Rethink Your Regular Ways This Winter

Dec 07, 2016

The warmth of summer is long gone and your hair extensions will be feeling the cold, dry weather just like your skin. Remembering to tweak your normal hair care routine for your extensions during the winter months is a must if you want to arrive with soft, flowing locks this spring!

Here’s a good winter hair care hit list:

• **Show some TLC and let your hair know you care by avoiding going out in the cold with wet hair! Frozen hair can increase the chances of damage. And while you’re at it, think about switching those cotton pillow cases and hair coverings to satin or silk. These fabrics do not absorb the moisture from the hair and help reduce dryness.

• **Most importantly, rev up your moisturizing game: It is critical to keep your hair saturated with moisture. Dry heat indoors, cold air outside, and heat from styling tools can work a number on lush locks, so be careful to adjust your daily hair moisturizing regimen as the temperatures drop.

• **Speaking of heat from styling tools, consider cutting down on how often you touch your tendrils with the curling or flat iron. This habit can amplify the dryness of your extensions and cause more breakage. Using hot tools twice a week is usually recommended.

However you decide to adjust your regular routine, just be sure to add moisture! Deep conditioning treatments, coconut oil, olive oil, cutting back on shampooing, and relaxing the heat exposure are all good options. Make the effort now and you’ll be thanking yourself come the dawn of daisies and daylight savings time this spring!
