Tips for Healthy Winter Hair from Junior Green Afro Hair Salon Kensington

Healthy Winter HairNow that the winter months are upon us and the days are much colder, it’s time to start thinking about ways to protect our hair from the damage that the winter elements can cause. Here are five tips that will help you maintain healthy, beautiful hair this season, brought to you by the afro hair experts at Junior Green afro hair salon in Kensington.

Trim Hair to Beat Split Ends In Winter 

Irrespective of how well you take care of your hair during winter, you cannot entirely escape split ends. Too much central heating can dry hair out, which can disrupt the hair structure, whilst damaging the cuticles in the process. Smooth cuticles reflect light better and make hair look shinier, unlike rough cuticles that leave us with dull-looking hair.  Additionally, the constant brushing of hair on woollen hats in winter can also cause split ends. The surest way to deal with split ends is getting a regular haircut. To avoid split ends, come to our West London afro hair salon for your regular haircut.

Prevent Flaky, Itchy Scalp During Winter

In winter, a bad hair day can become a few terrible hair months. As the weather gets colder, this can cause your scalp to peel and become itchy. While this is usually only temporary, it is still a problem you do not want. 

Applying a natural oil to the hair ensures it is well hydrated with essential moisture and nutrients. Do ensure the oil is right for your hair type. At our afro hair salon in Kensington, we stock only the very best hair products, perfect for your everyday hair care and styling needs. Pop into our salon anytime for some advice on the best afro hair care products.

Adopt a Healthy Diet

Healthy Winter HairDiet also plays a significant role in combating damaged hair. Ensure your diet is getting you all the minerals and vitamins your hair needs. Try eating plenty of protein and omega 3. Salmon is loaded with the strong hair supporters like vitamin D and protein, and it also contains omega-3 fatty acids that promote hair growth by keeping your scalp healthy. 

 

 

 

Prevent Dull & Damaged Hair In Winter

 It is common for many of us to spend much of our time in centrally heated rooms during winter. So, it is a no-brainer that our hair becomes dry, brittle and grows split ends during the winter months.  Consistently hydrating hair ensures hair does not dry out and reduces the risk of hair breakage. Another great idea is to treat your hair once a week to a deep conditioning treatment. This will help to replenish the moisture, which tends to get depleted from things such as the dry heat in your apartment and the cold winter air.
