The festive season is here, heated styling for all those parties, and even a bit of festive glitter in your hair!
While it’s the season to look your best, ensuring your hair remains healthy and vibrant is also essential.
Here are 5 expert hair care tips to keep your locks in top shape this Christmas.
1. Nourish Your Hair with a Hydrating Routine
Winter weather can strip your hair of moisture, leaving it dry and brittle. Combat this by incorporating hydrating products into your routine. A moisturizing shampoo and conditioner enriched with oils like argan or coconut can do wonders.
Bonus Tip:
- Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week to lock in moisture and restore shine.
DIY Treatment Idea:
Mix 2 tablespoons of coconut oil with 1 tablespoon of honey, apply it to damp hair, and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing.
2. Protect Your Hair from Heat Styling
Holiday parties mean more blow-drying, curling, and straightening, which can weaken your strands. Protect your hair by always using a heat protectant spray before styling.
Why It’s Important:
Heat protectants act as a shield, minimizing damage from high temperatures and keeping your hair soft and smooth.
Pro Tip:
Keep your styling tools at medium heat to avoid unnecessary stress on your hair.
3. Say Yes to Regular Trims
Split ends can make your hair look dull and frizzy, especially during the dry summer months. Schedule a quick trim before Christmas to remove damaged ends and keep your hairstyle looking fresh.
How Often Should You Trim?
Every 6–8 weeks is ideal, especially if you use heated tools frequently.
4. Add Shine with Hair Oils and Serums
Holiday lights aren’t the only thing that should shine this season—your hair should too! Hair oils and serums not only provide a glossy finish but also protect your hair from dryness.
Best Ingredients to Look For:
- Argan oil for a natural shine.
- Jojoba oil to reduce frizz.
- Vitamin E to nourish your scalp and hair.
Application Tip:
Apply a few drops to the ends of your hair after styling for a polished, frizz-free look.
5. Protect Your Hair During Festive Fun
Whether it’s outdoor caroling, your hair faces challenges from the cold and even heat indoors. Protect it by covering your hair with a stylish scarf or hat when outdoors and avoiding standing too close to heaters or fires.
Holiday Bonus:
If you’re using glitter or hair spray for your party look, be sure to wash it out thoroughly to prevent product build-up. Use a clarifying shampoo followed by a hydrating conditioner.
Quick Holiday Hair Care Checklist:
✔ Use satin or silk pillowcases to reduce hair breakage while you sleep.
✔ Avoid over-washing your hair to retain its natural oils.
✔ Drink plenty of water to keep your hair hydrated from the inside out.
✔ Treat your scalp with a gentle massage to boost circulation and promote healthy growth.
