WINTER SHOPPING FOR HAIR...ROUTINES AND HAIR PRODUCTS BEST FOR YOUR HAIR!!!

The chill in the air is nice but it brings with it the not so welcoming feel to the hair. The cool breeze often leaves hair unmanageable and dehydrated and lead to hair problems like dry scalp, dandruff, frizzy and lifeless hair. Therefore, taking special care of your tresses is all the more essential during this time. I  here will share some of my valuable Tips for winter hair care to keep your mane healthy and the scalp refreshingly clean this season.
MOISTURIZE:
  • Keep your hair hydrated. Nourish with good conditioners and hair masques.
  • Twice a week, apply hair masque starting from mid length to the ends. Keep for 3-5 minutes and rise off.
  • New launched TRESemmé Smooth and Shine Masque and TRESemmé Anti Breakage Masque are good options for their intense conditioning properties to make hair smoother, softer and manageable.



DON'T BE HARSH:
  • Wash your hair twice a week. Do not shampoo too often.
  • Wash your hair with luke warm water. Avoid hot winter as it leaves the scalp dry and flaky.
  • Change your shampoo every 3-6 months to avoid your hair getting immuned to the shampoo.
  • Use shampoos that protect your hair from harsh weather. TRESemmé Climate Control shampoo + conditioner hydrates the hair and creates a barrier between the hair and harsh weather elements.




KEEP OFF THE HEAT:
  • Air dry your hair in winters.
  • Avoid excessive hair drying during winters. Blow drying makes the hair brittle and dry.
  • Try the cool setting of the dryer. The hair may take longer to dry but it’s worth it.



PROTECT AND COVER YOUR HAIR :
  • Keep your head covered whenever you step out in the cold.
  • Use hats or knitted caps with satin or silk lining. Cotton, wool and other fibres absorb moisture and rub on the hair strands, thus damaging the hair.




USE FRIENDLY HAIR GEAR :
  • Wear hair pins to secure hair while stepping out.
  • Use bobby pins or elastic bands to secure the hair. Avoid metal components as hair tends to tangle when wrapped around the metal.

WINTER SHOPPING FOR SKIN....SCARE AWAY THE DRY WINTER!!!

Winter brings with it the bane of dull skin, cracked heels, and other kinds of skin damage. But, by making a few things a staple part of your daily beauty regimen, you can rest assured of supple, dewy skin, even during winter.
A Gentle Cleanser
During winters, regular cleansers can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leaving it dry and brittle. To avoid this, switch to a gentle cleanser during the winter months – hydrating or soap-free cleansers are a good option. If you have naturally dry skin, you could also use after bath oils to help lock in some of skin’s natural moisture.
Daily Moisturiser
Be generous with the moisturiser if you have normal to dry skin. Moisturisers with Aloe Vera or Shea Butter are great at soothing skin irritation brought on by the unwelcome combination of dry, brittle skin and cold weather. Even those with oily skin should use water based moisturisers to help keep the skin supple.
Sunscreen
Contrary to popular belief, sunscreen is not just a summertime skin care staple. It’s as necessary to slather some on during winter. Sun damage, when combined with skin dryness brought on by the weather, can cause further irritation. It’s therefore a good idea to continue using your regular sunscreen irrespective of the season.
Lip Balm
Chapped, dry lips are probably the biggest bane of the cold months, and one that’s the easiest to forget about until it’s too late. To avoid painfully chapped, dry lips at a later stage, make sure you keep your lips sufficiently protected. Carry a lip balm at all times, reapplying whenever your lips feel dry.
Hydrating Night Cream
And last but not the least, it is at night, while you sleep, that your skin rebuilds and repairs itself, and it is therefore necessary, to help aid this process. Hydrating night creams do just that. They also help keep the skin moisturised and supple.
