Ask An Expert: Jason, My Hair Is So Dry!
Question: My hair has started to look dull, is drying out and really needs a boost in this cold, dry time of the year. What would you suggest one should do to prevent this from happening and how can one fix it?
Answer: Hang in there because the dry winter months are soon going to be a distant memory for yet another year which also means the dried out, dull looking hair you're experiencing in the winter time will soon be on the mend.
In the cold Canadian winter months, we blast the electric heaters, the air is dry and our lives are starved of Vitamin D and moisture!! Your hair experiences all of the repercussions of this nasty annual tradition Mother Nature plays on us. What you want to do during this time is focus on moisturizing your hair with products that say "moisturizing" on them. Another trick you may want to try doing for that 'dull' hair you're experiencing is to do a gloss colour on your next visit to the salon. Either go with a new tone or simply a clear shine can help revitalize that blah look you're experiencing. Deeper richer tones will help if you're a redhead, brunette or darker. Blondes should stick to clear glosses for added shine.
Here are a couple quick do's and don'ts for dry winter hair:
DO intensive moisturizing treatments to help re-hydrate dry hair in the winter and make sure to use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
DO a cool rinse when finishing your shampoo/conditioner. This will help close the cuticle of your hair and appear shinier.
DO NOT wash your hair everyday. Try at least going every other day so that you don't strip away the healthy natural oils.
DO NOT overly use heated tools like curling irons or flat irons. These will create a bigger mess by drying out your hair even further.
DO NOT use products that contain a ton of alcohol. These will further dry out your hair.
We all know that the winter months can be challenging on our hair and skin. Try using these tips as a discipline in the winter time and hopefully you'll be able to survive through the dry blah winter hair blues. xoxo
