5 Tips for Healthy Winter Hair

Bundle up, beauties! Winter is officially here. As temperatures plummeted last week, I was forced to break out my puffy down coat, scarf, gloves, and earmuffs on my daily trek to the office. And if the cold wasn't harsh enough, static cling is on the attack!

Some days, I walk into work looking like I stuck my finger in an electric socket. That was until I knew how to combat it properly. Don't let the cold weather get you (or your hair) in tangles. Without a good seasonal hair care guideline, dry, brittle, and staticky winter hair is inevitable. Learn how to sport healthy, vibrant tresses with these tips from the Pirri Hair Group.

Don't Overwash Your Hair
Limit your hair washing regimen to every other day to retain natural oils, and be sure to condition each time. Avoid rinsing with hot water — lukewarm water is best. End your shower with a cold rinse on hair to lock in moisture.





Trim Away
A trim at your favorite hair salon can really transform your 'do. Don't let the winter cold interfere with your maintenance routine. Trim off those split ends to avoid dry and damaged hair. Have some extra time? Ask your stylist to deep condition your hair to restore brittle, winter locks.




Avoid Static & Wind Struck Hair
The right product is the answer to static cling. Smooth fly-aways and protect your hair with a detangler or leave-in conditioner. With the wind at its peak this season, a good leave-in conditioning product will help combat tangling and breakage. Put on a hat to avoid tangling from windy weather and always avoid leaving the house with wet strands.




Dry Your Tresses Properly
Drying hair properly will eliminate the need for overusing additional styling tools that ultimately damage the hair. Here's how to get a great blow dry: Gently pat hair dry with a towel after showering to remove excess water. Brush and detangle hair by gently brushing with a wide-tooth comb. When blow drying, point the nozzle down from scalp to ends of the hair. The nozzle should steadily follow your brush at a 90 degree angle, leaving you with smooth, shiny hair.



Hat Head Solutions
Ever end up with dreaded dents in your locks? Sport a silk-lined hat to protect hair from unwanted hat head. Another tip: Avoid applying too many styling products that lead to greasy tresses.
