Many women think that summertime is synonymous with damaged hair when actually, winter can be just as bad, if not worse. Cooler weather means dry air from heaters inside and cold dry winter air outside. It’s a double whammy. At Cherry Blow Dry Bar, we deal with hair every day – so our stylists put together five essential tips for protecting your strands in the fall and winter seasons. 

Invest in a good quality shampoo and conditioner. To keep your hair soft, manageable, and healthy, consider using a clarifying shampoo once or twice a month and hydrating shampoo and conditioner the rest of the time. We recommend Pureology Hydrate Shampoo.

Reduce the days you shampoo. Remember, hot water dries out your hair, so you should cut down on how often you shampoo your hair. Two or three times a week would be the most. If you feel your hair is falling flat with the reduced washings, you can use Pureology Clean Volume Shampoo for a light, airy fullness. Remember, don’t skimp on the conditioning; you want to keep your hair moisturized. 

Replenish your hair weekly. If you have majorly dry or damaged strands, use a moisturizing mask at least once a week to replenish the moisture and nutrients to your hair. Hydrate Superfood Treatment is a moisturizing hair mask for dry, damaged, or color-treated hair. The Superfood recipe creates a smooth, shiny, frizz-free look. 

Tame flyaways. Between the dry cold air and indoor heating, you are going to find that you may become inundated with flyaways and frizz. BlowPro Weather Girl contains soy and silk proteins that insulate each cuticle to combat frizz and flyaways. Its weightless formula leaves your hair satin soft, manageable, and more resilient than ever. 

Take advantage of salon treatments. For instant lasting results, take advantage of Cherry’s in-salon treatments. Choose from these treatments to repair, revitalize, nourish, and smooth your tresses.
