The cold, dry winter air coupled with harsh indoor heating can wreak havoc to your hair, leaving them dry, limp and prone to static. Here are a few no-cost tricks to beat the winter hair blues.

Shampoo less. Are your locks super dry? Unless you have super oily hair, skip shampoo entirely and just use conditioner.

Leave conditioner in. Don’t rinse out conditioner completely. Leaving a bit in will double as a leave-in conditioner.

Avoid hot showers. We know it’s cold out, but don’t do it. It can worsen a flaky scalp and make strands rougher and harder to manage. Wash with warm water instead.

Control static. Spritz hairspray directly onto a natural-bristle brush, then smooth it through hair from root to tips.

Prevent hat hair. Before putting on your hat, sweep hair into a high ponytail on top of the head. That way, when the hat comes off, your roots will still be lifted.
