Hello lovelies!
As the chilly winds of July and August 2024 sweep across South Africa, it's time to give your hair some extra TLC. Whether you're in the frosty heights of Johannesburg or facing the wet winters of Cape Town, your hair needs protection from the harsh elements. Let's dive into some winter hair care tips that will keep your locks looking luscious, regardless of your hair type, colour, or length.
Moisture is Key
Feeling like your hair is turning into straw with this dry winter air? We've all been there. The trick is deep conditioning treatments. Have a look at what we offer in our Simpli Hair Range to find a suitable Hydrating Hair Mask to be your new best friend, perfect for all hair types—from the kinkiest coils to the straightest strands. Trust us, your hair will thank you.
Gentle Cleansing for All
Ever feel like your hair gets greasy faster in winter, so you wash it more often? The secret is not to overwash because it strips your hair of those precious natural oils. Always opt for a sulfate-free shampoo. It’s kind to your hair’s natural balance and perfect for all hair types and colours.
Protect Your Colour
Got that gorgeous salon colour you want to last? Coloured hair needs extra love in winter. Use a colour-protecting conditioner and maybe a leave-in treatment. This will ensure you seal in that vibrant colour and add a beautiful shine. No more dull winter hair!
Tame the Frizz
Dealing with frizz in the coastal humidity? It’s the worst! But fear not, anti-frizz products are here to save the day. You'll find the best anti-frizz products that works wonders on all hair lengths and textures. Say goodbye to the frizz and hello to smooth, sleek hair.
Scalp Care Matters
Is your scalp feeling itchy and dry? That’s pretty common in winter. Find a good Scalp Revival Treatment. It soothes and nourishes your scalp, promoting healthy hair growth. It’s like a spa day for your scalp.
Heat Styling: Proceed with Caution
Love your heat styling tools but worried about damage? Always use a heat protectant! Invest in a heat Shield Spray, it creates a protective barrier for all hair types, from fine to coarse. Style away without the guilt.
Trim Regularly
Dreading split ends? Regular trims every 6-8 weeks can help prevent them, especially in dry winter air. This goes for all hair lengths, from pixie cuts to long locks. It keeps your hair looking fresh and healthy.
Night-time Nurturing
Why not protect your hair while you sleep? Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction, or wrap your hair in a silk scarf. This is especially beneficial for curly and textured hair. It’s like a beauty sleep for your hair.
Diet and Hydration
Did you know beautiful hair starts from within? Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Healthy hair, here we come!
