Just as we’re heading into the festive party season you may notice that your hair is looking more flat than fabulous. This is because as the temperatures drop so too do moisture levels, which means the air at this time of the year is much drier than in the summer.
This dries out your hair, leaving it feeling brittle and dehydrated, and looking lacklustre. Because of this, you might also suffer split ends and hair loss, so you need to be including products into your daily routine that protect and rehydrate.
To help give your crowning glory a much-needed boost here are my top pro-tips:
While a steaming shower on a cold morning may sound like a treat, hot water can strip your hair of essential moisture. Wear a shower cap or wash your hair in lukewarm water. My Hair Strengthening Shampoo is packed full of healing vitamins and tea tree oil to improve the quality of your hair.
Ensure you use a conditioner. This vital step smooths and nourishes; locking in moisture and making hair easier to brush. Try my Hair Strengthening Conditioner to provide protection as it moisturises the scalp and follicles.
Protect brittle hair by easing up on the styling. Hair dryers and straightening tools can make split ends even worse, so limit how many times you need to use them each week - maybe save the curling tongs for that special occasion.
Sleeping on silk not only means the most luxurious shut-eye, but it is renowned for its hair-saving benefits too. It beats bed-head, strengthening and tackling frizz to tame those tresses. My new super smooth 100% mulberry silk pillowcase cause less friction while you get your beauty sleep.
Make sure you wear a hat or keep your hood up when you brave the great outdoors to protect from the cold and wind.
Eat hair-boosting foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, avocado and nuts. While complex B vitamins – found in whole grains and leafy greens – can help with hair loss.
You can boost your vitamin intake with a daily supplement. My new Inner Strength (Inner Strength (heavenskincare.com) are designed to rejuvenate hair, relaxing follicles so new growth can come through thick and strong.
