Don't let your hair wither away in the winter...

Hey Everyone!


So with the Winter on its way, extra precautions need to be taken to keep your hair silky, soft, smooth and full of life. Just because the trees are left bare and lifeless doesn't mean that your hair has to be. We have a few hints and tips that will help overcome those winter blues. 


1. Use good haircare products: 


* If you have coloured hair, use shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for coloured hair. 
* If your hair is uncoloured, use "for dried or damaged hair" or "protecting and repairing" shampoo and conditioner. 
* Try to avoid using too much heat on your hair but......
* If you feel the need to blow dry or use heat on your hair, use heat protectactant creams or sprays. You can also buy some which prevent firzz, which is always a bonus, especially during weather where humidity is high. 
* Split ends are inevitable! We hate them, but they love us. Dry hair increases the chances of split ends. So split ends to hair in winter is like a moth to a flame. To prevent this, use frizz serum on the tips of your hair. This will seal up the split and stop new splits from developing. 


2. Eat and drink right:


* Your hair is a part of your body....and therefore whatever you eat and drink will have an effect on it. 
* Eat your recommended 5 portions of fruits/vegetables a day. It will provide you with all the vitamins and nutrients that you need to make your hair shinier and longer. 
* Another alternative (for you lazier ones :p) and for those who already have a lack of vitamins is to take vitamin supplements i.e. tablets. Check that it is ok with your doctor first. 


3. Protect your hair from the weather:


* Always carry an umbrella with you in case it rains. The rain contains acid (from exhaust fumes etc) which will not be kind to your hair. A simple inexpensive umbrella will prevent any damage caused by acid rain. 
* Similarly, keep your hair protected by wearing a hat - a stylish one of course!
* Keep some frizz serum/conditioner in your bag in case you do get caught in the rain without an umbrella or a hat. 


4. Be nice to your hair: Give it some TLC


* Avoid using curlers, blow dryers or straighteners. Let your hair blow in the wind naturally. Or....keep it tied up. 
* If you do decide to wear your hair back and tie it up, don't give yourself botox! Wear it loose. Pulling your hair will only strain it and damage it more. And you may end up pulling a lot of hairs out!


So these are our basic tips on how to keep your hair looking and feeling full of volume, shiny and healthy. 


We have a few videos up on youtube about haircare products, hair growing tips etc. So by all means go and check them out and maybe that will help you in deciding what products to use. 


Hope you have found this blog helpful. If you have any requests (videos or blogs) please do let us know and we'll get back to you as quickly as possible. 


Love, Peace and Awesomeness,
