Our hair is exposed to a lot more varied temperatures during the Winter months as we move between indoor heating and the cold outside. We also tend to use our hairdryers a bit more during the colder months. All these hot and cold changes can have a serious impact on the condition and health of your hair. Check out my top tips below for keeping your hair in a great condition throughout the Winter months.
Is your hair feeling a bit drier than usual? There’s actually a very good reason for this. As the temperature drops, so does the moisture level in the air which can make our hair feel a lot drier than usual. If your hair is starting to feel a bit like straw it’s time to put some moisture back into your hair with a moisturising shampoo and conditioner or serum. Even better, get ahead of this happening by adding a deep conditioning treatment to your weekly haircare routine.
Just like your skin, your scalp can often feel dry and itchy during the colder months so it’s important to boost and replace lost moisture. However, your drier flakier scalp could also be a result of not brushing your hair often enough. It’s important to give your hair a good vigorous brush every day to help remove dead skin layers. Invest in a good paddle brush which is the softest option for pushing against your scalp.
Split ends occur all year round but are particularly common in the cooler or hotter months. The only real way to truly deal to your split ends is to get your haircut. But all is not lost if you are trying to grow your hair you can always get your hair dusted which involves removing the tiniest amount of hair without impacting the overall length.
One of the coolest things about the colder weather is that you can get away with wearing a hat as part of your daytime look. Extend the length of time between washes by donning a hat. Reducing the number of times you wash your hair in the Winter give your hair a chance to replenish and replace some of its natural oils and moisture.
With all the extra pressures that Winter puts on your hair, why not treat yourself to a scalp massage. Massaging your scalp not only helps to remove build-up of hair products and dead skin cells, but it’s also incredibly relaxing. We include a complimentary 10 min massage with all of our intensive hair treatments.
These are just some of our hot tips for Winter.
