1. Fight Against Flakes
In winter there's less humidity in the air, which makes your scalp susceptible to drying out. Dandruff flakes can trap your hair's essential oils, draining your hair of its natural bounce. Lightly massaging your hair regularly with either your fingers or our
Scalp Massager can help by exfoliating loose skin flakes and stimulating blood flow, thereby warming your roots. Remember to be gentle with any brushing or massaging you may do as winter is hair is especially weak and susceptible to breakage. Also,
deep conditioning products work by trapping moisture at the root and providing a protective layer against dry winds.

Condition, condition, condition to protect your hair this winter[/caption] Dry hair carries with it an electrical charge that your hair picks up on. Hydration is the key to this problem; condition regularly and thoroughly with
our conditioners to trap in moisture. Additionally, avoid mussing with your hair throughout the day as this will only exasperate the electrical imbalance.
3. Heat Problems
You may calculate that turning up the heat is the best way to counteract the cold, but this is flat out
wrong. Any dry-hair problems you have during winter are made worse by the use of heated appliances such as flat irons or conditioners. Similarly, avoid excessively hot water when showering as this also dries out hair. Tepid water works as a nice alternative.

Certain hairstyles, such as buns or wraps, protect your hair in compact bundles and also remedy your temptation to constantly fuss or run your fingers through your hair.
