Winter Hair Care Tips
As our Wisconsin weather gets colder our hair dries out and loses the moisture it thirsts for. Dry hair means visible damage which means bad hair days and losing the length we have spent all year trying to grow. Here are a couple winter hair care tips to help protect and keep the length you have worked so hard to achieve.
Get a good trim.
I know what you’re thinking, but listen. Beautiful hair starts with a good foundation. The “urban legends” are true, your hair WILL get shorter if you refuse to trim it. Even a baby trim helps keep the dry brittle ends from worming their way up those beloved tresses. And don’t worry, I always compromise with my guests who may be worried about losing length while still trying to grow hair to their bra strap. “I’ll only take half an inch IF you take a deep conditioner!” Which brings me to my next point.
Deep condition once a week.
The biggest nemesis we deal with in the winter is moisture balance. Deep conditioning is essential for maintaining moisture balance and hair growth. we have some really great deep conditioning treatments from ColorProof in our salon. Leave the masque on for as loooooong as possible, rinse with tepid water, then run and sit in front of your heater to patiently COMB out your tangles.
Finally, seal and protect.
Seal your ends after your cleansing sessions. First, apply a leave in conditioner, such as ColorProofs Deep Quench Moisture Masque. The Conditioner which helps contribute to the protection of hair as well as help deposit the moisture. Next apply a natural oil, such as coconut oil, to lock in the moisture. Finally, use a cream like our ColorProof Hydrating styling cream to seal in the moisture.
