Here are the top 5 winter hair care tips to keep your hair well-behaved for those winter months.
Condition well
One of the main problems with winter is that it can strip the hair of moisture. It’s therefore vital to use hair care products which will replenish that moisture and a good conditioner is the best place to start. We stock a full range of moisture based shampoo’ and conditioner’ for all hair types. Along with using the right type of moisturizing conditioner for your hair, treat your hair with an intensive conditioning treatment twice a week, we’ve got some fantastic Treatments in our new Bumble & Bumble range which will make your feel and look fantastic. For best results, lather on the conditioner and wrap your hair in a towel for ten minutes - this creates a humid environment, allowing the conditioner to penetrate the hair properly.
Rinse with cold water
Rinsing with cold water after washing out hair care products is a good way to help lock in the moisture from your conditioner. It also gives added shine to the hair.
Don’t go outside with wet hair
Going outside with wet hair in winter can lead to the hair freezing and possibly breaking, so try to make sure your hair is dry and protected before you leave the house. If you’re going out in the cold weather, you also need to be wary of hats. If you want to wear a hat, make sure it fits properly and clean your hats regularly. Wearing a tight hat can lead to limp, greasy hair due to overworked sebaceous glands.
Avoid heating the hair
Any extreme temperature can lead to hair damage, so icy cold weather and central heating in winter is a troublesome combination for hair care, robbing moisture and increasing static. Try not to overuse any hot items on the hair in winter. Blow dryers and curling tongs, for example, can dry out the hair. Limit use of your hairdryer and, when you do use it, use a cool setting. This will take longer but it will be far less likely to contribute to the winter damage of your hair.
Don’t shampoo too often
Winter weather and central heating will dry your hair meaning you need to shampoo less often at this time of year. Try to leave longer between washes - at least a day - and the natural oils will help prevent the hair drying out. When you do wash, use moisturising hair care products to help reduce dryness.
