How to care for your scalp and hair at home during colder months
Cleanse and exfoliate your scalp - As winter months are generally cooler and people sweat a lot less, they may reduce the number of times they wash their hair per week. It is important to maintain a cleansing and exfoliating routine so that your scalp is ready to absorb nourishing products such as serums and oils. Exfoliating your scalp also helps to remove dead skin, which invigorates your hair follicles. As a result, you will experience reduced inflammation and improved your hair quality.
Hydrate and nourish your scalp - Massaging your scalp just before washing your hair can be an excellent way to encourage blood circulation and ensure hydration. Choose an anti-inflammatory oil such as extra virgin coconut oil or olive oil to adequately hydrate and nourish dry scalp, improve circulation, and encourage hair growth. Make sure to wash it off with a gently shampoo as oily scalp attracts dust and can be a breeding ground for fungi such as candida or malassezia. On the other hand, you can try RSB Neel Bhringadi Taila, which is an Ayurvedic hair oil that has empirical evidence to treat dandruff, encourage hair growth, and prevent hair loss and greying of hair.
Exercise and drink enough water - Exercise is not only important to look good but it also helps improve metabolism. A lot of skin and hair related issues are related to metabolism and general health. As exercise improves your general health and metabolism, it can have a direct effect on how your hair looks and feels. While you're exercising, it is also important to increase your fluid intake. Drink at least eight glasses of water, and replenish with fluids whenever you sweat excessively. Regular exercising and remaining hydrated will keep your hair healthy, silky and glowing.
Eat nutritious foods - Eating right is crucial to maintaining hair growth and a healthy scalp. Make sure to get enough iron, vitamin A, and biotin through food sources such as flaxseeds, oily fish, kelp, and carrots. Although biotin is easily available in food sources such as nuts, bananas, whole grains, and cruciferous vegetables, some people need supplements to offset deficiencies. RSB Hair Essential Tablets deliver adequate levels of biotin to keep your scalp and hair healthy. In addition, these supplements also contain saw palmetto extract, which is scientifically proven to encourage hair growth.
Work on your stress levels - Stress can have a direct impact on scalp health and hair quality. High levels of stress is known to cause telegenic effluvium, a condition in which hair begins to fall out rapidly. Although this condition is common during periods of illness or as a reaction to certain medications, stress is another major contributing factor. Seeking therapy, exercising regularly, socializing with friends and family, and practicing mindfulness can all reduce your stress levels. Most importantly, a reduction in stress leads to healthy metabolism and general wellness, which reflects on your skin and hair as well.
Get professional help - If your hair loss is unmanageable despite doing all the right things we have listed above, you may need professional help. There are a number of in-clinic treatments that can improve the quality of your scalp and specifically target different kinds of hair loss. Moreover, many of these treatments help you maintain healthy hair that you already have, making it prudent to consider them as soon as you can. For instance, PRP for hair not only addresses severe
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a popular treatment for rejuvenating your skin and scalp. It is known to stimulate hair growth, while maintaining general scalp health.
