HAVE A GREAT HAIR DAY
Freezing cold temperatures combined with low humidity and dry heat can leave you with dull, dehydrated, static-y hair just begging for some major nourishment and recovery. This is why I’m a huge fan of winter hats. A basic black knit style is my go-to, but I’ve been known to don a cap, aviator hat, beret and even a fedora on occasion. I like the fact that they look cool and can help keep you warm, but the most important thing is that they can hide the most horrible of hair days.
Here, tips and hair helpers to have great hair every day – no hat required:
7 TRESS TIPS FOR WHEN THE WEATHER DIPS:
- Shampoo less since cleansing too frequently can strip protective oils and dry out your hair. When you do shampoo, choose a moisturizing or sulfate-free formula and use tepid (instead of hot) water for your shower.
- Use a humidifier as a quick fix to infuse dry, indoor air with moisture, robbed.
- Add oil to your hair (particularly the ends) to help alleviate damage. A lightweight one won’t weight hair down.
- Deep condition weekly to keep hair lustrous and healthy.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plant of fresh water and eat unprocessed foods rich in “good” fats like fish, olive oil, avocados and nuts.
- If you suffer from static, a spritz of light-hold hairspray or a dryer sheet swiped over your locks will fix it in a flash.
- Have a few “bad hair day” low-maintenance styles in your pocket. Try a sleek ponytail or easy updo to look effortlessly chic.
