As we enter June, we also enter winter! As much as we all
love winter fashion and dressing up our outfits with boots, scarves and
jackets, it also means it’s time for some extra TLC towards your hair!
Harsh winter conditions can strip the hair cuticle, making
it rough and susceptible to dryness, static and breakage – definitely something
we don’t want to deal with!
Of course, these tips are beneficial all year round, your
hair is always happy to get pampered and we all love having beautiful, soft,
healthy hair all the time!
Good quality products
It is so important to use good quality hair products! Try
use products that are free of parabens, sulfates and sodium chloride in order
to prevent chemicals and harsh ingredients from breaking down your hair.
When washing your hair, use a repairing shampoo and
conditioner such as the bhave Rescue Intense Repair shampoo & Conditioner.
It will repair and moisturize your hair, preventing dryness and breakage while
leaving your hair with the soft and silky feeling we all know and love! Try not
to wash your hair too often in order to prevent natural scalp oils from being
stripped and on days that you don’t shampoo, you can simply rinse your hair
(with water only) or use a dry shampoo!
End your shower with a cold-water rinse to smooth and
seal the cuticle in order to prevent dullness from dry, jagged cuticles! Absorb
the water from your hair, with a soft towel, rather then vigorous rubbing which
can cause further breakage.
Before drying your hair, use a leave in conditioner (the
bhave Leave-In Crème is perfect for this), this will ensure that moisture is locked
into your hair, and makes your hair more pliable. It will also leave your hair
feeling soft and healthy! Finally, seal with an oil! Protect your hair from the
elements while reducing frizz and adding shine to your hair (the bhave Riot Control Oil is great for taming frizz- you can use the oil before or after
drying!)
Pamper your hair
This doesn’t have to be done every time you wash your
hair, use it to pamper your locks once a week.
After shampooing your hair, apply a deep conditioner (such
as the award-winning bhave Deep Intense Conditioning Masque) and leave it in your hair for 20
minutes and then rinse. You could also apply to dry hair and leave it over
night for best results (don’t forget to wear a shower cap!).
Heat reduction
Using heat on your hair will causing drying and will
reduce hair moisture – no matter what time of year it is! When blow-drying your
hair, try to keep your hair dryer on a low heat setting to reduce as much
damage as possible. Rather than styling with other heat-based tools, why not
try wearing your hair natural, tying it in a braid or bun, or even using rollers
(unheated) to give your hair smoothness and volume.
I do know that this may not be an option for everyone! In
that case, try using your straightener or curler on the lowest heat setting,
and try to reduce the number of times you use your heat tools a week (only
using them after washing your hair, rather than everyday), and make sure you
apply a product for heat protection before!
If you are looking to increase volume in your hair
without using heat, try using a dry shampoo!
Weather Protection
Protect your hair from the weather! Wear a hat to protect
from wind and cold air, or an umbrella for rain protection! If hats aren’t your
style, try wearing a jacket with a hood, and tuck your locks away whenever you
need to!
It is so important to maintain hydration levels! Not just
for hair health but for your overall health and well-being. We all know how
important water is, and it is very beneficial to ensure hair does not dry out,
and stays in a strong and healthy condition.
Yours in beautiful hair xx
