With the cold weather, hair tends to get dry and dull( even with hot weather).This can be an issue, since a dry scalp can cause hair loss. I am going to share with you some great products and tips to keep your hair beautiful and healthy this winter!
Before I take a shower, I oil my hair. This might seem odd to some of you, while to others might be a normal thing( also depending in which country you are in. I promise you it does help your hair. It gives it that shine again, and helps keep away from dryness. Oiling your hair can also prevent hair loss. I use coconut oil, however olive oil is also good. You can use any cooking oil, or hair oil as I use. You put oil on the palm of my hand and distribute it from the roots till the ends. Give yourself a scalp massage( helps stimulate hair roots) for about 10-15 mins. The longer the better. After doing so, wrap your hair in a towel, or put it in a shower cap. I usual keep it like that for half an hour to one hour. I know some people that keep it like that over night. After that one hour or so, take a shower. Note, if you have oily hair, I don't know how this will react. I have oily hair, but not too oily and it works just fine.
I like using Sunsilk shampoo, it adds shine to my hair and has made it stronger.( Sunsilk for shine and strength.)
Another factor that does affect your hair is how frequent you wash your hair. I know you probably have all heard about this before,and maybe don't believe it.( I did not before). If you wash your hair everyday, it will cause hair loss, and cause your hair to become dull. We all produce natural oils and they are essential for our hair. I recommend, if you have oily hair to make your hair wash pattern alternate( wash your hair one day, then the next you don't..the the next day you do..etc.). I also like combing my hair with a thick tooth comb, it has avoided tangles for me.
Last but certainly not least... have a healthy diet!! The food you eat determines what hair you have! It is like that for everything. "we are what we eat". I know, we have heard that a lot..any many times ignore it. Try to avoid soft drinks , fried food,and fast food. Eat more fish, meat, veggies and milk. These foods will help your hair look healthier.
I hope this post will be some help, and hopefully provide new tips for you!
Talk to all of you soon!

| This is the coconut oil I use. Its brand is Vatika. I know there are a few others that are helpful such as Nile, and Amla. There are many different kinds of oils,but coconut oil has been the most helpful to me and a lot of other people I know. |

| Extra virgin Olive oil. Indeed, very good for you. If you don't have access to the coconut oil, you can use olive oil and it will be just as helpful. Use only one of them though. |

| This is probably my favorite shampoo in this planet. It has great results and smells AMAZING! Seriously. I have recommended this to many people I have known with dry hair/ and or hair loss. and it has worked great! Even if you don't have dry hair or hair loss..and just want to try a new shampoo..try this one. It is great! |
