Four tips to treating dry, winter hair


trim ends

1. Trim those ends

The cold air of winter, lack of humidity and central heating causes hair to dry out and become brittle. The drier the hair, the more susceptible it is to splitting and breaking. You can get rid of those frizzy ends with a healthy trim. Better yet, it’s a new season, and that is a good reason to change up your hairstyle.

2. Get a glossing treatment

Winter hair can be dull and lack shine. Product and mineral buildup can take the luster out of hair. To turn the lights back on, so to speak, get a glossing treatment. My favorite is the Illumina Gloss. It is the latest technological innovation from the German color line Wella. Minerals are encapsulated on the hair shaft and then rinsed off. Using Illumina Gloss, you can enhance your color, or just add some shine.

3. Add a moisturizing, deep conditioner

Hair’s winter blues often come from using the wrong shampoo and conditioner. In the winter, it is always a good idea to step up your moisturizing program. If you are not moisturizing, and your hair is noticeably drier, jump-start your way to healthier hair with a deep conditioner. Aveda’s Dry Remedy Moisturizing Treatment Masque instantly improves dry hair up to 63 percent.

Bumble and Bumble Styling Balm

4. Protect Your Hair

The sun and hot styling tools wreak havoc on all hair types. Bumble and Bumble’s Styling Balm provides UV protection from the sun’s harmful rays. It seals the hair’s cuticle, which keeps it safe from the heat of blow dryers and irons. If you color your hair, the Styling Balm’s nourishing formula minimizes fading, keeps tones true and adds shine.
