Winter damage

[shampoodiva]

They say that winter weather can really damage hair and to use a good leave in conditioner. I have never used one, but I am going to this year. Does anyone have a suggestion on a good product?

I think it helps when you leave the conditioner in your hair five minutes before washing it out. You can try using lotion in your hair, but just put it on the ends. When the weather is bad try wearing a jacket with a hood on it. Everything we can do helps. I haven't used a leave in conditioner and would also like to know a good one.

A good way to leave conditioner on your hair longer in the shower is to shampoo and condition first. While the conditioner is on your hair, wash, shave, brush your teeth, etc. I spray a leave-in conditioner on my hair every day. I use Thermasilk leave-in conditioner detangler, otherwise I can't comb my hair.

What's really important in winter is to never go out in below-freezing temperatures with a wet-head! If your hair freezes, it breaks

Never use leave in conditioner next to the scalp. It will give you scalp acne the solution is too rich for that skin. My stratey if i am doing a leave in is to shampoo my har then let naturally dry. heat styling just blasts it, what is the point?

When it is damp dry then run it through your fingers and on the palms of your had, then mix thru hair, then brush hair. Blow dry a tiny bit on high heat to get out the wet and then on cool to fluff it up.

Then put a tiny bit more on the ends.
