During winter, people shift to using more hairdressing items, such as excessive hair dryers, using chemical-rich dry shampoo, etc. These chemically enriched products can harm your hair health, leaving it dry and prone to damage. Stop using them if you want to control your hair fall issues.
Many people think that not washing their hair daily can stop them from falling, but the truth is, this habit can further cause dust buildup on the scalp which can lead to hairfall and early hair greying - especially during the winter.
Washing your hair too often in winter can remove essential oils, making hair dry and weak. Limit hair washing to two or three times a week and use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo. Always follow up with a conditioner to restore moisture and reduce breakage.
