The winter season, marked by a drop in temperature, cosy sweaters and hot chocolate, also spells bad news for your hair. Since the cold air can suck out moisture from your hair, making them appear dry and brittle, here are some simple, age-old ways to prevent hair loss this winter:

While your instinct must be to rush for your fancy shampoo or pop some supplement, don’t! A simple warm oil massage can nourish the scalp, strengthen hair roots, and help prevent hair fall. Oil your hair at least once or twice a week with the oil of your choice like coconut, almond, or castor.

Consumption of the unrefined natural sweetener has a number of benefits like boosting the digestive system, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and since jaggery is rich in iron it also prevents hair loss.
5.
Amla or the Indian gooseberry is considered a miracle for hair care, right from controlling hair fall to reducing dandruff. It is recommended that you take one amla shot in the morning or eat it as it is. You can also opt for massaging your hair with warm Amla oil.
6.
While it is important to stay hydrated in general, drinking plenty of water can keep your hair well-hydrated and prevent split ends and brittle hair, particularly during winter.
7.
Nasya is a sort of nasal therapy which involves putting drops of lukewarm sesame oil or ghee into each nostril. It prevents hair fall and promotes hair growth by improving blood circulation and nourishing the hair follicles.
