Looking After Your Hair In Winter 

Autumn and winter is always a challenging time for your hair. The cold and often dry air will blow it about, throwing any carefully-arranged style into chaos, higher rainfall levels could leave it wet more often, and it will be compressed under a woolly hat or hood much of the time.

Some may laugh off such things, reasoning that hair can bounce back from all sorts of things, or that it gets wet anyway when you wash it. But the weather really can make a difference, often in ways you might not expect. 

For instance, although your body produces more melatonin to regulate hair growth and should leave you shedding less, the regular switches between cold, dry outdoor conditions and the sudden temperature rise experienced by walking into a heated home can lead to a dry scalp and make your hair brittle. All that brings with it the dreaded split ends.

Static is another issue. Whether it is brushing your hair or pulling a hat on or off, the drier hair you get in winter is more likely to stick up, get tangled and look less attractive. And this static added to friction is why your woolly hat will often have lots of hair strands in it.

All this means that a good blow dry needs to be done professionally, with the hair kept moist so that it is being given the right kind of air flow, instead of being slowly desiccated by first cold then warm air. 

Indeed, a bit of moisturising, as well as regular trims and also the application of some colour - as winter weather can squeeze a bit of colour out of it - are all important steps one can take to keep everything looking shiny, neat and full of vitality in what everyone will hope is more of an active party season this year.
