7 Tips to Great Winter Hair By Sara Correia

Regular hair pampering in winter can turn those bad hair days into great hair days. If you follow these seven principles this winter you will be sure to have hair that looks fabulous all season.

In fact, you should apply these tips all year round as they are a great guideline to maintaining beautiful, healthy hair.

• Help preserve your hair's natural oils by not washing it every day, if you were washing it every day, wash it every 2nd or 3rd day
• Use a conditioner or a leave-in conditioner after every wash
• Use a rich moisturiser, replenishing treatment or hair mask at least once a week
• Limit the use of flat irons and hairdryers in winter and when you do use them remember to use a thermal protector
• Don't colour your hair too often
• Wear a hat or scarf on those harsh windy winter days if you are outdoors to help prevent damage and further split ends
• Drink lots of water, get some omega and remember your fruit and veggies

Next time you visit your salon ask your stylist if he/she has sample products for you to try out, or get them to recommend a good nourishing product that works for your hair. Hair, like our skin if not moisturised can dry out leading to split ends, knots and breakage.

Most professional salon brands carry products for conditioning, moisturising and replenishing. New kids on the block in South Africa - urban:tribe, boast 3 conditioners in their range. This is a professional range of products under the Z.one brand. The range is designed for the young, funky, underground and cosmopolitan generation, urban tribes with their own identity. label.m carries 10 products designed to condition, nourish and add shine and Schwarzkopf Professional offer various replenishing masks, leave-in treatments and conditioners.
