Canadian hair woes and how to cope<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Very dry hair<\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI usually recommend a leave-in conditioner<\/a> because both the hair and\u00a0 scalp become very dry here in winter,\u201d Stavre says. After her clients wash and condition their hair, she recommends they spray it with leave-in conditioner\u2014being sure to mist the scalp, too.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to try: P<\/a>rose Custom Leave-In Conditioner<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Breakage<\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, several municipalities across Canada have hard to extremely hard water, which means that it contains a buildup of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. This produces a film on the hair, making it difficult for moisture to penetrate. As a result, hair that is already dry can become even drier and prone to breakage. When this issue is left unresolved, it could even lead to hair loss. One way to address hard water is to install a water softener in your home; a less costly alternative is to purchase a water softener shower head. Look for ingredients like apple cider vinegar<\/a> that help protect against hard water. Read more about how to detect and combat hard water here<\/a>. <\/p>

3. Flat curls <\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With decreased moisture comes deflated curls, says Stavre. But she has a technique to bring back the bounce: First, wash curls with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Don\u2019t towel-dry your hair at all. Rather, put a towel around your shoulders to catch the drips while your hair air-dries. When the hair is just damp, spray in a leave-in conditioner, then distribute curl cream<\/a> from the mid-shafts through ends. Once the hair is about 90% dry, use a diffuser<\/a> on low to finish styling. <\/p>

4. Limp locks <\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people with straight or fine hair craving more volume in the dry Canadian winter air, Stavre recommends building lift in the shower with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Afterwards, blow dry the hair 90%of the way using a big, round brush.Then, allow it to air dry the rest of the way. Lastly, seal off ends from static with a bit of hair oil<\/a>. <\/p>

5. Lack of shine <\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsually in the winter, I advise my clients to shampoo three times a week,\u201d Stavre says. \u201cAlthough over-washing can exacerbate dryness, the buildup of product and debris can sap shine from hair.\u201d If you cleanse with the right<\/i> shampoo<\/a> and conditioner<\/a> for your hair, it will remove dirt without sacrificing hydration, Stavre says. <\/p>

Wrap up<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When thinking about Canadian weather, dry air is especially relevant. To retain moisture be sure to stock up on nourishing hair care products for in and out of the shower. For a perfectly personalized regimen, start here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
