Does your Hair have the Winter Blues? Joico has an Answer for That!

     During the winter months our hair can take a lot of abuse. In colder months we tend to use more hot water and use hot styling tools more often, and that can increase the damage to our hair. I've listed some of the more common hair challenges that we experience during winter months.

     Many of you will find that your summer blonde seems to lose it's sparkle during the winter.  An easy fix for this is Joico's Blonde LifeBrightening Mask! You'll love how it instantly hydrates bleached, double-processed, or high-lifted blonde hair, while adding softness and shine. This brightening mask also neutralizes chlorine and removes trace minerals that lead to dullness and yellowing. This treatment takes 2-5 minutes once or twice a week, after your shampoo. For best results use with Blonde LifeShampoo.

     Some people have a different challenge all together. During winter months their hair tends to be dry, split, look dull and have breakage. To combat this issue, try using Joico's Defy Damage line. Defy Damage Protective Masqueis an intensive damage prevention treatment. Your hair will see instant results after the first use.  In just 2-5 minutes your hair will be soft, silky, shiny and healthy-looking.  DefyDamage Protective Masque helps prevent and protects hair from daily damage. For added strength and bond building use with Defy Damage Shampoo.

     Fragile, fine hair is in a different category all together.  During winter months, fine hair can be full of static, fly aways, and be dry, but adding any moisture tends to flatten or make fine hair look greasy. Joico's answer for that is the HydraSplash line for fine/medium, dry hair.  HydraSplash HydratingGelee Masque is a 5 minute treatment that will have your hair looking replenished, shiny, and healthy after just one use. It won't weigh your hair down, and when used with HydraSplash Shampoo, will hydrate your hair for 24 hours.

     For those of you that have naturally dry hair, yes that includes naturally curly and thick hair, you 'll love the Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm. This 3-5 minute treatment will replenish and deeply hydrate your dry hair. It will also reduce frizz, add softness, shine and movement while reducing breakage up to 80%. To receive the best results , use 1 or 2x a week with MoistureRecovery Shampoo.

     For Fine, dry hair that needs repair, I would recommend K-Pak IntenseHydrator. Actually this treatment works great for all hair types. You'll find that your hair will de-tangle with ease, frizz will be reduced with softness and radiance improved, all while repairing damage. For more repair and protection use with K-Pak Shampoo.

     Do you use a lot of heat on your hair?  Heat can be one of the biggest contributors to damaged hair.  Joico's Award Winning K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor is your answer.  Stylists have voted this product as their  'Favorite Damage Repair Product' 15 times.   This 5 minute treatment repairs hair instantly.  It works quickly to visually and physically transform each strand of hair, it strengthens hair and protects against future damage. For best results use with K-Pak Shampoo to repair damage.

     For dull, colored treated hair, you have a special need to protect that color from fading.  My suggestion is K-Pak Color TherapyLuster-Lock Treatment.  This 3-5 minute treatment will deeply repair and nourish color treated hair, locks in color vibrancy and instantly adds shine.  This is also a great treatment for curly hair. Use K-pak Color Therapy Shampoo to preserve color and repair damage.
