Winter has come, so consider arming yourself with the right haircare know-how for a healthy mane that will outshine even the coldest winter days. Read on to know how!
The importance of keeping your hair hydrated
Dropping temperatures and gusts of wind can be really drying for your hair, so make sure you protect your tresses against the elements this winter by keeping your hair well-nourished. Key game-changing factors include keeping washes down to twice a week, always applying a nourishing conditioner after you’ve washed your hair and applying a hydrating mask once every 7-10 days.
Hair oils are great at protecting your hair during the summer, but they also work wonders during the winter too, so consider using an oil on a regular basis as a mini-hair mask before washing your hair.
It’s even more important to schedule frequent appointments with your hairstylist for in-salon treatments as these will help to repair damage, while making your hair shinier, stronger and healthier in general. Speak to your stylist about the different in-salon treatments that are available for your particular hair type.
Stock up on essential hair products this winter
Humidity has a tendency of messing with perfectly good hair, from turning curly hair frizzy to making naturally straight hair flat dull and flat. You’ll probably be hitting the hairdryer and straighteners on a more regular basis over winter to create volume and wave, so be sure to stock up on heat-protection products before using styling tools on your hair.
Spend a bit more time styling your hair so that it lasts and apply a stronghold hairspray to keep your look in place. Give flat hair the added texture it needs with a texturising powder or spray, which works wonders on bedhead and messy looks too.
Armed with the right tools and know-how, you should be able to defend yourself against the cold weather, but if all else fails, there’s always hair gel and the ultra-trendy wet look to help you sail through bad hair days!
