Sad but true, summer is long gone and the cold weather is starting to live with us day after day. The drop in temperature causes our body to undergo changes, both in our skin and in our hair.
Although you may think that during some times of the year you have to take care of yourself more than others, this is not true. Regardless of the time of year, we always have exposomes that affect our hair and cause it to weaken. Some of these are wind, heating and more frequent use of the hair dryer.
The cold causes the capillaries of our skin to contract, reduces irrigation and the cells of the epidermis do not get the oxygen and nutrients they need. In addition, low temperatures also cause our cell renewal cycle to slow down and dead cells remain on our skin forming a thick layer.
TIPS for caring for your hair in winter
✨ Scalp:
To properly care for our scalp, one of the best practices to do is to use shampoos with moisturizing active ingredients in order to preserve the natural oils of our hair and be able to keep it hydrated and healthy.
In fact, to the surprise of many, the ideal is to combine 2 shampoos to provide our hair with the needs it needs. Here are our routines depending on your hair type:
In addition, it is important to protect the scalp because during this time the blood supply can decrease due to vasoconstriction, causing dermatitis and oil glands to work at half power, so it is advisable to wear hats.
👱🏼♀️ Hair updos:
During this time of the year, it is the ideal time to take advantage and have all kinds of updos. These hairstyles help to protect the hair as it makes them not so much in contact with the air and, therefore, our hair suffers less and does not break.
💥 SUPER TIP!💥 When doing updos, we should always keep in mind not to make very tight ponytails and use elastic rubber bands so that they do not break our hair.

🧖🏽♀️ Blow-drying:
Before drying the hair, it is advisable to wrap the hair with cotton fiber towels to help speed up drying.
When using the hair dryer, it is essential that we are careful with the temperature we use.
💇🏼♀️ Brushing the hair:
Once the hair has been washed, it is important not to brush it when it is totally wet as this is more fragile and there is more risk of fracturing the hair fiber more easily.
Therefore, once the towel is removed, we should use the hair dryer at medium temperature with a distance of about 15-20 centimeters.
🍑 Extra hydration:
To give the perfect nourishment that your hair needs, we have the solution: apply our silicone-free masks 1 or 2 times a week!
Thanks to their active ingredients, they are able to reconstruct and deeply moisturize our hair. In addition, they provide elasticity, shine and help control frizz.
For intense nourishment and hydration and to achieve the desired results from our Masks, it is necessary to apply them for a minimum of 20 minutes. 💥 Our best tip 💥 - if you want to have the hair of your dreams - leave the Mask on for 2 hours or even overnight.
