Winter can really ruin our hair, with central heating blasting out, woolly hats causing friction and damage and heated styling tools frazzling our follicles. But don’t panic, as there’s plenty of things you can do to protect hair and restore its health. Here’s our five recommendations to try today.

Beauty starts within

Supplements can really help your hair health. Start with vitamins B, zinc, copper, vitamin C and keratin. These all promote growth from the inside out.

Nourish the scalp

Want a hairstylist approved secret to nourishing your dry scalp and encouraging hair health and growth? try using a hydrating hair oil before shampooing. Leave it in your half for half an hour, or even overnight, to give it time to nourish the scalp follicles and restore your hair's natural shine.

Finish your shower with a lukewarm rinse

Very hot water in the shower (especially for fine hair which is more delicate) can make hair even more damaged and dry. Instead, opt for a lukewarm water rinse at the end of your shower or bath. Colder water means will cause the hair cuticle to lay flat, which leads to a shiny, glossy finish.

Use heat protectant spray

Heat protection sprays create a barrier between the hair cuticles and the hot air from your hairdryer and styling products, minimising any moisture loss and preventing breakage and split ends.
