winter

During cold weather, your hair is exposed to all kinds of hazards. From wind, frosty weather, and indoor central heating to hats, hair definitely takes a battering in the winter months. Here’s how you can take care of your hair by protecting it during the colder seasons.

Focus on Volume

During winter, the dry air and central heating can make your hair look limp and lackluster. Hair appears thin and brittle, almost as though it has no life at all. Use a volume conditioner when you wash your hair to rectify the issue. It will add volume and make your hair look healthy.

Eat a Protein Rich Diet

Your hair can look dull in winter, thanks to hat-wearing, wind, and frosty weather. Anything you can do to stay healthy will support the condition of your follicles. Eating protein-rich food increases your hair’s shine and volume, so you’ll look great even on cold days. Examples of food high in protein content include oily fish, avocados, nuts, chicken, eggs, and cheese.

Deal with Hat Hair

It’s important to wear a hat on a cold day because significant heat is lost from your head. However, the mess a hat makes to your hair ranges from flatness to frizz, and it can be difficult to control. Instead, make sure all your hair is dry before putting on your hat. This helps reduce the chances of flatness. Another excellent hack is to part your hair in the opposite direction to normal before wearing a hat. All you do when you tidy your hair is flip back the parting to the usual place, and your hair will look great. You can also place a silk scarf inside the hat to avoid static and frizzy hair.

Nourish with a Mask

During winter, your hair is exposed to the elements and needs all the nourishment it can get to stay shiny and healthy. Build a hair mask into your beauty routine so your follicles get treated to a deep and nourishing mask designed to retain moisture. You’ll be amazed at the difference a mask will make to your hair.

Winter is a challenging time to keep your hair in tip-top condition.
