Defy Dry Winter Hair

11.10.10

I live in Florida where the weather is unbelievably humid during the summer months but as soon as the colder weather appears, there is a noticeable dry change in the air. Have you noticed your hair tends to be drier during the winter? Why? Cooler temperatures leave hair feeling and looking dry because of the lack of moisture in the air. Your scalp is also left with fewer natural oils, making your hair thirsty and prone to breakage. We’ve had two weeks of unseasonably cold, dry weather.

The conditioner smells wonderful from the moment you open it. It is a pleasant scent, not overly sweet. My hair was easy to comb out after my shower. After letting it air dry, my hair is soft and...

As soon as Winter rolls around, there is a noticeable change in the air. A lack of moisture leads to dry, brittle hair. Your scalp has fewer natural oils, making your hair thirsty and prone to breakage. So what can you do? Maintaining healthy, shiny hair begins with a good trim. Keeping your ends trimmed and split end free will reduce breakage. You should have your hair trimmed at least every eight weeks. Purchase shampoo and conditioner for dry hair or extra moisturizing formulas. When rinsing your hair, use cold water. By using cold water, you help your hair lock-in moisture. When you comb your hair after a shower, use a wide-toothed comb....
