The cold also damages your hair

It is no secret that the winter climate may be unforgiving for our skin, but have you ever noticed the effects it can have on your hair?

Most people change their skincare routines when winter arrives and many of us forget that the cold weather also significantly affects the health of our hair and forget to change our care to adapt to the new seasonal circumstances.  There are numerous factors that can cause our hair to lose its properties in winter, so it is important to bear in mind how the cold weather affects our hair and how we can respond to make our hair look and feel healthy all year round.

How does the cold affect our hair?

Cold, dry air causes hair cuticles to lift slightly. As a result, the moisture cannot remain locked into the hair stem, which explains the breakage and frizz during the coldest time of year. Similarly, the blood vessels in the scalp contract, so the sebaceous glands do not work as they should, leading to brittle, dry and frizzy hair.

In addition to this, the effects of the wind, temperature changes, heating, more frequent use of hairdryers, etc., also weaken the scalp, just like in summer but with even worse consequences.

How can we protect our hair from cold weather?

Well, now that we know that cold temperatures, dryness and the wind are our hair's worst enemies in the winter months, it is time to take the measures necessary to protects our hair and keep it healthy.

On one hand, it is vitally important to keep it hydrated. If your hair is prone to breakage and split ends at this time of year, now is a good time to change your shampoo. A shampoo with moisturising active substances will not only nourish your hair, but also preserve some of the natural oils that your scalp produces to keep it hydrated and healthy.

Both REDENHAIR's REGENERATIVE SHAMPOO and PRO-REGENERATIVE ACCELERATOR contain active substances that nourish the hair from root to tip, enriching it with the nutrients needed to keep it soft, shiny and healthy.

On the other hand, we need to protect our hair from damage caused by temperature changes. We can do so with non-aggressive products that stimulate healthy growth and protect the hair follicle from external factors.

In short, to counteract the effects of the cold, we must choose a range of products that nourish our hair and give it what the low temperatures have taken away. At REDENHAIR we have numerous products that not only prevent hair loss and keep air healthy, but also stimulate healthy growth while protecting the integrity of our scalp.
