Cold, frigid temperatures are upon us and you may notice your hair, skin, and nails becoming more dry and brittle. Not to worry, it is often a side effect of the changing seasons, but you will need to provide a little more TLC to your locks than normal. Here are a few tips for keeping your tresses strong and healthy during cold, unforgiving months.
Give Your Color a Break
Fall and winter months are the perfect time to go dark and give your hair a break from lightening and bleaching. Instead of highlighting, opt for a gloss treatment or darker demi permanent color. Gloss and demi colors will provide shine and strength to your hair without the harshness of bleach.
Do Regular Hair Masks
It goes without saying, doing regular hair masks is a must. We recommend doing a deep treatment at least once or twice a week for best results. This will keep your hair healthier, less frizzy and more moisturized. Want it? Click here to get $2 off this mask.
Avoid Sulfates and Harsh Detergents
Shampoos and conditioners with sulfates and harsh detergents can dry out your hair even more and strip any color or keratin treatments you have. Avoid them and use only sulfate-free products. We love the SheaMoisture haircare line because its products are sulfate free and made with gentle all natural, certified organic ingredients.
Trim More Regularly
Your hair may be more prone to breakage and split ends during the fall and winter. Instead of haircuts every 6 weeks, get trims every 4 weeks. This will help keep dead ends and dry hair at bay during harsh months.
Protect it From The Elements
The elements can do a number on your hair if you’re not careful. Cover your hair with a scarf or cap when you go out into the snow or brutally cold weather.
Switch To More Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner
Even if you have oily hair, switching to a more moisturizing shampoo and conditioner will help counteract any dryness and breakage. Your hair needs more moisture during cold months, so be sure to treat it to some extra TLC in the winter. We picked up SheaMoisture Peace Rose Oil Complex Nourish & Silken Shampoo & Conditioner available in the Salon Aisle at Target and absolutely love it! Not only does it smell positively divine (like a fresh rose garden) but it’s also free of sulfates, parabens, mineral oil, propylene glycol, phthalates, and animal testing. SheaMoisture products are made with natural and certified organic ingredients, so you get health and moisture without all the bad stuff.
Giving Back is Always in Style
Not only does SheaMoisture make a wide selection of fantastic hair and skin products, but they also give back to the community with their Community Commerce Program. Since Shea Butter is central to all SheaMoisture products, they ethically source shea butter from 13 women’s cooperatives in Northern Ghana. This helps local women build self-sustaining businesses and earn a fair wage. SheaMoisture also helps oversee production ensuring health, efficiency, profitability and quality of life for the co-ops and members. SheaMoisture works with the women not to just be suppliers but partners, increasing their earning power and contributing to greater success, health, access to education and financial freedom. SheaMoisture has a wide range of hair products to help keep your tresses healthy and strong, including:
