Pampering your hair in winter

The dry and cold winter can be very damaging to your hair. Hair easily becomes dry during this time of year from the indoor heating and the cold weather outside. Proper preventative steps need to be taken during this seasons to ensure that your hair does not get damaged.

Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind, but make sure that it's not so tight that it will restrict circulation in your scalp.Use a conditioner daily.

Avoid taking hot showers or washing your hair in hot water, use warm water instead, the heat can dry out and/or damage your hair and skin. Once you have your hair moist, lock in the moisture by running your hair through cold water, this will also give your hair an extra shine.

Don't go outside with your hair wet, you risk breakage; your hair will freeze and break if it's cold enough outside.

Limit your use of "hot" items on your hair such as a blow dryers and curling irons. If you must, use a leave in conditioner before.

Look for hair products that have the word "Replenish" on it, it is made to moisturize your hair.

Try using a dry shampoo, a good example is baby powder. Simply sprinkle some onto your hair and use a comb to comb it off.
