DO: Use a good conditioner
Perhaps more than at other times of
the year, in winter conditioning your hair can really make a difference
to its feel and appearance, and professional hair care products are a
must when conditioning. Use a top quality, moisturizing conditioner each
time you wash. Ideally, once a week, use a richer conditioner, slather
on and wrap the hair in a towel for ten minutes. This allows moisture to
penetrate more deeply into the hair as a result of the humid
environment created. When styling, a silicone-based serum can help to
tame the frizz and increase moisture levels even further.
DON'T:
Overdo it on the hot tools
During winter, the hair is exposed to
extreme temperatures, and this is the major reason for its suffering.
Outdoor weather combined with central heating increase static and
dryness, as do tools such as curling irons and blow dryers. While you
cannot escape from the first two problems, you can limit your use of hot
items, as well as protecting the hair by applying a leave in
conditioner before use. Washing the hair in warm water rather than hot
water can also help, as can using the 'cool' setting on your hairdryer.
This can mean that drying your hair takes longer, but the damage done
should be reduced.

Do not go out in winter with wet hair. Chances are
that your hair can freeze resulting hair late. So use a scarf or a hat.
Do not tie a handkerchief tight as you can stop circulation in the
scalp. Apply a conditioner daily. A leave in conditioner can do wonders
for your hair dry and brittle.
