Tips to Naturally Treat Dry, Damaged, and Tired Hair

As seasons change, your hair might start reminding you that it needs a little extra love and care. You may notice it looking dull and dry, with split ends making an unwelcome appearance. This often happens because the chilly air zaps moisture from your hair, leaving it thirsty and lacking vitality. Alternatively, dry, hot weather and outdoor activities can also put stress of hair health. But fear not! There are easy and convenient ways to naturally treat and protect your hair, ensuring that you maintain beautiful, healthy, and shiny locks all year long.

How to Treat Common Hair Issues

Dry Hair:

To replenish moisture, try a honey and organic Argan Oil mask. Mix ½ cup of raw organic honey with 1 tablespoon of Ohm Moroccan Argan Oil. Apply this mixture to clean, damp hair and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Rinse it out and shampoo as usual.

Loss of Shine:

If your hair has lost its natural shine, enhance your shampoo by adding 1 tablespoon of organic lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar once a week. This will help restore its luster.

Dry, Frizzy Split Ends:

An egg mask can work wonders! Whisk 1 egg yolk and mix it with 3 tablespoons of organic olive oil and 1 tablespoon of organic raw honey. Work this mixture through damp hair and leave it on for about 30 minutes. Rinse it out with your favourite natural shampoo for improved texture and shine.

Dandruff:

If you're dealing with itchy, flaky dandruff, try adding a few drops of organic tea tree oil and 1 teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar to your shampoo. Use this treatment regularly until the dandruff clears up.

Hair Loss:

For a nourishing hair mask, mix 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil with 2 drops each of rosemary and peppermint essential oils. Warm the coconut oil slightly until it melts, then add the essential oils. Apply this mask after shampooing and leave it on for as long as possible before rinsing with a gentle shampoo.

Our Top 10 Tips for Healthy Hair!

1. Weekly Hair Mask: Use a weekly hair mask with virgin organic coconut oil, sweet almond oil, baobab oil, or neem oil to restore moisture to your hair and scalp.
2. Avoid Damp Hair Outdoors: Try not to go outside with damp hair, especially in winter, as the cold air can expand your hair shaft, leading to breakage and split ends.
3. Protective Lining for Hats: If you wear wool or cotton hats, consider lining them with silk or satin to prevent friction and wear on your hair.
4. Rinse with Cool Water: While hot showers feel great, hot water can dehydrate your hair. Always finish with a cool rinse to lock in moisture.
5. Use Natural Products: Choose chemical-free shampoos and conditioners, as conventional products can strip your hair of its natural oils.
6. Add Supplements: Consider incorporating supplements like tissue salts for skin, hair, and nails, which support collagen formation - essential for healthy hair and skin.
7. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Don’t forget to drink plenty of water! Your hair still needs hydration in winter, and it may actually require even more moisture during this time.
8. Limit Heat Styling: Try to minimise the use of heat styling tools. If you do use them, apply a heat protectant to shield your hair.
9. Trim Regularly: Regular trims help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking fresh and healthy.
10. Protect Overnight: Consider using a silk or satin pillowcase or hair wrap to minimise friction while you sleep, which can help reduce frizz and breakage

By following these tips and incorporating natural treatments, you can give your hair the care it needs to thrive! With a little attention and the right ingredients, you’ll be on your way to maintaining beautiful, healthy hair all winter long!
