Hair becomes brittle and dry in the winters because the cold, low-humidity air strips moisture from the locks. Indoor heating and hot showers escalate this problem. Additionally, as we sweat less in the winter, the scalp’s sebaceous glands produce less moisturising oils. Lack of moisture makes the hair strands less flexible and prone to breaking. Thus, hair becomes dull and lifeless. Try the following Ayur Herbals’ shampoos to restore hydration to your locks in the winter:

1. Ayur Herbals’ Coconut Shampoo: This coconut shampoo constitutes coconut extracts, orange extracts and aloe vera. A natural protein in the hair, keratin, gets depleted by factors such as heat styling, colour treatments and pollution, resulting in weakened tresses. By forming a protective barrier around hair strands, coconut extracts help fight all of these damaging factors, thereby preventing protein and fibre loss. Orange extracts increase blood flow to the scalp, providing an amiable environment for healthier hair growth. The vitamin C present in oranges, a powerful antioxidant, encourages collagen production to strengthen hair structure and curb breakage. Their acidic nature smoothes the hair cuticle, adding glossiness and vibrancy. Orange extracts gently cleanse the scalp without drying it out. They also have antifungal and antibacterial properties that ward off dandruff. The constitution of vitamins A, C and E within aloe vera help in new cell development, leading to healthier hair follicles and thus, lesser hair fall. Aloe vera’s antioxidant constitution can help fight oxidative stressors like UV radiation. Aloe vera naturally deep conditions for smoother hair.

2. Ayur Herbals’ Rosemary Shampoo: Rosemary encourages blood flow to the scalp, enabling nutrients and oxygen to readily reach the hair roots. Prolonged usage can help fortify follicles and prevent premature loss of hair. The anti-inflammatory contents of rosemary help calm the scalp, lessening irritation. Rosemary also helps combat bacteria and fungi that cause dandruff with the help of its antibacterial qualities. These help calm the scalp as well, treating inflammation and itching. Rosemary lessens frizz by smoothing out the cuticles, giving hair nourishment and lustre. Rose petals consist of natural sugars and moisturising composites, which prevent drying and keep the scalp hydrated. This extract also helps treat scalp eczema and psoriasis. Rose petals contain essential vitamins such as vitamin A, B3, C and D; these vitamins help boost collagen production, providing effective protection from environmental damage. Rose petals also contain light organic acids that exfoliate dead skin cells gently, leading to a cleaner and healthier scalp. The acidity in lemon extracts help remove dead skin cells, preventing dandruff. This acidity also helps balance out the scalp’s pH level - preventing over oiliness or over dryness. The vitamin C content of lemons boosts production of collagen, strengthening follicles and encouraging hair growth. Aloe vera cleanses the scalp of impurities gently and maintains the natural strength of your hair throughout this process.

Welcome lustrous hair all year around!
