Tips for Dry Hair
Keep your hair gorgeous throughout winter. With heaters often on indoors, hair can become dry, brittle and prone to split ends. Here are the Top 5 beauty tips for keeping your winter hair healthy and shiny.
1. Protect Your Hair From the Sun
Although the temperature is cooler, your hair, like your skin, can still be damaged by the sun’s harmful UV rays. Protect your hair from sun damage by wearing a hat while outside. This will also protect the delicate skin on your face from sun damage. Sun damage hair feels dry and brittle, and is often prone to breaks and split ends. If you don’t like wearing hats, invest in a good finishing spray with UV filters.
2. Shampoo School
Help keep your hair’s protective natural oils by not washing your hair too often. Your hair will adapt to a less frequent washing routine if you leave it as long as possible between washes. Try using a shampoo formulated for dry hair, they are often milder and won’t strip your hair of its natural oils.
Give your dry hair a little more attention by using a small amount of conditioner in your hair before you shampoo. This will help prevent the shampoo from washing out the natural oils your hair needs for health and shine
3. Give Your Hair A Treat
Nourish dry and brittle winter hair with a weekly deep conditioning treatment. Got a little extra time? Give your hair an ultra nourishing treatment by applying your favourite deep conditioning treatment and wrapping your hair in a shower cap and towel. Leave for 30 minutes then rinse completely. Your hair will thank you for it!
4. Banish Dull Hair
Dull hair is often the result of product build up. Product build up could be any styling products not properly removed by your usual shampoo or conditioners that are too rich or not properly rinsed out. Hair that is lacking in shine and lustre can be easily fixed by using a clarifying shampoo whenever needed. Take care not to use clarifying shampoos too often, it can cause your hair to become dry!
5. No More Split Ends
Dry, winter hair can be prone to split ends. Prevent and get rid of split ends by getting a regular trim every six to eight weeks. Not only will regular trims keep split ends at bay, but you’ll love the feeling of freshly cut hair throughout winter.
