Take care of your winter hair

We all know in the winter the days are cold, the nights are colder and we do everything in our power to stay close to a heat source. Although it makes our bodies feel better, it doesn’t always do wonders for our hair. Going back and forth from artificial heat to cold wind can dry, frizz, and freeze our hair. Here are a few tips to keep your hair moisturized, healthy, and beautiful while staying warm and cozy through the colder months.

1. 1. Stock up on leave-in conditioners and protective oils: These act as a cozy coat between your hair and the heat. During the cold dryness of the winter months, damage from a curling or straightening iron can be worse than usual. If you're straightening out or curling up, coat your hair with a leave-in oil such as Oi oil by Davines. The smell alone will make you want to coat your locks to keep it soft and protected.
2. 2.Air-dry: If you're not freezing post-shower, try to let your hair air-dry before blow-drying it completely. The less hot air you infuse into your locks with the dryer, the more moisture you'll seal in from your shampoo and conditioning products. However, make sure you don’t go outside with any water left in your hair if the temperature is below freezing. The water in your hair will freeze creating broken ends and “layers or bangs” you never intended to have. 
3. 3.Stay moisturized: Go to a salon for a professional deep-conditioning treatment at least once a month. This is a great way to keep your hair healthy and shiny in the winter months. If this isn't in your budget, use Nou Nou Pak by Davines. Its main ingredient is olive butter which not only protects the outside of your hair, but penetrates in and plumps your hair from the inside out. Put the pak on wet or dry hair, leave in for 15 minutes and rinse. 
4. 4.Be dirty: OK . . . not dirty, but wash your less frequently during the winter. Frizz is a result of dry, broken strands of hair--aka lack of moisture. Washing your hair every day does more damage than good, so wash your hair every third day or every other day if you must.
