Cold Weather Hair Care

1. Condition, condition, condition! Dry heat and cold weather sap hair of moisture. Because dry hair breaks easily, the most important thing you can do during the cold months is deep condition regularly.

2. Avoid using heated appliances as much as possible. Using a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron dries hair out even more in the winter.

3. Cover up! If you are going to be outside, especially in extreme temperatures or wind, be sure to protect your hair from the elements. Wear a satin or silk scarf under your winter hat to preserve the style as well as prevent direct contact with the harsh material most hats are made of.

4. Remember that your hair can be more dry and brittle in winter, and can result in much more delicate. Comb hair gently with a wide-tooth comb a least a couple times a day to prevent tangles.

5. Humidifiers are useful during this season because they add moisture to your environment, hydrating your home's air.

6. Give yourself a hot oil treatment at least once a month. This will put some of the moisture back in your hair that the cold, dry winter months robs from us.

7.Take heat protection a step further and wear silk on your hair indoors and in the car since artificial heaters stress your hair too.

8.Use heavier moisturizers like butters and cremes. also deep condition more frequently, because the cold weather can cause a lot of dryness that leads to breakage.

9.Protect your ends. Whatever your current moisturizing routine is double it, and using satin pillowcases and hair wraps.

8.Add oils to your d/c for a moisture boost.

9. Wear hair up when wearing your coat. Put your hair up in a claw clip while you are wearing your coat. When you get to where you are going take it out and let your hair down.

10. Wear low maintenance hairstyles and protective styles. Roller setting, buns, wigs, weaves, braids etc.
