Oh yes, it's back. The dreaded winter hair. Cold weather + central heating + increased humidity = hair havoc.
There are a few new additions to the bathroom cabinet being road-tested in the coming weeks, but I've discovered a winning combination that might take some beating.
Shea Moisture is a natural brand that started way back in 1912 and stills prides itself on natural, organic, sustainably-produced goodness. The10-in-1 Renewal System Masque (£12.99) is the big daddy of intensive treatments. The intensive antioxidant-rich treatment packs a big punch to brittle, dry, lacklustre hair. It hydrates, nourishes, protects colour and , packed full of marula oil and shea butter, leaves hair super soft. Used as an intensive treatment a couple of times a week you'll soon notice a difference. I tie hair in a ponytail, smother with the masque, wrap in a shower cap, leave overnight and wash out in the morning.
The other secret weapon you should have up your sleeve for the fight against frizz is the HairBurst Mulberry Silk Pillowcase. Indulgent as it may sound, you'll wonder how you ever coped without one.
If you're the type that wakes up in the morning with a frizzball for a head, this is for you. The natural properties of silk, including its smooth surface, can help reduce friction on the hair which often causes damage, like spilt ends. Sounds like a miracle worker, but it's true. Since using this I've noticed a difference in the way my hair looks - and feels - on waking up in the morning, to the extent where I've gone from washing and blow drying every day because it's in such a state upon waking, to managing to get two days out of a blow dry. Winner. I've heard it works particular well for curly hair that come become unmanageable - it's definitely worth a try. £34.99 from www.hairburst.com
