So you don’t want to put away your hair
dryer even if you’re told that can help keep your hair shiny and moisturized
during the winter; you’re definitely not the only one. Most professional
stylists recommend staying away from styling products and heat during the
winter to keep hair healthy, but that’s not as easy as it sounds. Sure, washing
your hair every-other-day sounds nice, but sometimes you just feel unclean and
can’t stand the way your hair looks. Giving up your hair dryer on the other
hand may sound near impossible. You’re not leaving the house for work in the
morning with wet hair- especially if you have hair extensions! Long hair can
take forever to dry. Besides, can’t you get sick that way? Luckily Allure
Magazine has
tried and tested some beauty products, and given their seal of approval so you
can continue to look beautiful and keep your hair and hair extensions healthy
all winter.
The thought of skipping a day shampooing
may make many women shudder, but luckily you don’t have too. Allure recommends
a “restorative” shampoo that won’t strip away hair’s natural oils that keep it
shiny; they recommend “L'Oréal Paris EverStrong Reconstruct Shampoo” but note
to look for products with labels that say "anti-breakage,"
"strengthening," "restorative," or "renewal".
Instead of conditioning every time you
shower, use a deep conditioner (Allure recommends
“Shu Uemura Art of Hair Moisture Velvet Nourishing Treatment for Dry Hair”)
once a week. The film left behind from the conditioner treats dryness and
damage and keeps hair shiny and tangle-free.
Use an ionic blow-dryer like the “T3
Featherweight Professional Hair Dryer”. Good ionic dryers emit charged
particles that can cut your hair drying time in half and ensure your hair
cuticles lay flat. Give your hair a spritz of “Tresemmé Thermal Creations Heat
Tamer Spray” before using any heat products to keep your strands protected.
Another heating tool many women have a hard time parting with is a straightener
or flatiron. Allure recommends
a silicone-emitting flatiron like the “Remington Style Therapy Frizz Therapy
Flatiron”. The plates of this flatiron actually emit a silicone-based
conditioner that eliminates frizz.
Most stylists recommend that you avoid
dying your hair during the colder months because most hair dyes contain ammonia
and peroxide which can dry your hair out. L'Oréal Professionnel's has released
a new salon dye, however, called “INOA” that contains neither ingredient. This new dye is also more resistant to fading.
