Little Girl's Hairstyles: Winter Hair Care Tips

If any of you live in my same dry dry climate, you know that it can be hard on your hair, as well as your little ones. Here's some general tips that can benefit those flowing locks this winter:

  1. Don't go outside with damp or wet hair in the winter. Your hair could freeze, and if it's chilly enough, hair can breakoff. Wear a scarf and/or hat to protect wet hair (if it's a must), and use a good daily conditioner (or don't wash every single day!).
  2. Glossy hair is a reflection of your inner health. Take vitamins (yes for kids!), exercise, drink lots of water, avoid stress and smoking, and eat those veggies!
  3. Cotton hats are easier on your hair, as they create less static than wool or acrylic. You could try a cotton scarf under a wool hat as well.
  4. And remember, when using those high heat hair devices, always use a good heat protectant on your hair. It will help keep the moisture in that heat zaps away.
  5. Static filled hair usually equals dry hair. A quick rub from roots to ends with dryer sheets work great, but again, great daily conditioners or deep conditions 1 or 2x per week are helpful too!

Happy Winter days outside! Building snowman, sledding, ice skating= all great for happy healty kids (and hair!).
