Healthy Hair Care For Winter
Ah, winter. Chilly nights wrapped in warm blankets next to the fireplace or heater, cups filled with hot chocolate, bowls with delicious minestrone soup and dipped baked bread. Winter brings with it a slew of positive images. Stylish jackets and boots adorn us. Couples also like to cuddle more in order to generate more body heat.
Sounds like winter is just perfect! Not exactly. Winter affects our skin and hair terribly as it needs more moisture. We need to apply more nourishing masks to our hair and skin needs more moisturizer applied during the day. Skin aside, let’s focus on hair and how exactly we care for it during winter.
Steps For Beautiful Hair During Winter
According to Cosmopolitan, the best things you can do for your hair during winter is:
Get a trim
By getting a trim you get rid of dead ends and give your hair a fresh look. In fact, trimming your hair will encourage hair growth by getting rid of any damaged, broken, or split ends. If you don’t know who to go to for an expert cut or trim ask around so that you get a professional who knows what they are doing. Nothing can hurt more than a bad haircut or trim.
Eat food that supports healthy hair
Great food for healthy hair is spinach, eggs, and salmon amongst many others. Another good example is avocados. They contain Biotin (the hair growth vitamin) as well as other vitamins that are great for your hair. The best vitamins and minerals and to ingest for strong, beautiful hair are:
Vitamin A
B-Vitamins (Biotin, especially as studies link biotin deficiency with hair loss)
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Iron
Zinc
Now, there is a bunch of food to consume to keep your hair healthy and strong. But for quick access to beautiful, strong hair include a supplement in your diet that contains, at least, vitamin A, B vitamins, Biotin, Iron, and Zinc.We found a stellar product on the market called Research Verified Hair Growth that includes all of the above and a whole lot more. For more information read our Research Verified Hair Growth review.
Protect with masks
Look for products that are exceptionally moisturizing for the hair. There are a range of masks by Kérastase, which are luxurious and work beautifully. You immediately feel it going to work when applied and the hair is left feeling smooth, soft and well cared for.
Cold rinse after your shower
This is the hardest thing on the list to do, especially in cold weather! After your hot, comfortable shower quickly rinse your hair in cold water as it helps smooth frizz and maximizes shine. At least this will leave you feeling extra fresh, so do it in the mornings if possible.
Tame Down Heat Styling
Every time you style your hair with a blow dryer, curler or straightener you are destroying your hair. If you are going to style with heat it is imperative that you use a protective oil such as Almond Oil.
Towel Dry Consciously
It’s really important not to wring out your hair while it’s wet but rather squeeze it gently to remove excess water. It also helps tame down the frizz. If you invest in a microfiber cloth, it will reduce blow-drying time as it absorbs excess moisture more speedily.
Sleep on 100% silk
If you sleep on a silk pillowcase, your hair strands will gently rub against silk as you move around. When you sleep on a normal pillow case your hair strands rub against man-made fabrics making your hair look and feel wild upon awakening.
So apply these steps and be confident in the knowledge that this winter your hair is going to shine and look gorgeous,
So put on your boots, breath in the fresh chilly air and allow your gorgeous hair to shine and fall past your shoulders this winter because it is going to look gorgeous!
