Chilly winds signal winter, but they also spell trouble for your tresses. Complaints of hair loss and thinning surge this season. Both Ayurveda and science pinpoint nutrition gaps, moisture loss, and circulation issues as culprits behind sluggish growth.
First mistake: tight woolen caps. They trap heat and cause friction, leading to knots and snaps. Hair length stalls as strands weaken from constant abrasion.
Second: dodging sunlight. Less UV exposure means less vitamin D, essential for follicle vitality. Indoor hibernation creates deficiencies that stunt roots and boost shedding. Step out for 10-15 minutes daily—Ayurveda swears by it for hair vigor.
Third: dry ambient air. Low humidity saps moisture, drying out scalps and brittle-izing shafts. Studies confirm it alters hair’s protein bonds, thinning them out.
Fourth: scalding baths. Hot water strips sebum, opening cuticles to damage. Pair it with heat tools, and you’re frying follicles, slowing regrowth.
Fifth: ignored circulation. Cold contracts scalp vessels, blocking nutrient highways. Mid-shaft breaks and fallout follow.
Revamp routines now. Choose breathable headwear, moisturize deeply, limit heat styling, and stimulate blood flow with massages. Watch your hair rebound stronger through the frost.
