Tips On Caring For Your Hair During The Winter

(WCCO) Winter weather is harsh on hair. Cold, dry air creates static, breakage and the frizzies, not to mention "hat head." So what's a Minnesotan to do? The stylists at Jasmin Salon Spa on Grand Avenue in St. Paul said they get lots of questions about winter hair care from clients. In general, most stylists agree that no matter your hair type, it is a good idea to keep it covered as much as possible when you are outside in frigid weather. The cold air dries hair out, especially if your hair has been colored, permed or relaxed. You need extra moisture to combat the damaging effect of that dry air. Here's what you can do: Use weekly deep conditioners and put a humidifier in your bedroom to add moisture while you are sleeping.If you use a flat-iron, curling iron or blow dryer to style your hair, be sure you are using some type of hair lotion with it to lock in moisture with all that heat.Also be careful with hats and scarves that are made of wool or wool blends.
