Winter Hair Care Essentials: Protect and Nourish Your Locks!
Winter in Wisconsin may bring its own charm with snowy landscapes and cozy nights, but it can also wreak havoc on your hair. The cold air outside and heated indoor spaces strip moisture from your strands, leaving them dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. At Hair Solutions Salon and Spa, we’re here to help you protect and nourish your hair through the colder months. With the right care and a little professional guidance, you can maintain healthy, vibrant locks all season long.
1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
The key to combating winter dryness is keeping your hair hydrated. Cold air saps moisture from your strands, while heated spaces can intensify the problem.
Our Solution:
• Treat yourself to a deep conditioning treatment during your next visit to Hair Solutions. Our salon-exclusive deep conditioning treatments restore essential moisture, leaving your hair soft and manageable.
• Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner at home, such as Pureology Hydrate, available in our salon, to maintain moisture between appointments.
2. Protect Your Hair from the Elements
Wind, snow, and frigid temperatures can damage your hair’s outer layer, leading to split ends and dullness.
Our Solution:
• Invest in a silk or satin-lined winter hat to shield your hair while minimizing friction and static.
• Apply a leave-in conditioner or heat protectant like Redken One United before heading out to provide an added barrier against environmental stressors.
3. Turn Down the Heat
When it’s cold outside, the temptation to use hot styling tools increases. However, excessive heat styling can strip your hair of its natural oils, making it more susceptible to damage.
Our Solution:
• Embrace heatless styles like braids or buns for off-days.
• If you must use heat tools, pair them with a professional-grade heat protectant, like Redken Thermal Heat protectant, to minimize damage.
4. Tame Winter Static
Static electricity is a common winter woe, often caused by dry air and friction from hats or scarves.
Our Solution:
• Incorporate a lightweight hair oil, like Kerastase L'Huile Originale , into your routine to smooth frizz and combat static.
• Use a boar bristle brush to help evenly distribute your hair’s natural oils and keep static under control.
5. Trim Regularly
Split ends are inevitable during the winter, but regular trims can help you keep them in check and prevent further damage.
Our Solution:
• Schedule a haircut every 6-8 weeks to maintain healthy ends and keep your style looking fresh.
• Consider a protective style, such as long layers or a blunt cut, to reduce breakage and maintain thickness.
6. Pamper Yourself with a Professional Treatment
Winter is the perfect time to treat your hair to some extra TLC.
Our Solution:
• Book a Kerastase Fusio Dose Treatment at Hair Solutions to restore strength, moisture, and shine. We can customize your treatment just for you!
• Try a gloss treatment for added vibrancy and a silky-smooth finish that lasts for weeks.
