While in summer, hair is often dry and needs to be repaired with oils, in winter, your hair requires real care to maintain its shine despite bad weather, hats, and more. Here is a range of tips to keep your mane looking dreamy.
- Protect your hair from the rain Although we often picture a sexy girl in the rain with wet hair, avoid the rain by using a hat or an umbrella. Due to pollution, rain can be more or less acidic. Hair loses its shine and color tends to fade. Also, beware of frizz!
- Choose a shampoo suited to your hair type By constantly fighting sebum at all costs, women tend to use more and more shampoos for oily hair. These purifying shampoos tend to dry out the hair fiber. Conversely, a shampoo that is too rich will weigh down the hair and make it lose volume. Gloss shampoos are very trendy. However, be careful as they may contain silicone, which makes hair shiny by coating it, but also weakens it.
- Don’t overuse dry shampoos
Practical and quick, dry shampoos allow you to postpone washing your hair by a day. Ideal for rushed mornings, dry shampoo is a powder that absorbs sebum. However, spray application tends to dry out the hair and make it stiff.
- Space out shampoos and reduce the number of washes
Even if you want to look perfect every day, shampooing daily is not the right solution. Try, on weekends or days off, to leave your hair alone and wait until the last moment to wash it.
- Prevent hair breakage with conditioner
The effect of washing can be enhanced by using a conditioner. Lightweight, it is ideal for protecting hair, with a leave-in time of 5 minutes.
- Apply a mask to repair your hair
An essential step, the mask helps regenerate the hair fiber. With a leave-in time of 10 minutes, the mask makes hair light, soft, and silky.
- Take care of your scalp
The lengths often get all the attention. However, the scalp can become weakened and flake, leading to dandruff or hair loss. Specific treatments can help strengthen it.
- Avoid drying styling products
Hairspray, gel, wax, styling paste… these products should be used only occasionally. Regular use can dry out the hair and make it brittle.
- Favor styling serums
If your hair is unruly or frizzy, a serum can make styling easier while caring for the hair fiber and providing maximum hydration.
- Moisturize your ends with a dry oil
After shampooing or during styling, finishing oil can hydrate the ends and give them shine. Very economical, one or two pumps per day are enough for hydration.
- Don’t overdo coloring
Don’t change your hair color on a whim. The further the color is from your natural shade, the more maintenance it will require to reduce root regrowth. Bleaching may be necessary, which is extremely harsh on the hair fiber. Try to stay close to your natural color, with a tone-on-tone shade.
- Let your hair breathe
Take a break and let your hair down. Hair is often trapped with accessories that are too tight. Ponytails and buns, even though they are practical, tend to break the hair fiber. Wash your hats and beanies regularly, as they can promote dandruff.
