5 Tips for Great Winter Hair

Winter is coming, but that doesn't mean that your magnificent mane must be left out in the cold. With proper care and maintenance, you can keep up your fabulous locks in wintry conditions as well. Here are five tips for keeping your hair beautiful when the weather doesn't necessarily want to cooperate.

Use Castor Oil

Castor oil is one the heaviest oils out there, which makes it easy for it to absorb into your hair, making it healthy and shiny. Some women even claim that castor oil has helped them to grow out their hair. You'll want to make sure it's hexane-free and cold pressed, so the best deals on castor oil may be available online.

Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

Using a satin pillowcase can be one of the best ways to ensure that you're not damaging your hair while you're asleep. Tossing and turning can take a toll on your tresses. A bonus of using the silk pillowcase is that the smooth surface may also be helpful for making your skin look good in the morning.

Use a Conditioning Shampoo

As we all should know by now, frequent shampooing can strip your hair of its oils and make it more prone to breakage. This is even more true during the frigid winter months, so be sure to use a conditioning shampoo that contains beneficial ingredients—or skip the shampoo altogether and just use a conditioner. Conditioners also contain cleaning agents, so you don't have to worry that your hair won't get clean.

Use a Heat Protectant Spray

We often find ourselves styling our hair with heat during the winter months—whether it's curling our hair to go out to a holiday party or flat ironing it to keep the frizzies at bay. Whatever your purpose is, you'll want to apply a heat protecting spray before you put the iron on your hair. This provides a type of shield for your hair, protecting it from some of the damage that heated styling tools can cause.

Break Out Your Home's Humidifier
Humidifiers can help out in countless ways during the dry winter months. Your hair can also benefit from absorbing some of the moisture that the humidifier puts into your home's air

Hair loss is a common problem among men and women alike. In fact, studies by the American Hair Loss Association show that approximately two out of three men over age 35 will experience some degree of hair loss—while women account for approximately 40 percent of all hair loss sufferers. Fortunately, advancements in medicine have led to the development of a number of hair restoration treatment options. Continue reading for tips on choosing the right hair replacement solution for your needs.

Determine the Underlying Cause of Your Hair Loss
One of the first steps to take when choosing a hair restoration option is to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss. For example, individuals who are suffering from hormone-related hair loss or thinning hair may be candidates for a hair transplant, whereas those whose hair loss is due to a more serious medical condition such as an autoimmune disease may need to explore other options.

Consider Your Hair Loss Pattern
It is important to consider your hair loss pattern in order to narrow down your treatment options. A hair transplant may be right for you if you are suffering from hair loss along your crown or hairline, while laser hair therapy may be better suited for individuals with thinning hair.

Consult with Your Hair Replacement Specialist
The best way to determine which hair restoration solution is right for you is to consult with your hair replacement doctor or hair transplant surgeon. An experienced surgeon will diagnose the cause of your hair loss, analyze your balding or thinning patterns, and review your overall health status to help you find the treatment option to suit your needs.
