How to adapt your hair routine to winter?

Fall and winter climates have no pity on hair. For some, this means itching and dandruff. For others, it means dull, dry, brittle hair. Here’s how to adapt your hair routine to face the cold of Quebec!

WHAT EXPLAINS THIS PHENOMENON?

The colder it is, the less moisture there is in the air. This leads not only to dry skin but also to dry scalp and hair.

For a sensitive scalp, a calming shampoo will take care of itching. As required, a treatment applied directly to the scalp will provide hydration and calm irritation.

If your hair is dried out, go for a hydrating duo. Also, a nourishing mask applied weekly will maintain the right moisture level.

LOWER THE TEMPERATURE!

A hot shower is heavenly, especially in winter! However, hot water removes the beneficial natural oils of the skin and hair. The solution is simple: a lukewarm, invigorating shower. (Let’s focus on the bright side!)

Try to reduce the use of hot tools. If this isn’t an option, be sure to use a heat protectant and lower the heat of your styling tools.

Avoid at all costs going outside with wet hair! The cold air will swell the hair fibre and make it more prone to breakage. When you’re pressed for time in the morning, hide your wet hair under a tuque or scarf.

HYDRATION AND MORE HYDRATION!

To soften lengths after a shower, a leave-in cream is ideal. If you have fine hair, opt for a leave-in spray that is less heavy. As needed, reapply between shampoos to invigorate and rehydrate.

Complete your routine with a hair oil for extra shine, even more hydration and to smooths ends.

The important thing is to diligently use your products to maintain healthy hair in cold weather!
