Autumn is here, time to pack away our summer gear and refresh our wardrobes ready for the cooler weather. For some of us however this isn’t just a time to update our clothing but also our haircare as well. The suns UV rays and humid days may have been a delight, but it would have also taken its toll on our locks. As the transition begins our hair becomes dryer lacking moisture and thirsty for nourishment, we are going to advice you on the products and rituals we recommend for maintaining shiny healthy hair throughout the chilly months ahead.
Smoothing the Cuticle
The centre of your hair is responsible for much of the strength in your strands, the layer above called the “Cuticle” protects it. However, summer elements often damage and raise this protective layer allowing our hair to become vulnerable to breakage and split ends. Trying to grow your hair but it won’t go any further than a certain length? Split ends slow this process down and can become disruptive to your growing strands as it causes fraying and thinning of your ends. Unfortunately, the only cure is to get your hair cut and do this as soon as you notice them, as the longer they are left they will continue up the hair shaft. We have experienced stylists available at all three of our salons across Birmingham who will be able to help you with all your hair needs. To book an appointment call 0121 711 1100.
De-tangling
Cuticle damage can also add to a lack of shine, dryness and more likely to tangle. Comb your conditioner through with a wide tooth comb, starting from the ends working your way up. Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil Mist is an oil-based spray that works a treat to protect, detangle and enhance body. Enriched with a blend of precious oils, the diffusing mist can be sprayed evenly onto the hair without weighing the hair down, thickening the look and diameter of every hair fiber with assistance of Intra Cylane Technology, it is also deeply nourishing leaving your hair tangle free. The Kerastase Elixir Oil is available at all three of our salons across Birmingham. We have salons located in Edgbaston, Solihull and Birmingham City Centre in the Mailbox.
Soothing the Scalp
Dry flaky scalp becomes more common in colder months not only due to the chillier climate but a change in diet and stress levels can also have an impact. Why not try out the Kerastase Bain Pelliclaire next time you’re in one of our salons. This shampoo will cleanse your hair of impurities whilst achieving luscious dandruff free locks.
