 Ten
Minute Revitalization for Your Hair....
Don’t let winter’s
chilly bite get you down! Even though the
weather can be frightful, your hair can still be
quite delightful, as long as you give it the
special care and attention it deserves. As the
temperature drops outside, you’ll have to be
extra careful not to expose your wet hair to the
elements, especially when the temperature is
below freezing.
If you want to beat the
frizzes, you can try a number of styling
products and special shampoos and conditioners
to give your hair a silky sheen. To combat
coarse hairs you’ll want to soften your hair,
and to defend against dryness you’ll want to
lock in some moisture. To accomplish all of
these goals and more, try a moisturizing hair
masque!
Treat your tresses to a spa-like makeover, sans
scissors. Set aside some time for yourself,
whether an extra two minutes in the shower for a
quickie hair masque or go all out with a
professional or homemade remedy out of the
shower. If you opt for the latter, don’t forget
to keep a shower cap or some plastic wrap and a
towel handy. If you opt for the former, merely
set aside between two and ten minutes for the
conditioning treatment to seep into your hair.
While products typically recommend that you
allow a certain span of time for the product to
soak into your hair, I’ve found that keeping the
product in your hair for even just a few moments
still produces positive results. Many deep
conditioning treatments suggest that consumers
apply these treatments to their tresses a
maximum of once every two weeks, so using a less
potent treatment every once in a while may also
benefit hair.
Even if you’ve never applied a deep conditioning
masque to your hair, it’s nothing to be afraid
of, and something you should try at least once.
Honestly, my first time using a hair masque came
about completely by accident. I thought I’d
picked up a facial masque at the store and upon
returning home, I learned of my folly. Too lazy
to take the product back and exchange it for the
one I’d wanted in the first place, I decided to
give the hair masque treatment a go. Much to my
delight, the potion did improve the condition of
my hair – on the first try!
Many herbs and naturally occurring ingredients
can positively impact hair’s condition. Try a
product like John Frieda Kelp Help deep
conditioning masque. The product usually sells
for between five and seven dollars and it relies
on the protein-rich sea kelp to renew and
revitalize hair, leaving it soft, silky, shiny
and smooth. This restorative hair treatment also
works to repair damaged and dehydrated hair with
a smart blend of algae and sea kelp. By
penetrating dry, coarse or damaged hair, these
components restore hair’s strength and natural
glow. The directions instruct that the solution
should be massaged into wet hair post-shampoo
and left on for ten minutes, though other
products may differ in their instructions.
To find a product that is best suited for your
hair, you may have to sample a few different
brands. Visit your local drugstore and check out
the entire hair products aisle for the best
selection, or consult your hairstylist. For less
than $10, you can restore your hair’s vitality
in ten minutes or fewer. Why face a costly trip
to the salon? Give your hair the boost it needs
with a leave-in or rinse out deep conditioning
treatment that you can easily do at home while
you shower or as you relax at night. Forget
about imprisoning your tresses in a ponytail all
day. Don’t let frizz and dryness control your
hair….
Take charge and let your lovely locks shine!
