winter hair care
Just like your skin, you need to switch up your hair regimen by season.
The same products you use in the summer may not be as helpful to your natural texture in cold weather. Plus, with the change in season, natural hair becomes more prone to dryness from the brisk air and heat blasting indoors. Those factors tend to suck moisture from our strands. With that said, hydration is key to keeping your hair healthy not only in the winter months, but also beneficial all year-round.
5 Types of
Leave-in Conditioner: During the winter months our locks are more susceptible to dehydration-and subsequently to dullness and dryness as well! In order to keep your hair as hydrated as possible, reach for leave-in conditioners.
Hairspray: Dehydration isn't the only effect the dry winter weather can have on your hair. In fact, it's during the wintertime that most people complain about statically-charged strands and fly-aways. To combat such effects, you'll want to keep a hairspray on hand. For frizz / flyways, you can also check out R+CO Foil Frizz + Static Control Spray.
Deep Conditioning / Hair Mask: Healthy-looking hair is hydrated hair, so during the months when things can feel a little drier than usual you'll definitely want to use a hair mask. A weekly hair mask helps to deep condition strands, replenishing your hair with the moisture it craves.
Heat Protection: During the winter months, we know it's not always possible to air dry. That said, anytime you do heat style you'll want to make sure you first use a heat protectant in order to shield your strands from the drying and often damaging effects of hot tools.
Dry Shampoo: It's known that over washing can strip hair of natural oils, causing your hair to become dry and dull looking. If you feel like your hair needs a little refresh, instead of washing it reach for a dry shampoo.
