Winter Hair Hacks You Need to Know NOW!

Winter can do such a number on your hair, leaving behind breakage, split ends, static, frizz, and a dry scalp, none of which has any appeal at all.  Indoors, forced heating dries out your hair and scalp, while outdoors it’s cold and windy, meaning a hat is an absolute must, even if that entails fly-aways and brittle hair.  No, you don’t have to suffer to be beautiful and freeze in the process, but you do need to take precautions and be proactive to protect your hair from the elements.  Wear the hat!

Here are the top tips for maintaining your hair through the winter, damage-free with luster and shine:

Begin by washing your hair a maximum of twice a week using lukewarm water as hot water strips your hair strands of the oils that seal and protect the shafts, exposing them to damage.  Towel-dry by simply patting the hair rather than squeezing it or combing it as this will exacerbate any damage you have already. Follow up by blow-drying your hair using a wide-toothed comb and your fingers rather than a brush at first, and setting the blow dryer on warm.  Finish up by drying your hair with a well vented brush that contains both synthetic and boar bristles, using the dryer on the cool setting to lock in shine. Invest in a humidifier at home to help maintain the moisture levels in both your skin and hair during the winter months.  Getting a regular trim will remove any damaged ends and give your hair movement and an over-all healthy look.

Using the same hair products in winter that you use in summer will go against every effort you make with your hair.  The scalp in winter can often be more dry and flaky so using a moisture-retaining shampoo will reduce build-up and lift your hair at the roots for more volume.  Try: Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Moisture Balancing Shampoo.

Fight hair static with a leave-in conditioner that contains humectants for moisture retention.  Try: Ouidad Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner.

Hair oil conditions the hair strands, replenishing and sealing in moisture for shine.  Argan Oil is an amazing moisturizing ingredient found in both skincare and hair care products.  Try: MoroccanOil Original Treatment

Once a week apply a hair mask to restore shine and to deep condition your hair.  Try: Fekkai Intensive Fortifying Masque Indulgent Repair.

Beautiful winter hair is completely possible if you take a bit of extra care by using the appropriate products and caring for your locks – you will thank yourself in Spring!
