Winter HairCare Tips 2011

Well I know it's a bit early but have you seen the weather today, seriously though clip on hair extensions care throughout the autumn and winter is very important for hair health in the shortterm and longterm. During the winter hair can become damaged from the cold weather outside. Below are some of the preventative measures you can take to reduce the amount of damage over the coming winter period.
Tip one though fairly obvious is to reduce the exposure to cold dry or wet weather as much as possible. I realise this is not possible all the time, especially when doing Christmas shopping. In order to protect your hair from damage from the wind and cold, wear a hat when outdoors. Make sure the Hat is not too tight as this make restrict circulation to your scalp, which in the long term can cause hair loss. One of the most important preventative measures is to make sure you conditioner your clip on extensions daily or every other day in order to keep your hair moisturised and replenished of any minerals and vitamins lost repairing. Another method I have used in the past is to run my hair through some cold water after a shower to lock the moisture in. Make sure your hair is completely dry before venturing outside. Going outside with wet hair in the winter is the number one cause of hair damage and breakages.
One of the thinks people get wrong is that the rain and snow causes the hair damage. This is a misconception most hair damage over the winter period is caused by Drying of the hair. This is why you should try to limit the amount of blow dryers and curling irons over the winter as this dries your hair even more. In order to reduce the moisture loss in your remy hair extensions clip in, you should not to have hot showers or washing your hair in hot water. This opens your hair up to even more moisture loss when going outside. I normally have warm/cool showers and wash my hair in cold water. This reduces the exposure to the cold and traps the natural moisture in your hair.
There are many products that claim to reduce the damage to hair over the winter, though these may work I feel using these tips with a healthy diet the products should be used as an extreme measure to combat winter wear and tear.
