The LOOK: How to Handle Winter Hair Woes
Friday, January 07, 2011
With January here, let's work on our dry hair. Dried-out tresses are caused by all of our indoor heating; think of how our skin suffers in the winter and needs moisture and nourishment. The same goes for our hair, so here are some easy set of tips on how to keep everything glowing and flowing.
1. Do not over-wash.
Skip the shampoo and go straight for your conditioner if hair is not that dirty. Washing strips oils that protect (until they overwhelm!).
2. Make a hair masque.
On those cold nights in, make it hair masque night (this snowy weekend's the perfect opportunity). There's a number of good ones out there... just make sure they are alcohol- and paraben-free. Want a homemade concoction? Smash an avocado and a little almond oil together in a bowl, then work through your hair. Cap it or wrap it in hot wet towel, and voila - super shine and health. Do this once every two weeks.
3. Brush out every night.
The old brush of the hair at night before bed is a great way to bring natural oils to the ends of your hair and also stimulate scalp and hair follicles for healthy shiny hair. Your mother's 100 strokes aren't such a bad idea, after all!
Remember: treat your hair with a little TLC this winter and it will return the favor by providing you with a crown of beautiful eye-catching tresses.
