So that precipitation and sudden changes in temperature do not affect the condition of your hair, arm yourself with our simple yet effective tips!

hair food

Although winter pleases the eye with magical landscapes, it is merciless to the skin and hair. Low temperatures, dry air in heated rooms, as well as a lack of vitamins have an extremely unfavorable effect on the condition of our curls. They become dry, brittle and lifeless, so they require special care, which includes deep nutrition, hydration and restoration. But first of all, you need to adjust the diet: after all, the beauty and health of the hair primarily depends on what we eat.

During the cold season, our hair needs omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, proteins, calcium, zinc, vitamins and minerals. Therefore, include red fish, white meat, sour-milk products, vegetables, fruits and legumes in your diet. If you want your hair to grow well and be soft and moisturized, take fish oil and a general strengthening multivitamin complex.

Winter shampoo: clean the roots, nourish the tips

When we see healthy, well-groomed hair, the first thing we want to know from their owner is the name of the shampoo. Although full-fledged care for curls includes not only cleansing, shampoo is still the head of everything. With the advent of winter, give preference not only to cleansing, but also to nourishing and regenerating shampoos, since during the cold period, hair type can change significantly. Accordingly, not only dry, but also normal and oily strands need intensive nutrition and hydration. As a rule, hair becomes drier in winter. The most common problem is oily roots and very dry, brittle, dehydrated ends.

In this case, it is best to buy shampoos with the most gentle formula, without parabens, silicones and dyes, with an active plant formula. For example, nourishing shampoo for dry and damaged hair Item Alpha 3 Shampooing contains a rich vitamin complex that strengthens the roots and stimulates hair growth.

The balm actively cares for the hair, restoring it and saturating it with useful substances — essential oils, proteins, minerals and other highly active components. If the conditioner is distributed through the hair, avoiding the roots, then the balm is applied from roots to ends. Although these two products are necessary in any season, it is still better to use the balm more often in winter, as it deeply nourishes and restores hair along the entire length.
