HAIR TIPS FOR WINTER

HAIR TIPS FOR WINTER

Now that the winter months are upon us and the days are much colder, it’s time to start thinking about ways to protect our hair from the damage that the winter elements can cause. Here are three tips that will help you maintain healthy, beautiful hair this season.

One very simple tip is to wear a hat when out as it keeps your hair covered from the wind, rain and snow. But as we all know, no woman wants the “dreaded hat hair.” A great way to avoid this is to wrap your hair in a silk scarf before putting on your cozy, wool beanie. This helps to protect your hair from damage caused by the hat rubbing against your hair and it also cuts down on the static.

During the winter months, it’s a great idea to treat your hair once a week to a deep conditioning treatment. This will help to replenish the moisture, which tends to get depleted from things such as the dry heat in your apartment and the cold winter air. There are many good products that offer quick and easy ways to lock moisture back into your hair.

An alternative is to use a hair oil after you’ve shampooed your hair. It’s like liquid gold for dehydrated or colour-treated hair! This can be used on wet hair to blow-dry in or as a smoother and shine oil on dry hair.

I also find if you can keep washing your hair to a minimum, say two to three times a week, this will prevent your hair from drying out too much. And always make sure you dry your hair before leaving the house. Not only because you will get a cold, but the moisture in your hair combined with the cold air, will add further damage to your hair by making it more brittle and dry.
