Some people will experience dry and brittle hair as we come into autumn and winter, which is simply down to the colder, drier air.
In order to keep your locks thriving ahead of the party season, here are some top tips from Emma King, the CEO of Cascata Hair in Monaghan.
You should invest in high-quality deep conditioning masks or treatments to replenish moisture lost due to colder, drier air, according to Emma.
Look for products that contain nourishing ingredients like argan oil, shea butter, or keratin.
Reduce the use of heat styling tools like hairdryers and curling irons.
Instead, opt for heatless hairstyles such as braids or buns to prevent further damage to your hair during the dry autumn months.
Use clip-in extensions that will take the brunt of your heat styling when heading out!
Switch to a silk or satin pillowcase. These materials are gentler than cotton, reducing friction and preventing breakage.
Treat yourself to a relaxing scalp massage using a luxurious oil. Massaging your scalp increases blood circulation, promotes hair growth, and distributes natural oils.
Add a good heat protector into your routine before heat styling. We love L’oreal Pli Shaper. Wear a hat or scarf to shield your locks from harsh winds and prevent it from getting tangled.
Schedule regular hair trims to get rid of split ends and keep your locks looking healthy.
Choose a hydrating shampoo and conditioner formulated for your hair type. Look for products that offer protection against the elements and help lock in moisture.
Luxurious locks start from the inside out. Ensure you drink enough water to keep your hair and scalp hydrated. Herbal teas with benefits for hair, like chamomile or rosemary, can also be a nice touch.
Consider indulging in professional treatments at a high-end salon. Options such as keratin treatments or spa-like masks can provide deep nourishment and shine.
