When the weather changes, so does your hair. When fall and winter wet in, your scalp and hair begins to get dry. The products you used in the summer and spring that were lighter on moisture should be changed out for products that moisturize your hair and scalp. This will help your hair to remain soft and manageable and, keep you from getting nasty flakes and dry scalp.
If you make an appointment with your stylist, ask them about a deep conditioning treatment that will jump-start your winter hair care. They will give you a treatment that will give your hair and scalp conditioners and moisturizers to help you keep your hair looking great. Also, ask your stylist for information on at-home care. Find out what products sold at your salon work best. You may able to keep your shampoo but add a leave-in conditioner for the fall and winter, Or a hair mask that you apply once every two weeks. While you are getting your treatment, have a conversation with your stylist about it. Once you get your at-home care and regular conditioning treatments as routine, your hair will be soft and fabulous for the winter months!
Other problematic conditions dry weather can create with our hair is static electricity. The sound of small electric particles coming from your hair as you pull your hat off can only mean one thing –Static Electricity! Hair static is at an all-time high during the winter months because of the cool outdoor weather combined with forced heat indoors. Prevent or contain static buildup in your hair during these months, and other months throughout the year, by using items around your home. Our greatest achievement in this business is a satisfied client! There simply isn’t any other profession we’d rather be involved in!
