If you do not know by now what damage the sun can do to your skin and hair you must have been living on another planet, but so many people forget that winter can cause just as much damage to your hair as the sun.

 

The changes in temperature, humidity and the environment that occur in winter take their toll on your hair, so keep your hair alive and vibrant and don’t let winter send your hair into hibernation. Your body and hair struggle to keep pace every time you step from a dry and heated home, office or store into the cold air and out of doors.

The changes in temperature, humidity and the environment that occur in winter take their toll on your hair, so keep your hair alive and vibrant and don’t let winter send your hair into hibernation. Your body and hair struggle to keep pace every time you step from a dry and heated home, office or store into the cold air and out of doors.

 

In the winter months your hair will alternate from dry and electric to floppy and limp, or get an attack of the ‘frizzies’, and although hats can sometimes be a saviour, taking them on and off making your scalp sweat, you are liable to end up looking bedraggled, and unhappy at the end of the day.

 

Winter is the worst time for flaky and itchy scalps, with stress levels higher during winter and stress encourages the production of flakes and oiliness and even though winter is the most difficult season for hair, this can be avoided.

 

The most important thing is use a quality shampoo and use plenty of good conditioners. Some people might think that winter is not the time to shampoo your hair frequently for fear of catching cold, remember there is no more danger of catching cold with damp hair than dry hair, it is simply that our resistance is lower in winter, and wet hair has nothing to do with it, so wash away, because less frequent washing also encourages a flaky scalp and lank hair.

 

Hair treatments can perk up your scalp, massage well into your scalp for five minutes and follow up with your usual shampooing programme, your scalp will feel refreshed and your hair will look great despite the winter weather.

 

In winter people tend to eat more stodgily and drink much less water, but diet is very important for the health of your hair, and although salad is not the food of cold winter nights it is a must to eat plenty of vegetables, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower spinach and any other coloured vegetables you like, also eat plenty of fruit, there are wonderful winter fruits such as tangerines and clementines.

 

Exercise benefits our whole body, a walk in the winter air and leave your hair to the elements, but when you get home give your hair and scalp a treat by applying a hair treatment and massage your whole head before jumping into a lovely hot bath.
