Winter Hair fades

People tend to do a lot more color, highlighting and perms in the winter. Winter hair becomes, darker, duller due to less time in the sun. You can combat this with color or highlighting.

I think highlighting looks best. Lots of people already highlight, but those who don't probably should! It's a sure fire way to liven up the hair and make it through the winter doldrums.


Add moisture to your hair.

Especially necessary if you've had any chemical work on your hair. Look for a conditioner with cetyl alcohol.
It's the best moisturizing agent and is derived from coconut. The molecular structure of coconut is too large to penetrate the hair cuticle, but by extracting the molecule and altering its size you end up with cetyl alcohol.

Another ingredient to look for is cetearyl alcohol.

It's a very good moisturizing agent for conditioner and shampoo.
Most people can get away with a good moisturizing conditioner.
If your hair is very damaged or dry look for a moisturizing shampoo as well.
