Regular Oiling
Massaging hair and scalp regularly, as in once or twice a week should be a routine in these chilly winter months as natural oils nourish hair roots and strengthen hair follicles by moisturizing the scalp and promoting blood supply in the hair roots. Oils like coconut, jaborandi, argan, Brahmi, almond, sesame, or olive can be applied, and after applying to leave the oil overnight and shampoo it off the next morning for best results.
Shampooing
Excessive shampooing can remove hair from these protective oils as well as the important moisture they provide. Keep the hair washes limited to once or twice a week and should use mild shampoo suitable for hair and scalp type.
Conditioner
Many people simply storm out of the shower after shampooing their hair and miss the very important step of applying a conditioner afterward. One should apply conditioner after shampoo for hair strength and smoothing.

Hot Showers
