During winter, hair tends to be a bit dryer than when it's warmer
outside, so it's very important not to exacerbate this feature by
cleaning it too often. Shampoo can have a drying effect, especially if
it's not meant for frequent washes, so it might be best to skip it at
least two days a week. Where conditioner is concerned, the more the
better; this product helps hair recover from all the mistreatment it
receives throughout the day and makes it suppler. Try to use
professional products if possible, as they tend to be more effective and
work quicker.
Another essential thing is drying one's hair after
having washed it. Specialists say that it's best to pat your hair with a
towel, then allow it to air-dry, without using any type of blow-dryer.
These appliances, as useful as they can be sometimes, have negative
effects on the hair fiber, leaving it brittle and dry. This can happen
especially during winter, when your hair is already traumatized by the
cold air outside and the dry heat at home or at the office.
One
mistake that people often make is going outside with their hair damp.
This is a very dangerous thing, because it can cause you many problems
in the future, starting with headaches and ending with split ends.
Taking this into consideration, a smart move would be to cover your hair
with a scarf or a hat, particularly when it's raining or snowing. These
are very fashionable accessories that can complete any outfit, not to
mention keep you warm no matter how freezing it is outside.
Finally,
remember that your hair is a delicate and important part of you. Treat
it with care and kindness and it will repay you by making you look
stylish and glowing, no matter what the season.
