Care for Your Winter Hairstyles


If you are anything like me, your winter hairstyle becomes a disaster pretty quickly. Between living in a cold climate with dry indoor heating and the ubiquitous dryness that seems to automatically come to skin and hair in cold weather, winter hairstyles for women can become dull and lifeless if not cared for properly. And after all of the time and effort that we put into researching trends and choosing the best hairstyle for the season, our lifestyle and face shape, none of us wants to see our coif morph into a drab mess. So what are some things that can help us avoid the death of our winter hairstyles?

If you are African American, one of the most unassuming detriments to your winter hairstyle is your wool hat. Wool, although warm, can bite at and snag your hair, causing dryness and split ends. If your favorite wooly hat must be worn, try sewing a lining into it to avoid this problem. Another issue for many women in the winter is the static electricity caused by certain fabrics when rubbed against our hair. This leads to unsightly fly-away hair. Invest in a high quality leave-in conditioner and use as needed to neutralize the static electricity. There are many leave-in conditioners on the market right now, but they all have the same basic instructions. Simply spray the product on clean, towel dried hair and comb through with even strokes.
