The Best Way to Get Healthy, Shiny Winter Hair ...

Winter βdoesnβt only cause dry skin. It can also dry out your hair and make it dull. Thatβs a look no one wants. Thankfully, thereβre lots of things you can do to help your hair to stay healthy and shiny the whole winter through. Follow these 7 tips to keep your locks lovely!
Itβs a good idea to change out your shampoo and conditioner when the seasons change. Your hair needs more moisture in the winter than it does in the summer. You want to look for a shampoo and conditioner that has ingredients thatβll nourish your hair. A couple I like are Redken All Soft shampoo and conditioner and Bed Head Recovery shampoo and conditioner. Thereβre also options in the drugstore line. OGX Argan Oil of Morocco shampoo and conditioner is a drugstore option thatβs promises healthy hair and a glossy shine.
While itβs important to use a good daily conditioner, your hair needs something more on occasion. A weekly moisturizing treatment is just the thing to revive dull, dry hair. Hair masks are deep conditioners that you apply and leave on for 10-20 minutes then rinse out. A couple great ones to try are Amika Nourishing Hair Mask or one from the Aussie Three Minute Miracle line. Youβll notice such a difference in your hair.
Hair serum is a magical little hair product. It adds a beautiful shine and makes your hair look healthy even when it isnβt. The best way to use serum is to apply a small amount when itβs wet. A little bit goes a long way. Think pea or perhaps dime-sized amounts.
Heat styling tools completely transform our hair and thatβs why we love them. But unfortunately, theyβre also damaging and drying. Since giving them up isnβt an option for most of us, consider turning down the heat. This can go far in helping you achieve healthier hair. And when you can, give your hair a complete day off from heat styling.
Iβm going to admit that Iβm late jumping on the second day hair trend. For years, I washed my hair daily but am slowly converting to washing every other day. Washing your hair daily can strip it of natural oils that keep it healthy and shiny. Style your hair in a braid or a bun if it isnβt freshly washed to hide the fact that itβs dirty. More than likely, no one will ever know but you.
Go with the flow, meaning go with your natural hair texture. If youβve got curls, let them show. If youβre a straight-haired lass then embrace it! Going with your natural hair texture saves your hair from the potential damage it receives when you try to manipulate it into an opposite texture. Iβll tell you a secret here, too. Youβll probably be shocked at how many compliments you recieve once you accept the hair fate gave you.
This tip isnβt as interesting of fun as the others. Itβs hard to top shopping and experimenting with new hair products! But the truth is that your hair reflects your lifestyle choice. If you eat right and live a healthy lifestyle, it shows. Itβs okay if you canβt change your habits overnight; just make it a goal you work toward.
Theseβre 7 tips to help you have healthy, shiny winter hair. Whatβre your favorite hair products this time of year? I canβt wait to hear from you!
