TheHaiRazor Winter Hair Tips!

Buuurrrr it’s cold out there! It’s that season again, Winter! The greatest season ever! (Insert sarcasm here, LOL.)  Here are a few hair tips to help you and your hair during these winter months:

  1. Keep the hot stuff to a minimum! Avoid using curling irons or blow dryers a lot. Since it’s already dry outside, you don’t want to dry your hair out even more with excessive heat use.
  2. Wrap it up! Wear scarves and hats to protect your hair from the harsh winter winds. Avoid wool or cotton scarves and hats though, those materials can dry out and pull on your hair.
  3. Watch your collars! Be mindful of those wool and cotton collars on your winter coats. The materials can pull on your hair and cause breakage and hair loss to your nape area. Try using silk, satin, or pashmina scarves to cover your collars and protect your hair.
  4. Condition it up! Treat your hair weekly with a good moisturizing conditioner to bring back the moisture to your hair. The cold weather can drain your hair, making it feel dry and brittle.
  5. Love cold water. Once you condition your hair, rinse the conditioner out with cool water to lock the moisture in and give your hair extra shine.

TheHaiRazor Hair Tip: Switch Up Your Wrap!

It’s a standard routine for most women of color each night – wrapping your hair. You pull out your paddle brush and silk scarf and go to work, wrapping those locks, long or short, around your head. As time goes by, you notice that your hair feels a bit thiner on that one side that you constantly pull across the front of your head during your wrap. We hardly think to look at the way we wrap our hair. Wrapping your hair isn’t bad, it’s the way you do it. Instead of wrapping you hair going towards one direction all the time, switch it up! Every other week switch the direction you wrap your hair. This technique lightens the stress pull on your hair and will stop the thinning on that one side of your head. So remember, Switch Up Your Wrap!

TheHaiRazor Hair Tip: TALK To Your Stylist About Your Hair!

You might see the title of this post and say, “Hmmmm Uhhh Duh, Ayana! That’s what you’re supposed to do!” Yeah, well, talking to your hair stylist about your hair is easier said than done. I have some clients that will tell ALL about their hair and some… wwweeeelllll… it’s like pulling teeth! Then I have other clients that “tell half truths”. You know, those clients who are kitchenticians (clients who do things to their hair at home), mess up their hair, then say “Oh wow, I don’t know how THAT happened!”
Communication with your hair stylist is key. Don’t be afraid, we’re here to help! Let your stylist know EVERYTHING, medical issues, stress, hormonal changes, etc. These types of information can be crucial to your hair health. It will also let your stylist know how to properly care for your hair. So talk, ‘fess up, spill the beans! Cheers to GREAT HAIR!
