Daily

With the nights closing in and the weather decidedly colder, it’s the perfect time to adjust your hair care routine. Take stock of your shampoo and conditioner of choice, are they going to do the same job in winter, as they did throughout summer? Chances are they won’t as your hair is drier at this time of year as it experiences conflicting environments. Make sure to use products specifically designed to address this issue, and ensure that your shampoo isn’t so harsh that it strips your strands of essential oils. We recommend Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo 250ml it actively protects against free radicals and delivers incredible shine and vitality throughout the winter months.

A hair oil should also form part of your daily hair care routine, why not try Redken Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine, rich in natural nourishing oils, it creates hair that is three times stronger with twice the shine as it softens, repairs and hydrates coarse, distressed hair in need of some TLC.

Weekly

Indulge your glossy glory in a weekly treat by adding a deep conditioning hair care treatment to your routine.

Winter Styling Tips by the Experts!

Did you know that ‘hat hair’ is a thing of the past? Before slipping on your hat, style your hair in a way that adds body. Hats actually trap heat, causing your hair to hold whatever shape it’s in, so if your hat is pushing down on your lovely locks, it will stay that way. However if you add volume and boost it at the roots, you’ll lock in volume. Depending on your hairs length here’s what to do:

Long Hair: Grab your hair and twist into a bun at the crown of your head, tie with hair elastic and then put your hat on top. Once you get inside, shake out your bun and voila gorgeous, full hair with body!

Short Hair : Pull the front section of your hair into four mini bumps and fasten with bobby pins before your put your hat on. Once inside, remove the bobby pins and flip your head upside down, using your fingers to reshape and restyle!
