Have you ever thought about what winter puts your hair through? Probably not- most people don’t, but your hair has to deal with cold dry air outside as well as dry indoor heat. The result of this rollercoaster ride is a dried out scalp, parched tresses, split ends, and frizz. Our easy to follow tips from the pros will help revamp your hair care routine to keep your hair healthy all winter long.
Healthy Hair Starts With a Healthy Scalp
Being hidden underneath your hair your scalp often ends up neglected. But if you want a healthy head of hair, you have to start by taking care of your scalp. The dry cold and heat suck moisture from your scalp leaving it dry, flaky, and itchy. A dry scalp cannot provide the natural oils your hair needs. Our Scalp Renew Treatment is a great way to ensure your scalp is well moisturized to build a foundation for healthy hair, and a scalp nourishing conditioner can help maintain scalp health between appointments.
Take Cooler Showers and Limit Heat Styling
Hot showers feel amazing on chilled achy joints, but they don’t leave your hair feeling amazing. Hot water strips your hair’s natural oils and opens the cuticle causing frizz and further moisture loss. Heat styling causes similar damage. Showering with cooler water and sticking with no heat hairstyles will go a long way towards keeping moisture where it’s needed for smoother, healthier strands.
Treat Your Hair to a Weekly Hair Mask
Conditioning your hair daily may not be enough during the driest months of the year. Treating your hair to a weekly deep conditioning mask will give your hair the moisture boost it needs to keep it hydrated and healthy. It will be so touchably soft you won’t be able to stop running your fingers through it.
