Winter-Proof Your Hair

This season can be a tricky time when it comes to your hair. The environment is not always the easiest to work with, but having the right routine can make a difference. Give your hair a little extra love during this season and enjoy the coziness it brings.

The first and most important part of a harsh weather routine is moisturizing. The cold and dry months can be rough on your hair, so it's important to take the right steps to protect and take care of it. Cold air and indoor heating can lead to dry and brittle hair, so incorporating a deep conditioner or mask once a week can be life changing. Look for products that focus on hydration. Remember that taking care of your hair means taking care of your scalp. Using a nourishing and hydrating shampoo will also prevent dryness and flaking. 

Your hair might go through a lot of changes with the weather, avoiding heat styling for the most part can be helpful. Adding extra heat to your hair can add to dryness and brittleness. It can be a good time to embrace your natural texture, and when you do apply heat don't forget to use a heat protectant beforehand. 

Trimming your hair regularly can be a great tip to keeping your locks healthy and happy. This is especially important during cold months, because split ends can worsen. Since your hair will be more prone to breakage, using the right brush will keep your hair looking shiny. Always brush gently, especially when your hair is wet. Speaking about dampness, try not to go outside with wet hair, this also promotes breakage. Plus, you will get very cold, very fast.

These months are the perfect time to wear warm hair accessories. When wearing hats and scarves, try to choose the right materials that won't cause hair damage. Satin-lined and silk are always the best options, they will reduce your chances of damage while also reducing friction and static. You can also use a silk pillowcase to help your hair out at night after a cold day.

It’s time to embrace the fun in the cold and enjoy all cozy activities that are in store. Don’t let your hair get in the way!
