Surely Summer is the worst season for your hair, right?. Yes, our NZ Summer can do some damage with it's heat, but so can Winter.  Cold air means no humidity and this combined with wind can remove moisture from your hair, making it brittle and damaged.

Here's  our top 5 tips to help your hair through Winter.

1. Never Go Out with Wet Hair

Easily done during Summer, it just shouldn't be done when Winter is especially harsh - your hair can actually freeze and break if you are not careful. Now this probabaly wont' happen for us North Island girls so much but it is still important, so let your hair air-dry first.  If you are time poor, use a blow dryer but on the lowest setting so as not to dry it out completely.  Even better yet, wash your hair at night as it then has time to dry naturally before you go to bed.

2. Use Oil Based Treatments

Oil-based treatments are fantastic for restoring moisture to your hair. Pick a light one that you can leave in, such as Angel en Provence Inca Inchi Oil, as it will instantly boost vitality and hydration by way of 5 different oils and vitamins. These oils should be used on the ends of your hair to keep them protected and prevent split ends.

3. Deep Condition Your Hair Weekly

Moisture is the key to keeping your hair healthy during the winter months. Once a week, apply a leave in conditioner such as Angel en Provence Iris Restorative Leave in Treament, to bring the moisture back and combat static.  If you must use hot styling tools, deep conditioning will also help protect your hair. 

4.Use Hair Masks Weekly

You should also use a hair mask once a week. These can keep your hair protected all year round and add much-needed hydration to dry hair. They are easy to use; simply put it on your hair, making sure it’s all covered, and leave it for up to 20 minutes. Then wash it out. Hair masks are full of nutrients and can help soften and hydrate your hair. Our Angel Deep Sea Range has 3 different types, Dual Repair, No Yellow and Colour Protect ensuring all hair needs are covered.

5. Don’t Wash Your Hair Too Often

If you wash your hair daily, stop. Washing your hair too often removes the natural oils that keep your hair protected and moist. This is even worse in the winter.

Try to leave as much time as possible between washes, try washing it every two or three days with Angel en Provence Helichrysum Shampoo and Conditioner.
