Common Winter Hair Nuisances SOLVED!

As the weather changes so do our lovely locks. The winter brings on the cold, the wind, and the rain. Here are some tips to keep your hair under control.

1. FRIZZ. Ugh a curly girl's worst nightmare! Start with a Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner after towel drying add a leave in conditioner followed by a shaping lotion to smooth out your cuticles and seal in moisture. Try to avoid blow drying, curling irons, and flat irons because artificial heat damages the cuticle and causes more FRIZZ.
2. DRY/ FLAKEY SCALP. From cold temperatures outside to central heating inside can strip skin cells of moisture. You can avoid the embarrassment of brushing off flaky skin cells and dandruff by investing in Tea Tree Oil. You can add a drop or two of the oil to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to improve dandruff and relieve dry, itchy scalp. You can also slightly warm up some olive oil and gently massage it into your scalp for 30 seconds. Follow with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
3. LIMP FLAT LOCKS. With hats and scarfs on the up not just for fashion but also to keep us warm during winter months, they can leave our hair limp and flat. To help with volumeless locks, keep a travel size volume hairspray in your purse for those quick lifters. You can also start your day with a volume shampoo and conditioner with menthol in it. Menthol helps blood flow to your hair follicles, energizing them and bringing on the volume. Style using a voluming mouse or root booster.
4. SPLIT ENDS. With a combination of cold temperatures and heat styling hair can become brittle and the ends begin to fray. You can cut back on shampooing as often to keep your hair from drying out and giving it a chance to absorb your natural oils. You can also treat your hair to a deep moisturizing treatment, which you can apply conditioner to clean wet hair, wrap in a shower cap and sleep in over night or I like to warm a towel in the dryer and wrap it around the shampoo cap for 15 minutes before rinsing it with luke warm water.
