Winters always remind us of dryness of skin and scalp. We need to keep our hair and scalp clean and moisturised. During this season extra care needed to avoid frizz and hair breakage. 

One can improve the health of hair and scalp by choosing to opt for hair massage treatment at least once in a week. Here is a formula of an excellent aromatherapy hair oil for relieving itchy scalp and dandruff. It can be used daily or used weekly as a massage treatment.

JOJOBA OIL – 50ml

Lavender Oil – 10 drops

Rosemary Oil – 10 drops

Lemon Oil – 10 drops

Make a blend and apply the treatment oil on the scalp atleast 30minutes before you shampoo your hair. Do remember to use a sulphate free shampoo. Initially use it every time before you shampoo and subsequently reduce to once in a fortnight.

Apple cider vinegar rinse is miraculous cure for dandruff. Add one tablespoon of vinegar to one litre of water and pour it over the scalp. This rinse should be done every time you shampoo your hair.

One can also make hair lotion at home and can apply to the hair every day. This hair lotion helps to protect hair from damaging elements that strip hair of natural ois subsequently making them dry and flaky. 

Hair treatment mask- 50ml

Aqua – 30ml

Almond oil – 10ml

Jojoba oil – 10ml

Rosemary oil- 10ml

Ginger oil – 10ml

Peppermint oil- 10ml

Mix all the above ingredients and store them in a recyclable bottle. Every time take a tiny amount on the tips of fingers and spread it all over hair and scalp. Then using palm of your hair smoothen it out throughout your hair.

Lastly During winters please avoid using water based hair gels as they make scalp dry and flaky. Use hair creams instead that are enriched with organic oils and conditioners.
