Protect Your Hair From Winter
Jack Frost may be nipping at your nose, but winter weather
can be brutal on your hair. This winter, take extra precautions to protect your
hair so it stays healthy and shiny all season.
If you have to go outside, haircareguide.com suggests
covering your hair with a hat or scarf to protect from the wind and cold.
Additionally, avoid going outside with wet hair as it can freeze, which could
lead to breakage.
According to haircareguide.com, items that use heat for
styling should be avoided, if possible, during the winter months as they
deplete hair’s natural moisture and make it more prone to damage. If high-heat
items such as blow dryers or straighteners have to be used, try applying a leave-in
conditioner to your hair before styling.
A recent Teen Vogue article suggests washing your hair less
during the winter months to help retain moisture. If the thought of not washing
your hair every day totally grosses you out, try using a dry shampoo in between
washes to eliminate excess oil.
Additionally, Teen Vogue recommends going to a beauty salon
at least once a month during the winter to get deep conditioning treatments.
Using frizz-ease serums can also help eliminate static associated with hat
hair, etc.
The Lost Girls, a website featuring travel advice from three
girls who embarked on a worldwide adventure, recommends using cooler water to
wash hair as hot water can be damaging. They also suggest using a humidifier
inside as heaters can draw moisture out of hair and make it dry and brittle.
