It’s that time your hair’s been dreading all year, winter is finally here! These next few months your hair will be up against strong gusty winds disturbing your styles and drizzly rain encouraging extra frizz. But fear not, this winter you can sit back and relax and give your hair something to look forward to this Christmas. A chance to breathe and shine! Take a read of these top tips on keeping your hair
Use heat less
Don’t be tempted to use those tongs and straighteners as winter is a great time to wear your hair natural. Using too much heat on your hair can cause breakage and your hair is even more prone to this in cold conditions. Be courageous and wear your hair natural simply using moisturising sprays or lotions to keep your hair conditioned. If you can, aim to let your hair dry naturally instead of blow drying. The less heat you hair and scalp has to deal with the better!

Deep conditioning
the cold weather of the winter months means that your hair is more prone to breakage and dryness. Therefore, it’s important to keep your hair moisturised and nourished on a regular basis. ‘Replenishing’ conditioners will deeply moisturise and is great for tackling the chilled outdoors. Avoid breakage further and use a wide toothed comb to detangle which is less aggressive on your hair.

Tackling dry scalp
Massage on a regular basis allows oils to stimulate. Wear a hat or cap to protect your hair and scalp from the chilled temperatures. Although, make sure it is not worn tightly where circulation in the scalp is restricted. It may also be an idea to wear a silk or satin scarf underneath your hat as sometimes the materials can be tough on your hair. If your scalp becomes excessively flaky, apply natural oils directly on the scalp which will prevent dryness.

Wash and wet less
Avoid going out with damp hair. Ensure that your hair is fully dry before setting off outside. In cold weather conditions, the hair can freeze slightly which is prone to breakage. When washing, use a separate shampoo and conditioner, 2 in 1 solutions are not particularly great for hair prone to dryness, especially in winter conditions. During these periods, aim to wash your hair less frequently and only when necessary. This is normally once every 5-7days.

Protective styles
if you’re not brave enough to wear your hair natural there are other styles you can try perfect for the winter. For example, wearing buns and ponies require little maintenance but be aware not to have these tight. It’s also an idea to take down the style each night and gently moisturise which will ease your hair and will be healthier and shiner ready for the next morning. Braids are also a desired style for the winter although ensure that you use braid spray regularly to condition and nourish.
