Winter hair care tips
- Hidden hair from frost - healthy hair. We all understand that we want to be beautiful at any time of the year. There is a desire to tint the eyelashes, add shine to the lips and loose the hair. But we strongly do not recommend doing the latter in frosty, winter weather, it will most likely have a very bad effect on the hair from the middle. A large number of beauties are mistaken, thinking that if you walk a little without a headdress in the cold, then nothing terrible will happen. It will happen even if you just decided to run to the store for 5 minutes, because in severe frost, the hair follicles are exposed to severe stress. As a result, there is constant itching, dandruff and, even worse, hair begins to fall out in large quantities. Remember one more important point, if you know that you will soon go outside, then it is even recommended to wash your hair, at least an hour before that, and try to always wear a hat, let your hair be loose under it, but hidden.
- We take care and cover with care too dry hair, with excised ends. In winter, it is completely necessary to change your hair care products and wash them differently than usual. First of all, you need to remember, the water must be warm; second - balms, shampoos, masks and conditioners, only gentle and moisturizing. If you are the owner of a dry hair type, then for the winter time, your cosmetic bag must have, at least, burdock oil. It must be applied to the ends every morning, and if desired and possible, every time before going outside. And also, try to refrain from coloring the hair in winter, this procedure will greatly harm her, more than at other times of the year.
- Serious lack of vitamins greatly affects the appearance of any person, hair, unfortunately, is no exception. When a blizzard and frost outside the windows, first of all, you need to remember about proper and balanced nutrition, which includes both proteins, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins. It is clear that in winter they are much less useful than in autumn or summer, but seasonal vitamins, even if brought from other countries, are simply necessary to eat.
- The better the blood supply to the head, the more beautiful the hair. With sudden changes in temperature, and constant changes in weather conditions, especially when winter times come, our skin is exposed to many trials and stresses, which negatively affects not only the condition of the face or hands, but also on the hair. The reason is that during the cold season, blood stops circulating with the same force as before. Under more acceptable weather conditions, the amount of nutrients that went along with it to the hair follicles and roots decreased significantly. To improve the flow of blood to the hair, you don't need much, just take 5 minutes of your time in the morning and in the evening, and massage your head with your fingertips.
- Products that do not need rinsing. First of all, such products include balms and almost all serums. Using the serum, you can get an almost instant effect, the hair gets shine and looks more vibrant and beautiful. The fact is that these products contain a huge amount of active ingredients that are simply necessary for the treatment and restoration of hair. They are also able to retain moisture in the hair for a long time, protect its structure, maximize and strengthen the strands and ends of the hairline. But it is necessary to apply the serum only as much as indicated in the instructions so that the hair does not look greasy and unkempt.
- Dandruff is a natural scalp condition during winter. Due to dehydration of the body, significant decrease in vitamins and prolonged wearing of hats, the scalp becomes irritated and dry. All these factors miraculously affect the appearance of various fungi and dandruff. Therefore, if you are faced with this problem, then first of all choose only gentle shampoos, make masks with the addition of natural oils: coconut, olive, burdock, almond or castor. Tea oil, which is especially useful in these cases, can be rubbed into the scalp with a few drops, massage movements.
