How to restore hair after a hot summer and prepare it for the cold season, says Ruslan Tazhiev, art director of the Paul Mitchell brand.
The first thing your hair needs after the summer sun and sea water is intense hydration. Be sure to include hydrating masks in your care program. Those that contain an amino acid complex, vegetable oils and extracts, seaweed and plankton work best. If you have long hair, use additional care products - indelible sprays, serums. But the split ends are generally better to cut off - it is almost impossible to restore them, just smooth the surface of the hair with styling. How to make your own hair oil, see here.
Sun-damaged hair should be pampered by salon care. Choose moisturizing programs - these are in the range of any professional brand. For example, the Paul Mitchell Kiss of Summer treatment will deeply hydrate hair, restore shine and give it a beautiful shade without darkening burnt strands and preserving the “glare effect”.
Dyeing hair is not forbidden. But if possible, give preference to ammonia-free dyes that provide additional care and protect hair from negative external influences.
It is worth temporarily abandoning aggressive lightening, which contributes to dehydration. Do not immediately after the holiday do a biological wave and straightening - let your hair recover a little.
With the onset of the first cold weather, change your hair care a little. Switch from moisturizers to more textured products - nourishing and restoring conditioners and masks. The composition of the funds should contain keratin, proteins, lipids, a vitamin-mineral complex that will support the hair during beriberi and prevent brittleness. If your scalp has become oilier and your hair gets dirty faster due to a headdress, pick up a seboregulating shampoo, for example, with citrus extract - it will solve the problem.
In autumn and winter, many people experience hair loss. This phenomenon is most often seasonal. However, certain measures must be taken. With a sufficiently strong loss, try ampoules for the skin - they stimulate blood circulation, increase the nutrition of the hair follicles and strengthen the hair. It is advisable to use the ampoules in tandem with a tonic shampoo (for example, based on mint). As a preventive measure, it is useful to do a weekly peeling of the scalp - special scrubs with water-soluble abrasives will free the epidermis from dead cells and improve blood circulation.
Another common fall problem is keeping your hair under your headdress. Strong fixation styling will have to be abandoned - the hair under the cap will simply stick together. Use light products, such as sprays and dry spray varnishes. Special sprays for this zone will help to keep the basal volume - they do not make the hair greasy and do not weigh down the hair.
