WINTER HAIR

By now hopefully you have read my 2 previous posts.............. winter skin tips and product suggestions for the face and winter skin tips and product suggestions for the body. This post is the 3rd part to the winter series and it is all about hair!!
Hopefully these recommendations will help transform your winter hair from straw to silk.

SHAMPOOING
In the winter I try to do this as little as possible..........I know it sounds gross, but you do not want to risk drying out your hair more than you need to. The only part that will get noticeably oily will be the roots, so for this I use a dry shampoo.
Dry Shampoo in general is an amazing product. I really like Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo $24 It contains argilla powder which is extremely absorbent. Spray it on your roots let it sit for a bit and then rub it in until it disappears or towel it off. Your hair will look clean and will also have a nice texture for styling afterwards. You can get it a Sephora

When it finally becomes necessary to wash your hair, my choice this winter has been Pureology Hydrate Shampoo $28. I LOVE IT. Smells exactly like my favourite gum, Thrills (the purple chiclet looking gum that people say tastes like soap). It is totally vegan and makes your hair so smooth, shiny and nourished. Get it at Concepts Salon in the Holt Renfrew Centre.

The Pureology Hydrate Conditioner $28 is perfect for winter too, it has a nice thick and creamy texture and it is really tingly and minty. Smooths static fly aways and is perfect in the morning to wake you up! * When applying your conditioner start half way down your head focusing on the ends, never apply to the roots and scalp. Get it at Concepts Salon.

Pureology Hydra Cure Intensive Moisture Hair Mask $48. Apply this when you feel your hair is in need of some serious hydration. Comes with a great hair comb that you use in the shower to help distribute the product. Contains hydrating ingredients like shea butter and avocado. *Concentrate on the ends. Pick it up at Concepts Salon.
Happy hydration!
