1. Do not wear woollen hats directly onto your hair- When you wear woollen caps you are making your delicate hair come in direct contact with the harsh woollen material. With the constant rubbing against the harsh wool creates friction and leads to hair breakage, frizziness, etc. To prevent it from happening you should always wear a scarf beneath the cap or hat that you are wearing.

2. Don’t brush wet hair- Naturally air drying your hair in winters can be a task in itself. Your hair takes a much longer time to dry up during winters, thus you should make sure that you are brushing your hair only when they are completely dry. Brushing wet hair can lead to breakage and damaged hair. If you are jiffy and need to brush your hair, then use a detangler or hair serum to loosen up the knots and then brush your hair.
