Winter Hair Care Tips by Melissa Bustamante

The more that you read, the more things that you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go. – Dr. Suess  

The best salons lead, educate and empower their clientele to learn how to look and feel their best not only when making decisions about color and styles but maintenance after they walk out of the salon.   Once you treat yourself to a new hair service, color or cut you always walk out feeling like a new person and we want you to  hold on to that loving feeling! 

Do you hear what I hear? Tis the season to standout!  This winter season is upon us and with it, it will bring the cold and dry air.  We want to ensure you do stand out, but not because of flakes or broken hair left on your shoulders from a dry scalp or damaged hair.   So let’s talk about what you can do to promote healthy scalp and hair and what services and products we offer.  

Heating- Especially in the winter try to limit over heating your hair be it with a hair dryer or iron, I know I know they are my best friend. So if you are like me and can’t break away from the heat just be sure to protect your hair. We recommend Redken’s Extreme Play Safe 3-in-1 leave in treatment and Redken Thermal Sprays Iron Shape 11 and 21. These are a must have for protecting hair from thermal heat and preventing damage.

Shampooing- When it comes to shampooing it’s during this time of year that we want to show a little TLC to our hair and scalp. How often you shampoo your hair should depend on how much oil your scalp produces or lack thereof.   When you think of your skin understand that your scalp is an extension of it and just as your skin needs bathing and moisturizing so does your scalp.   You know your hair better than anyone so if you have any doubt know that oily hair may need to be washed daily while dry and chemically treated hair not so much. Also, try to avoid pony tails and hot showers despite how relaxing they can be, luke warm water or cold water on your hair, scalp and skin will be less drying.  

Brushing – When hair is dryer than normal brushing gently is the way to go.  Remember wet hair is more fragile, so perhaps try to let it air dry first and brush later, brushing from the ends upward. We recommend a wide-tooth brush with smooth-coated prongs. Our favorites are our WET brushes!

And now for the best of the best products that will bring Joy to your world!
