Winter Hair; Hints & Tips
It’s cold, very cold indeed, colder that we have felt it for a few years. You will probably have noticed your skin has dried out a little, and your lips might have become slightly chapped. It’s looking like we are in for a long winter with temperatures dipping way below seasonal averages. The cold snap is dragging out the moisture from your skin, and at the same time it’s doing it to your hair, so here’s a few hints and tips to help replenish the moisture levels and help keep your locks in tip top condition.
1: When shampooing your hair, gently massage the product through the lengths and ends, this will keep the outer structure smooth, this in turn locks in the moisture that keeps your hair feeling healthy.
2: Condition every time you shampoo. Once you have rinsed the shampoo from your hair, gently squeeze the excess moisture out with your hands and then apply conditioner, leave for at least 3 minutes before rinsing out.
3: Give your hair a power packed treatment at least once every 3rd shampoo. Liberally apply to your hair, wrap a damp towel round your head and leave for 10 minutes or more.
4: Always towel dry by patting your hair rather than vigorously rubbing it dry with the towel. This helps keep your hair smooth, locking in the essential nutrients.
5: Use styling product to blow dry, and heat defence products when straightening or curling your hair. As well as doing the job they are designed to do, styling and protective products help protect your hair from the elements as well.
6: make sure the products you are using are suitable for your hair.
