The dry and cold winter sometimes is very damaging for your hair. Hair and skin easily becomes dry during this season of the year, from the dry indoor heating and the dry cold weather outside. If preventative steps are not taken during this season, your hair can get damaged. To ensure that your hair does not get damaged here are some Tips by one of the leading hair stylist "Nadeem Ahmed", who has earned distinctions in the Limca book of records by cutting hair with fire, papercutters, glass and even blindfolded.
During the winter season, natural haircare requires some change and it also requires a little extra attention to the elements of the weather that can harm your hair.
1. It is always good to cover your hair with a scarf (a Silk scarf is best) or cap. Yeah, you can also wear that Monkey Cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind, but always keep in mind that if its too tight it can stop the blood circulation of your scalp.
2. Deep conditioning can help heal damaged hair and protect it. It also coats the strands and fills in the hair cuticle, thus making the hair stronger.
3. Hot oil massages, especially with olive oil, it will soothe the nerves of your scalp and is highly effective for most of the hair problems.
4. Most of the people I have seen do lots of over shampooing and some under conditioning as they feel it will prevent their hair from getting damaged, but its just opposite - it damages the hair more. It actually makes your hair dry and frizzy, so I recommend shampooing two to three times a month. Also make sure you wash your hair with lukewarm water since hot water makes the hair dry.
5. Conditioners are a must after every wash especially for dry and thick hair and if the hair is very dry and lifeless go for a deep conditioning treatment in any good salon. They have lot of treatments.
6. Sometimes serums are also useful but make sure it is of good quality. Just take two to three drops of the serum and rub your palms together and just apply it strand by strand for better results.
7. Add moisture to your hair, It is very necessary if any chemical treatment like color, highlights or perming has been done on your hair. Look for a conditioner with cetyl alcohol as it one of the best moisturizing agents and is derived from coconut. Another ingredient to look for is cetearyl alcohol. But if your hair is very damaged or dry always have moisturizing shampoo in your bathroom.
8. Dont use lots of hot stuff on your hair like blow dryers, roller sets or curling irons but if it very necessary then make sure to use a leave-in conditioner before using any of these items on your hair.
That's it, these are few good tips and we are sure that it will be beneficient for your beautiful tresses. But hey dont forget to thanx Nadeem after you have those beautiful shining hair, visit him at http://zulfmakers.8m.com
