Features of hair care in winter

In the winter season, hair needs special care. Without it, they become thin, dull, shine disappears, sebaceous glands begin to work more actively. To avoid these unpleasant consequences, it is necessary to observe not only the advice of professional trichologists, but also to properly nourish, moisturize and strengthen your curls.

• Wearing a hat is a must. And the lower the temperature outside, the warmer it should be.
• Stacking products can be used, but in minimal quantities.
• In the cold season, you must not only moisturize your hair, but also nourish and strengthen them.

A trichologist is that specialist who knows everything about your curls, so you need to not only listen to his advice, but perform all possible procedures alone at home.

• To clean the scalp, use only mild cleansers with a gentle composition.
• All combs, combs and hair brushes should be made of natural materials - bristles and wood.

• Hair styling products, as well as shampoos, should be with the most gentle composition and without a high alcohol content.
• It is better to choose funds for the care of curls, designed specifically for use in the winter season. Particular attention should be paid to protective indelible products - serums, sprays or mousses.

Curls of any type in winter need special care. But only depending on the type of strands themselves, its main parameters can vary significantly.

It is the owners of this type of hair who are more often faced with problems in the appearance and condition of their hair. Basic recommendations for dry hair care.

• Once a week, you should do either nourishing or moisturizing masks.

Owners of such hair often face increased activity of the sebaceous glands, as well as intense hair loss. Therefore, trichologists advise them to implement such recommendations.
