HOW TO AVOID THESE 5 WINTER HAIR PITFALLS
We all know it’s true—the winter months are not the most favorable for your strands and wreak havoc on your hair’s health. It’s the cold weather mixed with the dry air of the indoors that can lead to unfortunate outcomes no girl wants to deal with—splits ends, breakage, static, and beyond. The frigid air shows no mercy; thick, coarse, curly, thin, straight, or extra brittle hair types are all prone to the damage caused by harsh weather and intense heat.
But good news—you don’t have to deal with it alone. Tackle this seasonal dilemma with Xtava! Try a few of our favorite hair tips to combat the cold and keep your mane moisturized and healthy all season long.
Shampoo Less—It’s That Easy
To reduce an itchy, flaky scalp, shampoo less. When you shampoo too often, it dries out the scalp and what’s that lead to? Annoying itch and flakes that ruin your day, but also, inhibit hair growth. To keep your locks thriving, try shampooing once every few days to add variation in your usual wash patterns.
Leave-In Conditioner, Goodbye Static
Let’s talk about static. You nail the perfect blowout and poof—you’re a static-fanatic. Static is a major sign of dry hair, so to stop it, condition regularly and follow up with a leave-in conditioner. Try our Xtava Rich Leave-In Conditioner with aloe vera juice, jojoba oil, and pequi oil to intensely hydrate, nourish, and repair strands.
Live Frizz-Free
When it gets cold, your hair does all sorts of crazy things and frizzing out is definitely one of them. This happens because cold air contains less moisture. Essentially, when winter weather arrives, it dries out your hair and makes your locks feel brittle. The key is a moisturizing hair mask—go for our Deep Conditioning Mask to quench the thirst of lifeless strands. Its contains pequi oil with proven results of up to 34% frizz reduction and 36% curl retention when applied to hair—treat your mane with a buttery mask and restorative ingredients.
Beat Hat Hair
The trick to beating hat hair is really quite simple. First off, be sure to have completely dry hair before any hats get involved—this prevents flattening and the “coconut head” shape we all know and hate. Go for wool or cotton caps as any synthetic fibers cause static. And last but not least, keep dry shampoo close by and give yourself a shake before walking inside. It pumps up the volume and gives you an extra umph.
No More Icicle Ends
Sick of the cold turning your hair into icicles every time you walk outside? Precaution is crucial. Be sure to give your hair a quick blow dry before walking outdoors and shoot it with our Heat Protectant Spray to prevent any damage. If you’re low on time, bring a scarf along and wrap it right around your head to cover your hair, especially the ends.
All in all, ladies, keep those lovely locks moisturized, protected, and always at their best—even during the cool season, keep your hair its hottest.
COCONUT OIL TO THE WINTER HAIR RESCUE
Coconut oil is the universal solvent, happy to hydrate your skin, serve as a culinary kitchen aid, and grease up anything around the home—a dry head of hair included. When your mane is feeling dry, don’t let it sit and suffer. Quench your hair's thirst with organic coconut oil.
This D-I-Y coconut oil hair mask is simple, inexpensive, and really no work at all. Rich in fatty acids that moisturize your scalp and rehydrate hair from the root to the tip. This well-known strand-saver penetrates the hair follicles deeper than any ingredient in your average, daily conditioner, which makes it an organic, healthy solution. Not only does it rid your locks of dandruff and itch, but combats frizz and promotes shine.
To make your mask, begin by warming the coconut oil for easy application. Scoop 2-3 tablespoons into a small cup halfway submerged in a bowl of hot water. Then, massage the melted coconut oil through dry or damp hair (application is easier when damp), moving from the scalp, down the shaft, to the ends. Use a comb to evenly distribute the oil. If you wish to promote hair growth, pay extra attention to the roots, and if you are prone to an oily texture, begin application a few inches from the scalp.
Once the application is complete, tie up your hair, pop on a shower cap, and let it sit for 45 minutes to 1 hour. For ultimate hydration, wear the mask overnight and shampoo normally in the morning, using extra hot water to remove any excess oil. If your strands are super dry, continue to apply tiny amounts of coconut oil to the ends and style as normal. Enjoy this amazing, at-home remedy full of nourishment and moisture.
