Winter Hair Woes? Let’s Fix Them!
Let’s chat about winter and the toll it takes on our hair. Have you noticed your hair feeling drier, flatter, or more brittle lately? I certainly have! I’ve just stepped off a flight from sunny South Africa, and I can feel the effects already. My skin feels tight, my hair is static and lifeless—it’s winter hair struggles in full swing.
Cold air during winter works just like the dry air on planes—it strips moisture from your hair and shrinks each strand, leaving it weaker and more prone to breakage. But don’t worry, there’s plenty we can do to keep your hair nourished and healthy through the colder months.
How to Rescue Your Hair This Winter
1. Up Your Treatment Game
If you’re already using the GF Fabulosity Hair & Scalp Elixir once a week, try using it twice a week or even before every wash. Apply it generously from root to tip to give your hair the nourishment it craves.
2. Conditioning is Key
Winter is the time to double down on conditioner. Use rich, moisturising and reviving conditioners after shampooing, and don’t skimp on application. Have you heard of “milking” your hair? It’s a technique to make sure every strand is properly hydrated. If you’re not sure how to do it, visit us at the salon, and we’ll show you.
3. Be Gentle with Wet Hair
Wet hair is fragile and more prone to breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft brush and avoid pulling. If you’re looking for extra protection, switch to silk pillowcases or silk turbans—they help retain moisture and reduce friction.
4. Dry Your Hair with Care
Never head out with wet hair in winter—it can weaken and damage your strands. But over-drying isn’t great either! Towel-dry your hair gently to remove excess water, and then blow-dry on a medium heat with a slower air blast. This will protect your hair and prevent breakage.
5. Treat Yourself in the Salon
Winter is the perfect time to pamper your hair. Ask your stylist about our specialised treatments, like the Micromist, Hair Botox, or a quick 15-minute moisture boost at the basin. These treatments help lock in hydration and smooth the cuticle, leaving your hair feeling soft and luxurious.
