Hair's the Scoop

We all know that hair can fall victim to dehydration and damage during the winter months, and reparative treatments can only do so much. So, this year, make it a mission to be proactive!

A few simple tweaks to your daily hair care routine will help keep your locks looking their best all season long:

Get a Trim
Dry, damaged hair starts at the ends, so be sure to start the season off right with a fresh cut. Also, be sure to trim your tresses more regularly, as split ends are more common during the wintertime, too.

Skip a Wash (or Two)
The less you wash your hair, the healthier it'll look. So start using that oh-so-sexy shower cap you've got hidden away, and invest in a high-quality dry shampoo— like Oscar Blandi Pronto— to refresh your roots as needed.

Swap Your Shampoo & Conditioner
It's time to switch out your summer cleanser and conditioner. For the next few months, opt for a moisturizing duo formulated for your specific hair type and texture.

Don't Air-Dry Outside
Avoid leaving the house/gym with wet hair, as it can freeze, which makes it more susceptible to breakage.

Guard Against Heat Damage
As tools like blow-dryers and flat irons are a seasonal staple, always protect your tresses with a thermal guard— such as GHD Thermodynamics Protect— and invest in high-quality styling tools.

Preserve Your Style
Extend the life of your salon (or at-home) hairstyle with these expert tips & tricks.

Treat Your Tresses
I know, you're busy. So hide away in the bathroom, or cover your locks and keep moving, but a weekly hair treatment is a must. No excuses!
