Winter Hair Fall and Frizz: An Ayurvedic Hair Care Routine That Works
Dry scalp, flyaway frizz and more hair on your comb are common winter complaints. Cold air, hot showers and woollen caps all take a toll on your hair. A simple routine with Ayurvedic hair care products can help: a herbal hair oil, a gentle natural shampoo, a nourishing conditioner and a light serum. In this guide, we explain why hair struggles in winter and walk you through a four-step Ayurvedic hair care routine, with product picks for each step. Some extra shedding in winter is common, but see a doctor if it is sudden or heavy.
Why Does Hair Suffer in Winter?
Dry air pulls moisture out of hair.
Hot water dries the scalp.
Caps and scarves cause friction and frizz.
Indoor heating makes hair brittle.
Step 1: Oil Your Scalp
Oiling is the heart of Ayurvedic hair care. A herbal hair oil massaged into the scalp once or twice a week nourishes the roots. Khadi Rosemary Hair Oil 200ml is a ready-to-use rosemary hair oil made with amla and bhringraj.
You can also boost your regular hair oil with Rosemary Essential Oil 10ml. Add 2-3 drops per tablespoon of oil, and never apply the essential oil undiluted. Do a patch test first, keep it away from your eyes, and check with your doctor if you are pregnant.
Step 2: Cleanse with a Gentle Shampoo
Choose a mild herbal shampoo or natural shampoo that cleans without drying. The Khadi Hair Shampoo with Conditioner comes in a 1 litre pack for daily use.
Coffee SLS Paraben Free Shampoo 200ml: a coffee shampoo made without SLS and parabens, for regular use.
Sandal Honey Shampoo 10ml: a sandal honey shampoo in a travel-friendly size.
Keratin & Argan Oil Shampoo 200ml: a shampoo made for dry, frizzy hair.
You’ll find these herbal hair care products online at Davaindia.
Step 3: Condition Every Wash
Conditioner seals moisture into the hair shaft. Khadi Veda Conditioner Keratin Argan Oil Hydrating 200ml is a keratin argan oil conditioner made for dry, frizzy hair, which makes it a good hair conditioner for dry hair in winter.
Step 4: Finish with a Herbal Hair Serum
A few drops of an anti frizz hair serum on damp ends smooth flyaways and add shine.
Hair Serum Herbal Khadi 50ml: a herbal hair serum in a handy size.
Hair Serum Herbal 100ml: a larger pack for regular use.
