It’s cold in Chicago! One day, it’s bitter cold. The next day, it’s snow. On Facebook, my friend wrote: I don’t wanna to see another FLAKE; and I mean no flakes; corn flake, frosted flake and snow flake!! LOL
Ah yes, the harsh winter weather surely influences attitude, work life and outdoor activity. But also, the extreme weather impacts hair!
These days, clients are complaining about dry, lackluster hair. Many are experiencing dry scalp, thinning hair, dull hair and dandruff. If you fall into these categories, then this message is for you.
Today, I am motivated to share my 3 best natural remedy tips for combating winter hair:
1) Try an organic herbaceous, Apple Cider Vinegar rinse. Apple Cider Vinegar is beneficial for thinning hair, helps with dandruff, stimulates scalp, conditions and aids in shine. {My clients love my custom Apple Cider Vinegar rinse. My blend takes away the pungent vinegar smell.}
2) STEAM, STEAM and STEAM! Please give your hair steam treatments. The steam allows conditioners to deeply penetrate the hair; which yields some very fantastic results. If you don’t have a steamer at home, then consider visiting a stylist who offers steam treatments. (Helpful hint: Step 1: shampoo, Step 2: apply the Apple Cider Vinegar rinse and Step 3: give yourself a steam treatment.)
3) Don’t skip the Hot Oil Treatment! My personal hair care maintenance includes monthly hot oil treatments. {I personally hand-craft, organic olive oil and other essential oils to create my in-house specialty, Octavia’s Boss Blend. It’s the perfect seal to lock in moisture after the intense vinegar and steam treatments.
Lastly, I must communicate that the natural remedy hair approach takes time! To ensure hair healthy, the above listed treatments must be done routinely. Yes, you will notice a difference after the first treatment. However, you will continue to notice improvements with time. To this end, you must be patient.
Now, you know why my hair shines!
