Winter for hair is not a holiday, but a time of severe trials. Woman’s Day has learned how to maintain a beautiful hairstyle in cold weather. Even under the hat!
After all, all winter “head problems” are easily solved, you just need to know a few secrets and rules. The stylist of the Estel company, an international master, an expert technologist and a teacher of the Estel Professional Academy, told us about them. Ekaterina Savannikova.
“It is almost impossible to protect yourself from static electricity. Of course, you can refuse hats and scarves, but in winter it is so cold in St. Petersburg that it will be difficult without them. And if the temperature outside the window dropped below -5 ° C, then a headdress is simply necessary to protect the hair follicles from hypothermia. The only thing that can be advised is to choose cotton and acrylic items. Compared to the rest of synthetics and wool, they do not electrify the hair as much. “
“The most important thing in winter is to provide nourishment to your hair. Due to the temperature difference in the house and outside, they become more fragile. And the usual products that you use throughout the year are not enough. This requires special care. Some manufacturers create entire series specifically for the cold season. Our brand also has such a line – Curex Versus Winter. But if you don’t want to give up your usual shampoo and balm, just add to them leave-in sprays, creams or serums that will protect your hair from washing to washing. Just pay attention: the products should be nourishing, not moisturizing – the principle is the same as for a face cream. “
“Pick a different shampoo and balm for the winter and use them correctly. A drop of shampoo, the size of a 5-ruble coin, is enough to wash your hair. The more the better principle does not work here. Do not forget to use the products along the entire length and rinse them thoroughly, and leave-in ones – apply to the hair, stepping back 10 cm from the roots. The fact is that the root length is “fed” in a natural way – with the help of the sebaceous glands, but the rest of the hair requires additional protection “.
“The head can be washed at any time of the day, the main thing is to dry it thoroughly afterwards. And don’t expect your hair to dry out on its own while you get to work. As a rule, the ends do not have time to dry out, and at negative temperatures the moisture remaining in them turns into ice and destroys their structure. In this case, the cut ends are guaranteed to you. “
“In winter, the risk of mechanical damage must be minimized. Reduce the use of hair ties, hairpins, hot dryers, and styling devices. If you still need to curl your hair, be sure to use thermal protection. And never comb wet hair – because of this, their fragility increases significantly. “
