- I try to wash my hair weekly, if at all possible, since my hair is so dry.
- I take a few days off from heat styling when I can. Since my hair holds curl well, this is easy. The more rest for my hair, the better.
- I skip regular conditioner and use a deep conditioner during winter. I leave it on for about 5 minutes before rinsing out. Aussie's 3 Min Miracle smells and works great. For straight hair, HerCut is wonderful. Since my hair is wavy, I love Ouidad's products too.
- A couple of times a month I love to soak my hair in a hair masque. Elle's tip: Put the masque in your hair & wear an old hat while you run errands, exercise, etc. Check out THIS list of the best masques out there.
- Since my hair is so dry, a leave-in conditioner is a must during these drying winter months. All of these work great and fit any budget. They work as a detangler too.
How does your hair survive the winter months?
PS--LOVE WEEK is coming soon. Is there anything you'd like to see featured?
Leave in conditioner is a great tip, I need to try that in the winter!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips!! My hair tends to fall on the oily side, so I don't moisturize as often as I should :o/
ReplyDeleteI thought I was being good by only washing my hair every other day... I'm definitely impressed by once a week! But I have fine hair so that probably makes a big difference.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to deep condition my hair... if I know I'm showering the next day, I sometimes leave the hair masque on over night.
XOXO

I love Pureology! Smells great and a cruelty free company, gotta love it! I wish I could get away with only one shampoo a week!
ReplyDeleteI love those tips...and I so need to get a leave in conditioner!
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses, sweetie
Ps: I am hosting a beautiful Garnish party supplies GIVEAWAY today :) ...Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
I love Ouidad too. Thanks for these tips!
ReplyDeleteI need to try the leave in conditioner! Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteMy hair is the same way! I need to try out that Aussie goodness.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy how different people's hair can be? I have to wash my hair daily or it looks disgustingly greasy! How I wish I could only wash it once a week!!!
ReplyDeleteMe neither, I'm not blessed with bouncy, beautiful hair, and I wash mine everyday, because I work out everyday, so I sweat.. I sorta need to, but I use Pax Ollie... OHH gosh I should send you some!
ReplyDeleteI wash my hair every three or four days. I have really fine hair, so the oils tend to penetrate and keep my hair pretty hydrated. I condition whenever I wash my hair, with Dove Hydrating and Relaxing conditioner. But if it's really parched, I use Giovanni Organics styling serum. Sometimes I even put really hydrating hand lotion on the tips if they're egregiously dry, but other than that, I don't really rely on winter or summer hair care, since my hair doesn't really dry up normally.
ReplyDeleteOr if it does, I just don't notice.
LOL!
I'm hosting an Apothica.com/SkincareRX.com giftcard giveaway on my blog! Stop by some time!
