Stop the Snap: Prevent Holiday Hair Breakage

The holiday season is all about joy and celebration, but it can also be a challenging time for your hair. Cold temperatures and dry air can lead to increased breakage, leaving your locks feeling less than festive. With these tips, you can protect your hair from seasonal stress and keep it strong all winter long.


 

  1. Detangle gently. Use a wide-tooth comb and work from the ends to the roots to minimize breakage.


  2. Avoid tight hairstyles. Opt for looser options like soft braids or low buns to reduce tension on your

    scalp and hair.


  3. Protect with styles. Try protective styles like twists or braids to shield hair from environmental stress.


  4. Trim regularly. Schedule a trim every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends from traveling up the shaft.



  1. Reduce overwashing. Shampooing too often can strip your hair of natural oils. Aim for 2-3 times a week.


  2. Use strengthening treatments. Products with keratin or biotin fortify

    weak strands.


  3. Swap towels for microfiber. Microfiber towels gently dry hair without causing friction or breakage.


  4. Shield from the elements. Wear a scarf or hat outdoors to prevent exposure to dry, cold air.


  5. Choose gentle hair ties. Avoid elastics with metal clasps, and opt for silk scrunchies to minimize damage.


  6. Use bond-building treatments. These strengthen the internal structure of your hair, keeping it healthy and resilient.


 

Preventing breakage ensures your hair stays strong and full through the festive season.

Breakage doesn’t have to be part of your winter routine. With these easy steps, you can protect your hair and keep it looking its best, no matter how cold it gets outside. Enjoy the holidays with healthy, happy hair!
