3 Tips for Softer Hair This Winter
Winter is in full swing, leaving many women with dry, brittle hair that is not soft to the touch. The cold winter air can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it in need of some extra care. Want your hair to be soft, silky, and smooth even after a day spent in the cold air or after taking a ride on a motorcycle with aftermarket parts from Get Lowered Cycles? Keep reading for a few simple tips that can help.
Use a Hair Mask
To give your hair extra moisture, try using a hydrating hair mask in place of your daily conditioner. Products like the Olaplex #3 Treatment or the Amika Soulfood mask can strengthen the bonds of your hair while adding extra moisture, especially when left in your hair for a long period of time. Most hair masks can be used like a regular conditioner, or can be left in damp to dry hair for several hours, or even overnight. Don’t want to splurge on a high end hair mask from your favorite beauty retailer? Try using coconut oil or olive oil as a makeshift alternative that will leave your hair looking and feeling soft and silky, especially when it is left on your strands overnight before rinsing.
Hydrate After Washing
After washing your hair, it is important to replenish any lost natural oils or moisture with hydrating leave-in products. Rake a leave-in conditioner through damp hair, and follow with a hydrating oil on your ends. If you are blow drying your hair or planning on using any hot styling tools once your hair air drys, be sure to apply leave in products with heat protecting properties to minimize damage and keep your hair feeling soft. Once your hair dries, you can apply a dry oil or hydrating spray for an extra boost of moisture after styling.
Protect Hair While Sleeping
More damage can be done to your hair while you are sleeping than you might think. Investing in a silk pillowcase can help to protect your hair and keep it smooth and tangle free when you wake up in the morning, even after a long night of tossing and turning. Additionally, you can protect your hair by sleeping in braids or a low, loose ponytail to ensure that your strands will be smooth and easily brushable in the morning.
