TIPS FOR THE WINTER
-Adri Rohlandt-

Summer is always great, but all the outdoor activities and sun are not good news for your hair. Moisture loss and discolouration are the major challenges to content with when the temperature rises. This can be caused by damage from UV rays, humidity and the chlorine and salt absorbed from swimming.

Hair will always lighten when exposed to direct sunlight. After your summer holiday, boost your hair with an intensive moisture or protein treatment.

Dry hair indoors and cold wind outdoors can strip your hair of its moisture. Use a deep conditioner once a week and don't shampoo hair more than 3 times a week as it will remove natural oils, drying out your hair so it appears flatter.

In the wind and cold, don't style your hair too much. Wear you hair straight or pull it back into a loose ponytail at the nape of the neck.

Use hot styling tools such as ionic or ceramic. This will seal the outer layer of the hair, fighting frizz and making your style less vulnerable in mist and rain.

Whatever your hair texture, humidity brings out curls and waves and when the elements of nature get hold of your hair, it reveals its true nature. Don't hide it! .If your hair is straight, slick it back or style your soft waves - too sexy! If you have to, a lightweight hairspray is flexible and frizz free, adds shine and helps to keep your hair in style. After washing and conditioning your hair, rub in anti-frizz styling cream to lock out any humidity-induced moisture.
