The cold air can also leave your scalp flaky, hair frizzy dry and dull. Your hair needs extra attention so that the condition doesn’t worsen leading to hair shedding during winter.

Before you rush to the store in search of moisturizing mask and deep conditioners, think about going the natural way.

Below are my personal favourite hair oils to keep hair moisturized and healthy during winter.

Akshaya’s Panchagavya Hair Oil

This brand has something to do with the sacred cows, that too Desi Cows- meaning Indian cows. Panchagavya hair oil has great abilities to nourish hair and enhance the length and beauty of the tresses.

This oil is processed in the most traditional manner ever known in India. Several herbal extracts, including Panchagavya Girth and Bringharaja, are processed in cow milk. This makes the product magical and acts as a miracle oil doe hair care during winter.

Mix of oils

Mixing the natural oils in equal ratio for scalp massaging isn’t a bad idea. The mixture will increase the goodness and benefits of all the oils included.

Pick the bottles of hair oils as per your choice (2, 3, or all of your favourites) and pour 2 spoon each of it in a bowl and mix well. Warm it for a few seconds if needed before massaging. Allow it to sit for an hour and wash with mild shampoo and warm water. For deep conditioning and nourishing, leave the oil over night.
