#1: Minimize Shampoo Days

It is almost impossible to have your hair fully clean without shampoo, as it helps to wash off the dirt and styling products. But it also rinses off natural hair oils, crucially useful to keep hair soft and healthy. This is why you should stop using shampoo daily, especially in winter when hair is prone to dryness.

#2: Wear a Hat

The attitude to wearing hats in winter is quite controversial. Some people claim that cold weather helps them increase hair growth (even though medical studies show that this hypothesis is wrong). Others believe that wearing a hat can cause hair loss. One more reason against beanies and hooded jackets is that they can increase frizz and statics.
