Beanies, earmuffs, balaclavas, and headbands try their best to protect our hair and scalp from the dryness of winter months, but sometimes outdoor fashion wear isn’t enough. Between the wash-day slickbacks, winter air, and restrictive elastics, hair goes through a lot every day. Most people only have time for a quick shampoo and conditioner before finishing the blowout and heading to work. But sometimes strands need more TLC when the weather is working against us.
The one thing every head of hair needs more of? Hydration. Moisturized hair prevents breakage, enhances shine, and optimizes effortless growth. Cold and dry winter air strips hair of its natural shine and moisture leaving it frizzy and brittle. But, hair doesn’t have to succumb to the dullness that winter can bring.
