Winters are harsh on hair not just because of cold temperatures, but also because of the extra time we spend inside throughout the season. Both indoors and outdoors are rife with dry air, which makes moisturizing especially important. But what’s the best method of doing that?
Here to show you how to keep your hairstyle smooth and shiny during the cold winter months is the team from Perfections Salon & Beauty Boutique in Cincinnati, OH. They offer a few simple tips for optimal moisturizing during winter:
-
Once a Month Deep Conditioning: In addition to normal conditioning, a monthly deep conditioning session provides the extra moisture you need to combat winter dryness. For a professional treatment, ask Perfections Salon & Beauty Boutique about their DevaCurl Deep Conditioning and other smoothing treatments.
-
Avoid Hairdryers, Curling Irons, & Straighteners: Indoor heating is harsh enough on your hair without the effects of your blow dryer. Avoid using heated hair tools and try more natural hairstyles — at least until the weather warms up again. -
Don’t Leave the House With Wet Hair: While the above tip might make this hard, you’ll probably agree that leaving the house with wet hair is also a bad idea. Not only will it give you a particularly chilly morning commute, but it could potentially freeze and even break your hair.
-
Dry Shampoo: Many people use dry shampoo to save time, but another important benefit is how gentle it is. While hot water dries out your skin and strips your natural oils, dry shampoo absorbs the extra oil and allows you to retain more moisture.
-
Cover Your Hair: Wearing a hat is highly recommended for keeping warm and protecting your hairstyle from harsh winter winds. Look for hats with satin lining, as this material won’t snag like cotton or wool.
