Cold, humidity, wind and heating are the main enemies of hair at this time of year. But these weather swings and sudden changes in temperature do not affect all hair equally. Hair seems to have a life of its own. In the same way that each skin reacts in a way, the behavior of the hair also has to do with its own character. A scalp that tends to produce oil does not act the same in winter as dry hair. Therefore the care and precautions must be different.

But with a specific shampoo for oily hair, a better cleaning and a more lasting result is achieved. Wash it as often as you need. The idea that you have to wash it less is a myth, although it is important that you apply the shampoo only once and not massage it vigorously so as not to promote the formation of more oil.
