The hair stylist talked about proper scalp care in winter

In the cold season, the scalp often becomes dry and sensitive, tightness and itching appear, so it is especially important to properly care for it. This was announced on January 2 by the Golden Apple hair stylist Anna Zharova.

"The most common mistake is to actively nourish the length with oils, but ignore the condition of the scalp. Namely, the skin sets the quality of growth and overall comfort. In winter, the conditioner and mask work as a "protective film": they smooth the cuticle, reduce friction under the cap, give sliding and reduce brittleness," the expert noted in an interview with the newspaper.Ru».

According to Zharova, if you feel dry and uncomfortable, you should choose mild sulfate-free shampoos and avoid aggressive daily washing. Once a week, she recommended using moisturizers for the scalp — tonics, serums or lotions with soothing ingredients.

If the scalp, on the contrary, begins to get greasy faster due to wearing hats, the stylist advises not to "wash it out until it creaks", but to normalize the balance with a gentle cleansing, including scalp peels.

The expert also told how to build a basic winter care scheme. After each wash, it is recommended to use conditioner along the length, retreating from the roots and using a nourishing mask up to twice a week. For fine hair that loses volume quickly, it is better to choose lighter moisturizing formulas.

In addition, Zharova stressed the importance of permanent care during the cold season. Creams, serums, light oils or sprays help to reduce tangling under the cap, protect the ends from breakage, reduce fluff and electrification, and restore shine to hair. According to her, such products should be applied in small quantities, distributing them along the length, especially along the tips.
