Is Winter Bringing Your Hair Down?

One of the best cures for the winter hair blues is to not wash your hair as often. Get more days out of your shampoo with a dry shampoo. Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo is a perfect product to revive and restore your second or third day hair with out looking like you just rolled out of bed. Check out this review of another great dry shampoo that I tried.

To really get deep into the hair shaft and get serious moisture, I recommend using an intense moisture hair masque, like Pureology's Hydra Cure, once or twice a week. A deep penetrating moisturizing treatment will add moisture like no other regular conditioner can deliver. For extra hydration that really gets deep into the hair shaft, apply the masque to damp hair towel dried hair, wrap your head in a shower cap (or plastic wrap), and then wrap your head in a hot towel (just out of the dryer). Let the masque sit on your head for 10 - 30 minutes. Your hair will feel like silk when you rinse. This article can help you find the right deep conditioning treatment for your hair.

When dry, itchy, winter scalp is just unbearable, its time to take care of it with products that are meant to heal your scalp, like Nioxin. Nioxin is not only used for a wide variety of winter scalp issues, it has even been proven to treat dandruff and improve hair's thickness. I highly recommend Nioxin Scalp Recovery to quickly and effectively combat dandruff and dry itchy scalp. If dandruff and itchy scalp aren't an issue for you, there is a Nioxin system for every hair type (learn about them all here), and with just a few uses that dry, itchy scalp will be history.

No matter what the season, if you're using heat on your hair, a thermal protect product is an absolute must have to prevent brittle, broken, and split ends. Pravana Keratin Fusion Thermal Insulator is one of my favorite heat protection sprays for winter because it's ultra moisturizing. Spray on dry hair before using a flat iron or curling iron and you'll not only guard your hair from heat related damage, but your hair will also hold the style better and longer!
