Winter Hair Care Guide To Deal With Oily Scalp And Strands

It might sound a bit weird, but many experience oily hair in winter. Even after frequent washes, it is a struggle to manage greasy strands. However, you don’t have to fret anymore. This article will tell you how to manage oily strands in chilly weather.

Why Does Hair Get Oily In Winter?

Contrary to myths, our scalp continuously secretes oil in winter. If you do not regularly wash your hair, they become greasy, and dirt starts to accumulate on the locks as well as the scalp.

Moreover, woollen clothes in this weather add dust and dirt to the scalp, which makes locks appear greasier than ever because the oil gets trapped in the dermal layer.

How To Get Rid Of Oily Hair In Winter

• It is recommended to not wear your locks in a tight hairdo. It is better to style them loosely in a braid, messy bun, or half a ponytail.
• Keep the combs clean. You might often find dirt accumulated on the insides of teeth of combs or strands hanging off brushes. You must clean them frequently.
• Wash hair at least twice a week. It will help to rinse off the oil, dirt and dust.
• Use clean pillow covers. When you sleep, you rest your head on a pillow, if the cover is dirty, it will also add dirt to your hair.
• Brush hair often. If you comb your hair every day or twice a day, it will help to distribute oil across the length and prevent strands from sticking together.
• Use clarifying shampoo. If a mild shampoo does not work for you, use a clarifying shampoo once a week to deeply clean your scalp and get rid of oil.
• Avoid touching hair frequently. When you touch your locks or scalp quite often, you risk transferring unwanted dust, which will make your locks appear greasy.
• Try a hot oil massage. If you experience dandruff and oily locks, you can try a hot oil massage followed by washing your hair with a mild shampoo.
