they will further dry out your hair and make them brittle.
