Why this worksDuring November, cold air can strip moisture from your hair, leading to dryness and breakage. A consistent hydration routine helps maintain elasticity and shine. By incorporating the right techniques, you can combat the effects of seasonal changes on your hair.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with Cleansing Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo to cleanse your scalp and hair without stripping natural oils. Focus on your scalp, as that's where buildup occurs, and rinse thoroughly.
  2. Deep Condition Weekly Apply a rich, hydrating deep conditioner to your hair, focusing on the ends. Cover with a shower cap and leave it on for at least 30 minutes to let it penetrate deeply.
  3. Moisturise Daily Utilise a leave-in conditioner or moisturising cream daily to keep your hair hydrated. Apply it evenly, concentrating on dry areas, and seal in the moisture with an oil.
  4. Protect Your Hair In November, consider protective styles like braids or buns to reduce manipulation and protect your ends. Use a silk or satin scarf or pillowcase to minimise friction while sleeping.
  5. Limit Heat Styling If you use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant spray first. Limit heat styling to maintain your hair’s health and prevent moisture loss.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip deep conditioning, thinking regular conditioner is enough. Others may not moisturise daily, leading to dryness. Overusing heat tools without protection can also cause more damage than expected.

The pro moveTry incorporating a weekly hot oil treatment for an extra moisture boost.
