Winter Hair Care

The dry and cold winter can be extremely damaging to your hair. It can become very dry from the indoor heating and the dry cold weather outside. There are many steps you can take to prevent your hair from damage during the winter months.

• Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind, but make sure it’s not too tight that it restricts your circulation.
• Use a conditioner daily to keep moisture in your hair. After conditioning, run your hair through cold water to give your hair extra shine.
• Don’t go outside with your hair wet. If it’s cold enough your hair will freeze and may break off.
• Limit the use of hot styling tools like blow dryers and curling irons. If you want to use a hot styling tool, use a leave in conditioner before using the styling tool.
• Avoid washing your hair in hot water. Use warm or cool water instead. The heat can dry out and damage your hair and scalp.
• Use a dry shampoo to wash out your hair. For instance, baby powder. Sprinkle some onto your head and use a comb to comb it out. This will leave your hair looking clean and fresh.
