It is well known that our hair can be affected by high
temperatures caused by heating tools for example, or simply by the sun.
However, a lot of people don’t know that low temperatures or cold wind can also
damage the hair.
Because of cold and other external factors, the hair becomes
coarse, hard and dry which may lead to breakage, split ends and a lot of other
problems. This can be avoided by paying extra attention to your hair during the
cold season.
Tip #1: Invest in
a Good Leave-In Conditioner
One of the most important things during the winter is to
moisturize your hair on a regular basis, even every day or once in a couple of
days. Buy yourself a quality leave in conditioner and make sure to keep your
hair moisturized, especially your ends. If you dye your hair, the level of care
and protection needs to be increased even more.
Besides your “homemade” hair regimen, my personal
recommendation is to get a professional treatment once in three weeks or so. An
appointment to your local salon will make your hair shiny and healthy again.
It will only take 45 minutes of your time.
Tip #2: Regular
Trims to Boost Healthy Texture
Another important tip is to trim your hair more often during
the winter, because you are more likely to get split ends during the cold
season. However this leads to another problem. Combined with the fact that hair
grows slower during the cold season, trimming will prevent you from retaining
length. So, if you are having this issue you might want to consider a hair
growth vitamin such as biotin.
If you use a lot of styling products make sure you choose
the best one for your hair. Try to avoid chemicals or heavy products that put a
lot of weight on the hair. I personally like to use a lot of water based
products.
Tip #3: Revitalize
Your Hair From Inside Out
What you eat is extremely important as well, not only for
your general health but also for the health of your hair. Foods high in
vitamins, minerals, zinc and magnesium are good for your hair and will provide
a higher level of protection. If you feel that you can’t get enough nutrients
into your system you can take supplements as well.
To round things up, our hair needs lot of attention and care
during the winter, and taking good care of it will definitely pay off.
