The ENVIRONMENT CHANGES and so does the condition and needs of your hair.
Colder weather will have you using your hair dryer more often. This can result in static, dryness, breakage and difficulty in styling. Keeping your hair hydrated both inside (internally) and on the surface layer is important.
Usually, your hair looks good for about an hour after drying and then it droops that's a sign of dehydration.
Using a product with ANTI HUMIDITY properties in the winter may sound strange, but it helps resist dehydration of the hair internally. So, using these types of products will enhance shine, reduce static, and breakage improving overall styling manageability giving you voluminous, bouncy, healthier, longer lasting results when styling.
It's also time to review the shampoo and conditioner you are using. A gentler shampoo with hydrating properties works well on finer hair as it will not add weight or make the hair limp. If you have drier, coarser hair a shampoo with moisturizing properties will make the hair more manageable, less flyaway and dull.
Conditioning, put away those leave-in conditioners as they are only surface acting and will not hydrate enough when you are dealing with static and flyaway hair. Conditioner labels should state hydrating for FINE hair as these conditioners have less weight and are less coating leaving your hair with body, shine and volume. Look for those with a lower pH that will tighten the cuticle prevent tangling and breakage plus help eliminate.static. These are also ideal for those with fine soft curls.
Those with thicker drier hair should consider conditioners that state moisturizing with ingredients like jojoba, argan, coconut oils to name a few. These will give you that extra needed moisture and suppleness plus shine. It should then feel soft, flexible and shiny. Textured thicker hair will also benefit from these moisturizing conditioners. Some styling products may build up or coat reducing the effectiveness of shampoos and conditioners. Therefore deep cleansing or detox shampoos used occasionally will help prevent this issue.
A bi-weekly treatment works in both summer and winter. If your hair is fine lifeless hair from dehydration or heat damage a re-constructor works extremely well. These will have both hydrating and strengthening properties adding body, shine and volume. Those with finer hair will love this approach. The same applies for fine textured hair.
Thicker drier coarser hair will benefit from a treatment high in moisturizing properties to achieve softening, flexibility, and shine. Those with thicker textured curly hair can follow this course of action as well.
Hair brushes are the most under rated tool in your daily hair régime. In a world where high tech gadgets are everywhere the hair brush seems so low tech. Think of it, natural boar bristles will help to reduce static as they absorb and then distribute natural oils throughout from roots to ends. There is less breakage with a natural bristles plus they are not irritating on the scalp as well as adding shine.
Hair brushes with Heat resistant bristles, how would they prevent heat damage to your hair? Some brushes have heat resistant bristles up to 500 degrees F. but, temperatures over 300 F lead to weaker hair that loses its elasticity and causes breakage and hair loss. This may result in severe damage to the roots and structure of your hair and scalp. HEAT DAMAGE being the #1 cause of hair damage today.
