Hair Breakage in Fall and Winter
Also, my scalp stays dry during cold weather. I hate to wear black because of the flaking. I need the name of a good conditioner that won't weigh my hair down. I do get my hair highlighted every 8 to 9 weeks.
A: Your question is a common one, actually. You see, seasonal changes in our environment affect our hair a lot more than we realize. If you think about it, it makes sense. The hair is one part of the body that is usually exposed to the environment no matter where we are - indoors or out.
Finally, contrary to what we were taught growing up, you don't have to shampoo your hair every day. You do, however, need to condition it every day, especially in the winter months when the hair is subjected to such temperature extremes and the dry air of heating systems. If you don't have time to use your "rinse through" conditioner in the shower, be sure to use a good conditioning spray that you can incorporate into your routine.
I would recommend the Pantene Beautiful Lengths line of products. I'd get the smaller bottle of shampoo with the larger conditioner. And remember to not skimp on the time you leave the conditioner on the hair. The hair needs this time to fully absorb the conditioning agents, and sometimes we get in a hurry and rush things. A few extra moments a day can make a world of difference. I hope this helps.
