What Do You Need To Know When Winterizing Your Hair Care? – Part 1

What Does The Winter Do To Your Hair? 

When winter weather hits, a bad dry hair day can last an entire season from hat hair to static electricity, split ends to dry frizz. Experts say you are still susceptible to hair-raising changes as the seasons pass even if you live in a moderate climate. 

Celebrity stylist Nick Chavez, owner of the Nick Chavez Beverly Hills Salon and a QVC hair care expert further says, as people generally don’t take as many precautions to protect their hair, as it is also that the environment can have thereby some of the most damaging effects on the hair observed in both summer and winter whereas in winter it's often worse. 

Coming together to create some pretty bad winter hair days as Chavez says are sun exposure that can be as intense on a ski slope as it is on a beach and then combines with what is a blustery winter wind that can snarl hair as well as snow, rain, and icy cold making hair brittle and dry. 

Now then what do you say? Planning to spend all of the time in the ski lodge with a hot toddy in your hand and not a ski pole? Don’t go so fast snow bunny, winter comes to be your hair’s enemy still. In this context, that which the experts say can be something akin to thereafter spending an entire afternoon under a hairdryer, the reason is indoor heating. 

Fashion runway stylist and Boston salon owner Marc Harris says, it certainly gives you an idea of what indoor heating can do to your hair like it's not quite as dramatic as the damage would be from that. 

Here comes the good news: you can take both protective and replenishing steps no matter what’s causing your winter hair woes. The following are at the top of the list for most stylists including regular use of a thick, rich, moisturising conditioner with a few key ingredients. 

Subsequently viewing Harris, who developed his own line of damage control hair products available at Salon Marc Harris, his Newbury Street salon, says, as they help attract and hold moisture in the hair which can be a real challenge in winter weather as for him the product has to contain essential fatty acids and humectants not only because they are best at moisturising hair. The key ingredients according to him are soy protein and panthenol that are must-haves as he says to control winter hair. 

Always Choose The Right Products 

The key to choosing the right conditioner has everything to do with knowing your hair type as Chavez says whose Perfect Plus line of hair care products come to be sure sell-outs for electronic retailer QVC. 

Chavez says you need a thick, heavy conditioning hair pack which is a deep treatment you leave on for about a half-hour once or twice a week if you are blessed with those thick or curly African- American hair and also the ultra-thick heavy Asian hair. Chavez explains it's especially important not to condition the area closest to the scalp whereas these hair types generally hold oil at the roots which is one reason the rest of the hair can seem so ultra-dry. 

He then says beginning 2 inches away from the scalp and pulling it through the hair to the ends, you should always apply the product. 

Harris says to avoid the conditioning pack as it's just too heavy even for severely damaged hair if your hair is very fine, thin, and flyaway.

Supplemented with a light conditioning leave-in-spray instead as he says to use a regular conditioner every time you wash your hair. 

As Harris further notes, making it flat and limp it will weigh down fine hair whereas it has to be very light. 

The new dry oil sprays are suggested by Chavez. Still offering a layer of protection against the elements, these mostly-silicone-based products go on dry so they don’t weigh hair down. 

Supplementing your store-bought products with all-natural treatments of vegetable oil is suggested by both Harris and Chavez. While Chavez prefers olive oil, Harris’ choice is safflower. 

To achieve this they then just put a few drops of the oil in the palm of your hand rubbing until skin glistens in either case and then starting at the bottom and thereafter working upwards, running your fingers through the hair. 

Harris now explains, it works when you come in from the cold or anytime your hair looks very dry as you can do this after you dry your hair or between washings. 

Here we say about another tip: touch the ends of your hair and scrunch to help deposit a bit more moisture where it's needed most as Chavez says every time you put on hand cream. 

Static Cling And Other Hair Styling Snafus

Static electricity can be a powerful force as anyone who has ever tried to pull socks out of a clothes dryer can tell you. When compared with what static can do to your hair, sticky socks are the least of your problems. 

A fabric softening dryer sheet like Bounce is the remedy that is the same one you use on your laundry. 

Whereas Chavez says that it will remove the static by just rubbing it lightly on your hair. 

That which Harris then says can also reduce static, slightly more conventional is using a natural boar bristle hairbrush with a wooden handle. 

A few quick product switches may be all that you need to combat most problems when it comes to styling winter hair. It starts with substituting a hair cream for your usual styling gel for Harris. 

He then says as they add moisture to the hair making it more pliable and giving it better elasticity so it's less likely to break as it is extremely important in winter with styling creams now trump the gel market.
