The weather changes and so does our #hair. Keeping your hair looking fabulous throughout the year means adapting your hair care routine to the changing seasons. The increased humidity in the air during spring and summer calls for different hair products than those used in the drier winter months.
Glycerin and #humectants that we love for our natural hair care regimen are a no-no in the winter because it robs the hair of moisture. There is less moisture in the air so instead it utilizes the hairs moisture; which will leave it dry and limp. I don't know anyone who wants dry hair and split-ends. So lets get ahead of the winter hair blues.
Fall/Winter Hair Care Tips
Moisture-Rich Products: In contrast, the colder months tend to be drier, both indoors and outdoors. Switch to richer, more moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to combat dryness and keep your hair hydrated.
Avoid Glycerin: As noted, glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture from its surroundings. In the winter, when there is less moisture in the air, glycerin can actually pull moisture out of your hair, leaving it dry and brittle. Opt for products that are free from glycerin during this time.
Deep Conditioning: Regular deep conditioning treatments can help replenish moisture and maintain the health of your hair during the winter months.
Protective Styles: Consider protective hairstyles like braids, twists, or buns to minimize exposure to harsh elements and reduce breakage.
Year-Round Tips
Regular Trims: No matter the season, regular trims help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy.
Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports overall hair health.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of water is essential for keeping your hair hydrated from the inside out.
By adjusting your hair care routine to suit the season, you can ensure that your tresses stay in top condition all year long. Happy hair care!
