Many people prefer hot water for bathing during this season, but excessively hot water can strip moisture from the skin and scalp, leading to dryness. In this video, Dr. Kashish Kalra provides essential insights into proper winter hair care, including the disadvantages of using hot water, the correct method for washing hair during colder months, and practical tips for maintaining healthy hair and scalp. 

Side Effects of Hot Water For Hair

It is advisable to use lukewarm water instead, as it is gentle on the skin and hair. To further protect and hydrate, add 4-5 spoons of coconut oil to a bucket of water to create an emulsion that nourishes the body during bathing. For hair care, applying a small amount of coconut oil to the hair before washing can help retain moisture. After bathing, it is essential to seal the hydration by using a good-quality moisturizer for the skin and a conditioner or hair mask for the hair.
