Everybody agrees that hair is an important part of each one’s essence and it can totally change someone’s look. Especially in winter, the strands tend to become drier, giving a frizzy aspect. Lucky you, we selected the best care tips for healthy and shiny hair during this cold weather.
Frequency
Although it seems pretty trivial, the frequency that we wash our hair directly impacts our health. Washing every day promotes dryness, otherwise, delaying the wash increases sebum production so the most recommended regularity is to alternate days: one day you wash it, and the other you don’t.
PRE-SHAMPOO
As the name says, it’s a treatment that is applied before the shampoo itself and can be found in various forms like serums, masks, oils, or sprays. For the winter, the best ones are those that protect the hair against conventional heavy substances, besides boosting moisturizing procedures. It should be used every 15 days or once a week depending on your needs.
dON’T BE SHY IN HYDRATION
Literally the most important step on this list. In order for your hair not to become dull, use hydration masks and conditioners, then try regularly to make a more detailed application by rinsing the product lock by lock.
DRY BEFORE GOING OUT
For the sake of both your hair and your own health, never go out or sleep with it wet, remember to always blow-dry it before. Leaving the hair damp can make it brittle, so the best way to dry it is with a hair dryer, but first use a towel to remove excess water.
lEAVE-IN
In addition to the tip above, the leave-in is a must-have in your routine. It serves as a protective layer around the hair fiber, defending it from heat sources, such as hair dryers. This product also has frizz-reducing and hydration properties.
HAIR OIL IS MAGICAL
Use oil and you’ll enjoy soft, shiny, and smooth hair! When applied, it becomes a powerful ally for any type of hair, giving hydration, nutrition, and reconstruction to the strands. It’s for daily use, can be applied before or after washing, and even on dry locks, just a few drops will be enough to give a magnificent look.
