To add to the list of reasons why winter is one of the worst months of the year, it’s that it can also be incredibly harsh on your hair.
This is because when the temperature drops and the air gets frigid, it becomes increasingly harder for your hair to stay moisturized. If you want to avoid unwanted things like breakage, damage, and frizz, try these simple and effective hair care tips.
Condition
Your scalp becomes much dryer than usual when the air is cold. This can cause unwanted dandruff and can even irritate your scalp if left untreated. But with the right conditioning methods, you can keep your hair moisturized by protecting it from dryness. Our stylists recommend doing a deep conditioning mask at least once a week or trying one of our Keratin smoothing treatments for something more semi-permanent.
Avoid Over-shampooing
While there are many benefits to using salon-quality shampoos like the ones we carry, using them too much can dry your hair out in the winter. Throughout the colder months, try to keep how often you shampoo your hair to a minimum. We know it can be hard, but we recommend trimming it down to about two to three times per week. This will help you retain and protect its own natural oils.
Keep Your Hair Covered
One foolproof solution is to wear a hat or toque outside. This not only keeps you warm in general, which is always a plus when living in Canada, but also helps to protect your hair from weather damage.
Treat Your Hair to Regular Trims
It’s also a good idea to visit our salons for a trim during the winter months – and we’re not just saying that! Cutting or trimming your hair every six to eight weeks can help you prevent any dry or split ends that often arise in the winter.
Don’t let the cold stop you from looking gorgeous this winter!
