Maintaining Your Hair Through Maine's Winter Wonderland
Winter in Maine is undeniably beautiful, but let's be honest, it can be brutal on your hair! The dry air, indoor heating, and those cozy wool hats can leave your locks looking and feeling a bit lackluster. But fear not, your friends here at J. Henry have got you covered with some winter hair care tips and our favorite products to keep your mane magnificent all season long.
Winter Hair Woes - The Usual Suspects:
-Dryness and Static: Cold air holds less moisture, leading to parched strands and that dreaded static cling.
-Breakage and Split Ends: The constant cycle of going from freezing temps to heated indoors weakens hair, making it prone to breakage.
-Dullness and Frizz: Lack of moisture and friction from hats can sap your hair's natural shine.
Your Winter Hair Rescue Plan:
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Just like your skin, your hair needs extra moisture in the winter.
We recommend:
-Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense: This deeply nourishing mask is a winter must-have, especially for dry and sensitized hair. Use it once or twice a week to replenish lost moisture and restore softness.
-Kerastase Elixir Ultime L'Huile Original Hair Oil: A few drops of this versatile oil will add shine, tame frizz, and protect your hair from the elements.
Gentle Cleansing is Key. Over-washing can strip your hair of its natural oils, exacerbating dryness.
We recommend:
-Kerastase Bain Satin 2 Shampoo: This gentle shampoo cleanses without stripping, leaving your hair feeling soft and manageable.
Turn Down the Heat. We know, a hot shower is tempting on a cold day, but hot water can dry out your hair. Opt for lukewarm water instead. When styling, minimize the use of heat tools. If you must use them, apply a heat protectant.
We recommend:
-Kerastase Genesis Defense Thermique: This Blow Dry Primer protects your hair while helping to minimize hair loss during brushing.
Fight the Frizz. Hats and scarves can create friction, leading to frizz.
We recommend:
-Kerastase Discipline Fluidissime Anti-Frizz Spray: This lightweight spray tames flyaways and keeps your hair smooth and sleek, even under a hat.
Don't Forget Your Scalp! A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair.
We recommend:
-Kerastase Specifique Potentialiste Hair & Scalp Serum: This serum helps to balance the scalp microbiome, soothe dryness, and promote healthy hair growth.
