Stressed hair usually indicates brittle, dry or damaged hair that is primarily affected due to excess hair styling or harsh environmental issues. The condition of stressed hair becomes even worse during winter when weather is extremely cold accompanied by icy winds. Hence, it is vital to give your hair special care in winter. First of all, keep away from shampoos and conditioners containing harmful ingredients such as sulfates, as it will damage your hair by stripping off hair’s protective layers as well as natural oil.

As far as possible, stick on to the use of natural shampoos and conditioners with aloe vera extracts, hemp seed oil and coconut oil derivatives. One of the common problems associated with stressed hair is split ends, and the use of products such as Joico K-PAK Split End Mender and AG Colour Care Split End Spa Repair Serum will provide extra nourishment to your hair while mending and reducing the incidence of split ends as well as hair breakages. Additionally, deep condition your hair once in every week using olive oil, jojoba oil or coconut oil. This in turn will not only hydrate and cleanse your hair but also add to its strength and suppleness.

Above all, before venturing out into the harsh icy weather, make sure that you put on a silk scarf or a hat to protect your hair from the negative effects of extreme coldness.
