Hair & Scalp Tips to make it through Winter
The Winter months can be tough on your hair & scalp. The air outside is colder & when you are inside you are normally in heating, so it is drier. We also tend to have the water hotter in the shower, which isn’t good for the hair & we still do all our normal styling with our hot tools.
Even though winter can be brutal on your hair, you can do a few things to ensure you still have amazing hair & no flaky scalp, here’s some tips to help you & your hair make it through this season.
- Avoid styling products with alcohol during the winter because alcohol is drying to the hair, lots of moisture & cream based thermal protector
- Make sure you don’t leave your hair wet & cold. When hair’s wet it’s more vulnerable and prone to break. Why’s that? The water droplets left in hair can enter the hair shaft & when the water gets too cold it swell the shaft
- If you have a little bit of dry scalp, try have your shower a little bit cooler when washing your hair & invest in a good shampoo to help with dry scalp but won’t strip your colour
- Try & gently towel dry your hair before using a blow-dryer, taking as much moisture out of your hair beforehand, and then try not to over dry your hair.
- It’s important to ensure you are getting extra vitamins in winter that help your hair & skin, such as Iron, vitamin D, vitamin C & omega-3
- Go a little bit darker for winter, as much as we love bright blonde, toning it down a little bit & giving your hair a break from lightening will help a lot.
- Do overnight oil treatments on your hair & scalp, This will work wonders on your scalp & your hair, leaving them both really moisturised.
