If you are not ready, hair damage and color loss is predictable. Therefore, here are some tips we advise to help customers’ to look after their hair when the temperatures plunge.

  1. Moisturize!

Wash in warm or cold water, as it is less drying and increases the longevity for your color. One more consideration is frequency. Cutting down on the washes frequency is by and large good recommendation, but some of you just insist on washing daily. If it is the case, hydrate once a week through a deep conditioning treatment.
  2. Make sure to use thermal protection, when drying, curling or suing a flat iron. In addition, a conditioning color gloss will not only richen up your color, but also seals the cuticle, adding extra protection and shine.
  3. Hair should be trimmed regularly. More often than not, people get in the habit of thinking that less is more in the winter – you will be better off.

  4. Lastly, just cover up. You will be warmer, you hair will not flog you in the face, the color will be protected from the ultraviolet rays and the cold’s icy grip, additionally you will uphold the style that you had when you first walked out the door.

By taking a few simple, preventative steps you can ensure that your hair stays full and beautiful throughout the cold winter months.

  • Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind, but make sure that it’s not so tight that it will restrict circulation in your scalp.
  • Use a conditioner daily.
  • Once you have your hair moist, lock in the moisture by running your hair through cold water. This will also give your hair an extra shine.
  • Don’t go outside with your hair wet. Wet hair can result in risk breakage.
  • Limit your use of “hot” items on your hair such as a blow dryers and curling irons.
  • If you need to use a “hot” item, leave your conditioner in your hair before using the item on your hair.
  • Avoid taking hot showers or washing your hair in hot water. Use warm or cool water instead because the heat can dry out and/or damage your hair and skin.
