One really has to take a lot of care to prevent hair loss in winter as hair is prone to lot of issues in the harsh season. There are various dos and don’ts one needs to follow to get perfectly long, thick and strong hair. Follow our blog to read more on how to grow long hair naturally.
DO’S
- Always use normal or cold water to wash hair. In winters, we generally use hot water which tends to shock the hair follicles and roots thereby weakening them causing hair fall.
- Avoid using a shampoo directly on the scalp as it tends to weaken the hair roots with loads of chemical compounds in it. Instead, make sure to always dilute it with a little water before applying.
- Make sure to massage your hair with any oil (preferably coconut or olive) at least once a week properly to increase blood circulation in the scalp. It keeps the hair follicles, roots and strands clean and strong and helps reducing winter hair fall.
- Always use some good quality serums to use after hair wash. They help in keeping the hair healthy and nourish them from within
- Drink lots of water and eat seasonal fruits and vegetables to gain nourishment for the hair.
DON’TS
- Never use a thin-teeth comb on hair as they tend to break them, leading to massive hair fall. Always use a wide-teeth comb that also help in keeping the blood flow in the scalp regulated.
- Avoid using blow dryers and straighteners very often as they tend to burn the strands
- Avoid using lots of chemicals on hair and rely on natural and organic ways to take care of your hair.
Find Hair Fall Causes In Winter:
1. Stress
  
  Stress is one of the main causes of hair fall, irrespective of any season. Any kind of stress – physical or emotional can have adverse affect leading to baldness as well.
2. Poor Diet
  
  In today’s times when most people like eating fast and junk food, lack of vitamins, minerals and nourishing compounds severely affect the health of hair, leading to extreme hair fall. In winters we tend to eat more fried foods which does lot of harm to hair health.
3. Medical Treatments
  
  Those undergoing medicinal treatments for various ailments are likely to have more hair fall even during winters. Researchers have found that mostly those who are undertaking medicines or going for therapies like Chemotherapy for cancer are likely to lose more hair. Hence, one must ensure a good diet during medication to overcome the losses of nutrition.
4. Alopecia
  
  Alopecia also known as spot baldness is a genetic problem that leads to hair loss in many adults. It usually occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. It can be treated.
