Welcome to the time when freezing winds, dry air and chilled temperatures together leave no stone un-turned to make you 'feel the frizz' and your blankets do not let you head to the salon! Winter season is synonymous to the season of dryness and that's why winter hair care isn't that easy. The lack of humidity and the imbalance in temperature - cold outside and warm indoors - make our hair dry, frizzy and unmanageable. De-tangling dry hair is also very cumbersome and leads to hair fall, which further reduces the volume of your hair. Winters bring along a season of parties and it's not only difficult for our wallets and tight schedules to manage a salon visit every time before a party but also for our hair to bear the chemical products and acute heat. Moreover, equipment like dryers and straighteners add up dryness and make the hair condition even worse. But, fret not! Here are some wonderful winter hair care home remedies to get rid of frizz this winter at home.
