There are many challenges that winter brings with it, and one of them is hair care. Cold and dry air can suck the moisture from your hair, leaving it frizzy, dull, and more prone to breakage. For those living in areas with harsh winters, it’s important to adopt a hair care routine that protects your hair during the colder months. In this blog post, we will share some tips and products to help you keep your natural hair and hair extensions healthy and beautiful all winter long.
1. Moisturize Your Hair
Moisture is a very important aspect of having healthy hair. During winter, the air inside your home may also be dry, which can dehydrate your hair. To keep your hair hydrated, we suggest using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Oils that are light and moisturizing can also help keep your hair moisturized. You should also use a moisturizing leave-in conditioner to help keep your hair soft and moisturized all throughout the day. Below we have listed our favorite professional brand moisturizing shampoo, conditioner, light oil and leave in conditioner from Kenra.
2. Avoid Overusing Heat Styling Tools
During winter, it’s best to avoid heat styling tools as much as possible as they can cause more harm to your hair. If you must use hot tools like flat irons or blow dryers, make sure that you are using a heat protectant to help minimize the damage. And if you can, allow your hair to air dry. Below we have added products that have heat protectants within them and will help you achieve a nice, smooth blowout without compromising the health of your hair.
3. Cover Your Hair
Covering your hair with a hat or scarf can help protect it from the cold and wind damage. A silk or satin-lined hat is your best choice since it will not cause friction against your hair and it doesn't absorb moisture. You can also switch to a silk pillowcase to help protect your hair from friction and preserve its moisture.
4. Don't Over-Wash Your Hair
Over-washing your hair can strip it of its natural oils and cause it to dry out. Try to wash your hair once a week using a sulfate-free shampoo. You can also use dry shampoo in between washes to keep your scalp clean and fresh.
5. Stay Hydrated
Did you know that drinking enough water is also necessary for maintaining healthy hair? When your body is hydrated, it will show through your hair as well. So make sure you’re drinking enough water, tea, and other hydrating fluids to keep your body and hair well-hydrated.
Winter can be harsh on your hair, but with a little care and attention, you can keep it healthy and beautiful. Remember to moisturize your hair, avoid overuse of heat styling tools, cover your hair, don't over-wash it, and stay hydrated. These simple tips can go a long way in helping you protect your hair from the cold and dry weather. So go ahead, enjoy the winter months, and show off your beautiful, healthy hair!
