The cold winter
weather has made it to our part of the state!
How is your hair dealing with these cold snaps and warm ups? During the winter our hair needs are
different then they are during the summer.
We expose our hair to more heat, which increases static electricity in
our hair. Lack of moisture during the
Winter is a problem also. Not having
enough moisture in the hair can cause it
to become brittle. This, of course, contributes to breakage and
fly-aways. If your hair is chemically
treated, this can be especially concerning to you. Another problem we have with our hair during
the winter is a lack of volume.
When discussing
winter maintenance I always take into consideration the type of hair we're
working with. What works for someone
with thick coarse hair is NOT going to work for that fine/thin/haired client
and vice versa. Making sure you have the
right product for your hair type is key to success. That being said here are the top 5 ways to
keep your hair in top condition this Winter.

Winterize your
hair with Joico's K-Pak Hair Treatment System. We start with a clarifying shampoo to
remove any minerals, impurities, or product build up. Once that is rinsed the next step is to
apply Joico K-Pak cuticle sealer. This
will smooth and tighten the cuticle while restoring the hair to it's natural
ph of 4.5 to 5.5. We then apply the
Deep Penetrating Reconstructor. By
rebuilding the hair's structure from the inside out, K-Pak re-energizes
stressed, damaged, and chemically treated hair. The last and final step is the Joico K-Pak
Intense Hydrator. This step
replenishes moisture and lipids to overly dry, damaged hair, rendering it
manageable, soft, shiny and hydrated. The Intense Hydrator seals the hair
cuticles and improves hair elasticity.

Protect your hair
while you sleep. Use a satin pillow
case or loosely pull your hair up.
That protects the hair from being roughed up while you toss and turn

While you're out
and about this Winter, be sure to
protect the ends of your hair from rough collars that come with heavy
jackets!

Use a Dry Shampoo
like Joico's Instant Refresh to cut down on the amount of shampooing and blow
drying during the Winter months. Using
less heat well not only keep your hair healthier but as an added bonus it
helps to save your color treated hair from fading as quickly.

Check your at home
routine to see if you may need to switch you shampoos and conditioners. You may find that you need more
moisturizing shampoo or one that will
increase the volume of your hair.

the Winter Blues with no problems.
