It is winters already and we all should collectively admit that washing hair during winters is really a task. But for healthy hair, it is important that you wash your hair at least thrice a week. However, during winters you must take extra care of your hair and along with that make some tweaks in your hair washing regimen since that is the first step to hair care. Here are a few tips that you should keep in mind while washing your hair during winters.

1. Use only lukewarm water to wash your hair: We know it is winters and warm water feels so soothing these days but doesn't make the mistake of using even tolerable hot water. Use slightly lukewarm water only. Hot water tends to make hair strands brittle and therefore weak from its follicles.

2. Go for co-washing: Winters tend to make your dry and in case you have dry hair already, shampoos only tend to make hair even drier. For better-moisturised hair go for co-washing or conditioner washing which means washing your hair only using the conditioner. But if you have thin hair and oily scalp use try using sulphate-free mild shampoos.
