Worried about hat hair? Who cares? Covering your hair with that stylishly knotted scarf or wearing that slightly tilted hat, not only adds to your style quotient but it also solves the dual purpose of protecting your hair from the tight grasps of moisture robbing winds. The environmental elements that are synonyms with winters, like snow, rain, strong winds etc., draw out all the moisture from your hair, damaging them and making them more susceptible to breakage. Using a satin or silk lined hat or a similar fabric scarf prevents hair damage. The use of wool, or cotton can also leech away the hydration from your hair.

• Avoid hot showers 

I know, I know! Just the very thought of bathing without steaming hot water is enough to send a chill up your spine. The very idea of washing your mane, without hot water can be petrifying. But scalding water, zaps away all the moisture from your hair, making them vulnerable to breakage. Try having a shower with lukewarm water instead; and don’t forget to use cool water for a final rinse. 

• Avoid hot styling products tools 

Using a warm hair dryer is such a lifesaver during the frigid winter months. But using any heated styling tools like a blow-dryer, hair iron or hair curlers leads to high moisture loss, resulting in frizz and static induced frayed hair. Heat makes your hair highly prone to split ends and also damages your hair cuticles, resulting in breakage. Towel dry your hair using a micro fiber towel and let it air dry. Winters are usually harsh on your hair. Your hair needs a lot of TLC and just a wee bit of effort to keep your locks happy and healthy.
