How to weatherproof your hair… if you live in Joburg

Warm, dry days and cold nights like those in the Highveld will have you battling brittle strands, split ends and frazzled lengths. Here are the tips and products you need to kick those winter woes:

Don’t over wash

Frosty air can zap the moisture right out of your hair, leaving you to deal with pesky static ends that refuse to lie flat. The most common culprit? Over-shampooing can strip natural oils from your hair, leaving you with strands that stand on end – literally.

Make a leave-in your new BFF

The best way to stop dried out strands in their tracks is to skip a day or two of washing, and spray a leave-in conditioner all over your hair to coat locks with extra moisture.

Use a mask

If you really want to safe-guard your style from drying out, use a deep-conditioning mask once a week to help replenish moisture levels and prevent ends from fraying.
