THE EASIEST WAY TO 10x STRONGER HAIR
We winter-proof our wardrobes but few of us winter-proof our hair. The cold weather is hard on hair – it sucks the moisture from it when you're outside, whilst indoor heating does the same. It can lead to fragile strands, split ends and breakage. Winter-proofing your hair will make it stronger, healthier, and more resilient to this harsh time of year.
Discover my top tips for how to get stronger hair, from your roots down to your tips.

How to get stronger hair
1. Don’t overuse heat
While it can be tempting to blast wet hair with a hairdryer rather than letting it air dry, try not to overuse heat on your hair. Using too much heat on your can contribute to elasticity loss, consequently making your hair more prone to damage and weaker. Heat damaged hair cannot retain moisture as well, often leaving hair dehydrated and dull, so is more prone to breakage.
2. Use the right products for your hair type and goals
Not all hair products are made the same way, nor for the same purpose. Using hair products that are designed for and suited to your hair goals – from volume and hold to anti-frizz and heat protection – can make all the difference.
3. Use a hair treatment or mask
Every now and again your hair needs an extra boost. So using a hair treatment or hair mask that is packed full of hair-loving ingredients can help to strengthen hair. Look for masks containing ultra-moisturising ingredients, such as shea butter and castor oil, to help prevent weak, dry hair that is prone to breakage.
4. Get your vitamins
As well as helping to keep you healthy, vitamins work to help keep your hair strong and healthy too. Look for products containing natural sources of essential vitamins such as A, C, E, B, B6 and iron. For example, shea butter is a source of both vitamins A and E. So using shea butter enriched hair care is one way to add these vitamins into your routine.
5. Take care of your scalp
While it may be a surprise to some people, your scalp needs just as much TLC as your hair or your skin. By ensuring that your scalp is healthy and nourished, you can help to ensure that the hair that grows is also in tip-top condition.
