Winter has arrived! Even while we may believe that the summer’s heat and sun damage to our hair may now be repaired, there are still harsh winter weather conditions to take into account. In actuality, both the summer sun and the chilly, dry air of winter may be damaging to our hair. We’ve compiled our best advice for maintaining the health of your hair at this time of year to ensure that you’re constantly experiencing a #GoodHairDay.
- Shampooing fewer times
Due to the reduced humidity in the air throughout the winter, our scalp tends to be drier and may be more prone to itching. Reduce the amount of cleaning to soothe an irritated scalp. Try an anti-dandruff shampoo if you have a dry, flaky scalp to take care of this issue.
- Using Leave In Conditioner & Treatments
Any type of hair will suffer from dry air, therefore the only way to avoid this is to make sure your hair is receiving additional moisture. To revitalise your hair and provide it with long-lasting moisture and nourishment, try utilising a leave-in conditioning treatment. To maintain moisture in the hair and balance oil production, you can also hydrate your hair with an oil or serum at night. Use to strengthen and replace weak hair.
- Reduce the use of heavy heat styling
Split ends and breakage can be caused by too much heat and dryness. Always apply a heat protectant on your hair when styling, and choose a low maintenance hairstyle, like a bun or a braid, to lessen the frequency of heat styling.
- If your hair has become limp, use dry shampoo to give it volume
If you have oily hair, you could notice that throughout the winter your hair becomes even more limp. To extend the time between washings and avoid over-shampooing your hair, try using a dry shampoo.
- Regularly trim your hair
Winter can dry out and break the ends of your hair, whether you have long or short hair. Make sure you’re getting frequent trims at the salon to prevent split ends and keep your hair looking its best throughout the winter.
