Homemade Treatments And Tips For Winter Hair

With the arrival of winter all skin and hair problems start worrying you. Winter needs extra nourishment for the hair or otherwise your hair becomes prone to the bad weather. Dry and brittle hair, dandruff, hair fall, hair damage are common during winters. Yet the remedies are handy to protect the lustrous locks. IBT brings you a few most effective homemade treatments and tips for winter hair.

Tips to protect your hair:

• After a continuous use, your hair care regimen loses their effectiveness. Your hair gets too accustomed to your regular hair care regimen and gets desensitized to the active ingredients needed for keeping it protected. So it is a good idea to break up your hair routine every few weeks by using an alternate shampoo and conditioner for a day or two. This really can make a huge difference on how your hair looks and feels, and you can fall in love with your favorite products all over again.
• Keep the split ends trimmed and treat them carefully.
• Spend more on best conditioners. Good conditioners make a lot of difference.
• Use apple cider vinegar the same way as you use a conditioner at least twice a week for the shine boost.
• Mix virgin coconut oil with equal parts lime juice. Apply liberally, cover with a shower cap and leave in for at least 15 minutes. Shampoo as usual. Use this hair treatment at least once a week to protect your hair from getting damaged and also to restore the damaged hair.
