Combat Winter Dryness.
As winter settles in, many of us notice our hair becoming increasingly dry and brittle. At Organic Ministry, we understand the challenges that the colder months bring to your hair care routine. Here’s why your hair tends to dry out in winter and how you can combat it by adding moisture back in.
Why Does Hair Get Dry in Winter?
During winter, the air has significantly lower humidity levels, both indoors and outdoors. This lack of moisture in the air leads to drier skin and hair. Cold winds outside further strip moisture from your hair, making it prone to dryness and brittleness. To make matters worse, indoor heating systems, though essential for staying warm, reduce indoor humidity, exacerbating dryness.
Hot showers, a common comfort during the colder months, can strip the natural oils from your hair and scalp, essential for maintaining hydration. Increased static electricity and cold winds can also contribute to hair dryness and damage, while frequent washing to combat hat hair or greasiness from wearing winter hats can strip your hair of its natural oils.
How to Combat Winter Dryness
The key to combating winter dryness is to add moisture back into your hair with hydrating products and protective measures. Here are some tips from Organic Ministry:
Use a Humidifier: Adding a humidifier to your indoor space can help maintain moisture levels in the air, preventing your hair from drying out.
Opt for Lukewarm Showers: Hot showers may feel great, but lukewarm water is much kinder to your hair and helps retain its natural oils.
Hydrating Hair Products: Choose shampoos and conditioners designed for dry hair. Look for products with natural moisturising ingredients to help lock in hydration. We recommend EverEscents Organic Cinnamon Patchouli Deep Treatment.
Leave-In Conditioners and Hair Oils: These products can provide an extra layer of moisture and protection, especially useful during the dry winter months. Check out Davines Oi Oil for instant hydration.
Avoid Over-Washing: Washing your hair too frequently can strip away essential oils. Use dry shampoo to extend the time between washes and keep your hair looking fresh.
