THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO WINTER CARE Ah, the ravages of winter and the toll it takes on our hair! Follow the tips below to ensure your hair stays beautiful and healthy despite the cold, dry air and other problems winter can bring! 1. CONDITION, CONDITION, CONDITION !   Dry heat and cold weather sap hair of moisture. Because dry hair breaks easily, the most important thing you can do during the cold months is to deep condition regularly and use a more intensive daily conditioner. 2. AVOID USING HEATING APPLIANCES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Using a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron dries hair out even more in winter. 3. AVOID CHEMICALS. Don't perm or use peroxide-laden color in winter. 4. DON'T CLARIFY TOO OFTEN. As wonderful as using a clarifying shampoo or rinse is at removing hair product buildup, most tend to remove the protective oils from the hair shaft... oils that are very much needed to protect hair during the harsh, cold months. It's important that when you do clarify in winter to be sure to use a gentle clarifying shampoo. 5. COVER UP! If you are going to be outside, especially in extreme temperatures or wind, use a pretty silk scarf to protect your hair from the elements. Sun can also be as damaging in winter as it is in summer! 6. REMEMBER THAT YOUR HAIR IS MORE SENSITIVE! Hair is brittle in winter, and thus be much more delicate. 7. TRIM OFTEN. If you are maintaining length, trim your hair about a half inch a month using a good pair of sharp styling shears that you use for nothing other than trimming your hair! If you are actively growing your hair, trim it a half inch every other month during the cold season. This will help prevent any breakage from moving up the hair shaft and causing you a boatload of trouble later! 8. AVOID EXCESSIVELY HOT WATER WHEN YOU WASH YOUR HAIR ! Hot water is drying to hair. Rinse in tepid or even cold water for smooth, shiny hair all year 'round!

9. BEAUTIFUL COLOR FAMILY Extend the life of your dye with this line that provides enhanced protection against the color-sapping effects of the sun & environmental polluants. Intelligent moisturizers and reparative ingredients target the most parched and damaged areas leaving color rich to eyes and hair soft to touch. Intense cuticle-enriching conditioners, color-protecting UV filters and next-generation frizz-taming biopolymers supercharge this reparative, glossifying trio.
