As winter grips, hair woes intensify—shedding, dullness, slowdowns. Why? Cold weather disrupts the trifecta of hair health: nourishment, hydration, circulation. Ayurveda and science unite in warning against seasonal slip-ups.
Caps and mufflers, while practical, grind against hair, fostering breakage and retarded growth. Strands emerge feebler, barely inching longer.
Diminished sun equals vitamin D drought. Follicles idle without this activator; growth crawls, loss escalates. Ayurveda’s remedy: soak in gentle rays to infuse vitality.
Arid winds dehydrate relentlessly. Scalps flake, roots starve—studies link low humidity to structural fragility and thinning.
Hot water rituals erode oils, fraying cuticles. Heat appliances seal the deal, weakening further and impeding length.
Chilled scalps constrict vessels, rationing oxygen to follicles. Result: snaps, falls, fragility.
Counter with strategy. Loose fabrics over tight ones, scalp oils against dryness, tepid rinses, minimal tools, headstands or massages for flow. Emerge from winter with lush, resilient hair.
