Emerson Salon – Capitol Hill Seattle

With summer a fading memory and winter dead ahead, your house and car aren’t the only things that need winterizing! Your hair won’t be under a wool cap all winter, so try the following simple steps to keep your do looking fantastic through the snow, sleet and cold:

1. Work with your natural texture. If you’ve got curls, don’t fight them. The weather is sure to win! Careful with that flat iron – too much will only result in dry, dull hair. Try applying a curl activator, along with a shine serum, to damp hair. Next, take small sections and twist. Finish off with a diffuser.

2. Try adding a few drops of an essential oil, like lavender or tea tree, to your daily conditioner 1-2 times a week. This will not only add some extra shine to your hair and help to condition your scalp, but will smell great too.

3. Your diet also has a lot to do with the health of your hair, skin and nails. Drinking plenty of water and eating foods high in Omega 3 will boost the shine and integrity of your hair.

Stay tuned for my next post on how to keep your skin and lips looking and feeling great through the winter as well.
