Winter is here! And like everything else in your life (coats, sweaters, tires, hose bibs!), it’s time to switch things up and protect your hair from the havocs of a cold-weather season. Here, five of the most common “winter woes”…and surefire ways to fix them.
THE PROBLEM: BIG-TIME FRIZZ
If your hair has texture – and we’re talking even the smallest amount of wave — wet and wild weather can do a serious number on your ‘do, leaving you with a head of maddening frizz.
THE FIX:
Grab Humidity Blocker+ Protective Finishing Spray, a highly protective styling product that calms down unruly strands, bypassing those “I can’t believe I bothered to dry my hair today” moments. It actually deposits a 24-hour invisible barrier against frizz, static, pollutants, and even hair-dulling sulfates and parabens.
THE PROBLEM: DRY STRANDS
Live in a climate with an extreme lack of moisture? Spending time in the overheated indoors? Relying on your blow-dryer because you can’t bear cold air on a wet head? All of these culprits can contribute to hair that’s parched and especially prone to split ends and breakage.
THE FIX:
Use Defy Damage Protective Masque, a five-minute treatment that goes into intense caretaking mode, infusing hair with a bond-strengthening prescription against dehydration and breakage. Hair becomes visibly healthy, shiny, soft, and supple hair after the very first use.
THE PROBLEM: STATIC & FLYAWAYS
Now let’s take the dry problem a step further: When there’s no moisture in the hair, and you add the friction of a hat (or even a pullover sweater), you run the risk of ending up with static electricity, and strands that stand straight up. Take out a brush, and the situation gets even worse.
THE FIX:
If you have medium to coarse hair, use a rich hydrating styler to inject body and control, while keeping flyaways at bay in the process. Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm provides deep hydration to thirsty hair, while maximizing strength and shine. If your strands are fine and flyaway, a delicate dose of moisture is just the ticket to restore a healthy luster: HydraSplash Gelèe Masque bathes hair with lightweight but powerful hydration for a full 24 hours without weighing delicate hair down. (Bonus tip: Try de-charging brushes by keeping a static-eliminating dryer sheet nestled among your hair tools.)
THE PROBLEM: YOUR ‘DO LOOKS DULL
Summer’s in the rearview and those blonde highlights are losing their trademark sheen…brunette hair seems to lack its usual glow…and even gingers have gone from rich to poor looking. Why? Because somewhere between the cold air and your hair, strands are missing moisture and causing the big color fade.
THE FIX:
Joico’s Colorful Collection – Anti-Fade Shampoo, Conditioner, and Glow Beyond Serum – is stocked with nourishing, sulfate-free ingredients like Camellia Oil and Pomegranate extract to preserve the vibrancy of gorgeous, investment hair color. The result is intensely maximized shine, vibrancy, 3X more strength, and less breakage. Blondes can also add Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo and Conditioner to the regimen, which helps maintain the brilliance of fair hair.
THE PROBLEM: HAT HAIR
Winter poms and fun fedoras are cute, chic, cozy, and warm – until you take them off. Which is when flat hair makes its inevitable appearance. And, btw, it’s neither cute nor chic.
THE FIX:
One of the coolest ways to inject instant lift into helmet hair that needs some oomph? Rise Up Powder Spray — a single, breezy “puff” of product that instantly dispenses super-fine, lightweight, flexible volumizing action throughout the hair. Use it before (and after) the hat comes off, and you’ll experience immediate volume and light texture at the roots – plus protection against environmental pollutants.
