Look After Your Locks This Winter
As a female working in one of the most fast pace and ever changing industries, I love to experiment with my hair. I love getting some highlights to soften up my dark locks, as well as learn easy but effective styles that I can incorporate into my daily routine. Like many of you, I still have 3 children living at home as well as a national business to run, so my time is limited! I have come up with these top tips to help care for your hair this winter and make it look healthier than ever!
Supplements
I believe it is just as important to treat the roots of the hair as it is the ends of the hair. Hair grows from within your body so to maintain a healthy head of hair it is important to make sure your body is consuming the right supplements. Hair loss as well as thinning hair in women is a common issue, this could be the result of a deficiency.
I use what I believe to be the best, all natural supplements on the market; XtendLife.
Taken in conjunction together daily, this mix gives my body the boost it needs to be the best! A lot of people are nervous buying supplements online. These products are made in NZ and they have a 365 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with the results.
Limit The Tools
I know this may sound impossible to some people but I cannot recommend giving your hair a break at times. If you blow wave or straighten your hair every day, it is going to damage your hair and create a lot of split ends. You can try washing your hair at night and letting it dry naturally to style in the morning, or heat less rollers the night before to give you the volume and style you desire. This tip may not suit everyone but give it a go, your hair will thank you for it!
Massage That Scalp
Massaging the scalp has been proven to get blood flowing to the roots which then stimulates hair growth. About once a week before I go to bed, I take the tips of my finger and gently massage the roots of my hair for 5 or so minutes.
Regular Trims
It is so important to get regular trims every 6 to 8
weeks. You need to do this to get rid of all your dead ends and allow new, healthy hair to grow from the roots. Many women are scared to get trims regularly as they are trying to grow their hair longer, but regular trims will keep your hair healthier and will help it to grow. Just make sure you are clear with your hairdresser that you only want the dead ends cut off and you want to keep as much length as possible.
Weekly Treatments
Lastly, it is so important to nourish your hair and treat it to a good treatment. Any product containing keratin in it, is good for your hair. Keratin is what your hair is made up of and provides strength and toughness. I love using the Joico K-Pak range as it is affordable and lasts a long time.
