Your YL Winter Hair Care Guide: Keeping Your Hair Hot in the “Cold Season”…
As the chill of winter approaches, it becomes imperative to give your hair the extra care and attention it deserves due to the harsh effects of changing weather conditions. This holds especially true for those who indulge in the versatility and luxury of Yovanka Loria Hair Extensions.
Let’s dive into the non-negotiable tips for winter hair care, focusing on maintaining the health of both your natural hair and your Yovanka Loria Hair Extensions.
Hydration is Key:
During the winter season, it’s crucial to acknowledge the impact that dry air and indoor heating have on your hair.
These factors can deplete moisture, leading to brittle, fragile strands that are prone to breakage. To combat this, prioritise hydration by drinking plenty of water and incorporating a hydrating shampoo and conditioner into your hair care routine, such as The Moisture Senses Pack by Davroe.
Additionally, treat yourself to weekly deep conditioning treatments and hair masks to nourish both your natural hair and extensions.
Less is More: Slow Down on Washing:
While maintaining clean hair is essential, over-washing during winter can strip away your scalp’s vital natural oils, leaving it much more susceptible to dryness.
To prevent this, aim to extend the time between washes and opt for dry shampoo to refresh your roots instead.
Additionally, when washing your hair, utilise lukewarm water instead of hot water, as hot water can contribute to dryness.
Slow & Steady Wins the Race: Gentle Brushing
Hair is generally more prone to breakage in winter, making a gentle brushing technique crucial. Start from the ends and work your way up to prevent tugging on knots and snapping strands.
We recommend using a wide-toothed comb or a delicate brush with soft bristles, like the Yovanka Loria Detangler Brush.
Moisture: Locked & Loaded:
Seal in much-needed moisture by applying a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to both your natural hair and extensions.
This extra layer of protection helps combat the dry winter air and prevents frizz and static, which often expose and worsen split ends.
Avoid Excessive Heat at ALL COSTS:
Heat styling tools can be highly damaging to your hair all year round, but they pose an even great
er risk in winter when your strands are already more prone to dryness. Minimise the use of curling irons, straighteners, and blow dryers. If you must style with heat, apply a heat protectant spray beforehand and use the lowest heat setting possible.
Professional Maintenance:
Regularly visit a professional stylist for the maintenance and upkeep of your Yovanka Loria Hair Extensions.
A professional stylist will trim any split ends, ensure proper extension attachment, and provide personalised advice for caring for your specific hair type during winter.
It just goes to show that with proper care, anything is possible. Remember to keep your hair well-hydrated, protect it from the cold, and handle it with care.
