As the season transitions from monsoon to winter, your hair is bound to respond differently. You may have already begun noticing early signs of dryness, frizz, or a flaky scalp. If you don’t take precautions or address these issues at their slightest appearance, these issues may lead to dull, brittle hair over time, dry and flaky scalp, split ends, hair breakage, and hair fall.
Start your hair care early with simple and natural remedies to strengthen your hair roots, because if the roots aren’t strong enough, the hair won’t be healthy enough.
