Seasonal Hair Care Tips for Central Alberta

Seasonal Hair Care Tips for Central Alberta

Living in Central Alberta means experiencing a full range of weather conditions, and your hair feels it all. From the biting cold of winter to the sun-drenched days of summer, it's crucial to adapt your hair care routine to the changing seasons. Here are some pro tips from the stylists at our Red Deer hair salon to keep your locks luscious all year long.

Winter: Combatting Dryness

The biggest challenge during Alberta winters is the lack of humidity. The dry air, both outside and indoors, can strip moisture from your hair, leaving it brittle, frizzy, and prone to breakage.

  • Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Switch to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner like KEVIN.MURPHY's HYDRATE-ME.WASH and RINSE. These products are packed with antioxidants and nourishing ingredients to restore moisture.
  • Weekly Treatments: Incorporate a deep conditioning masque into your weekly routine. A professional treatment at our salon can provide an intense moisture boost that lasts.
  • Reduce Heat Styling: Try to air-dry your hair when possible and use a heat protectant when you do use hot tools. Excessive heat will only exacerbate dryness.

Summer: Sun & Chlorine Protection

Summer in Red Deer is beautiful, but sun, chlorine, and even the wind can take a toll on your hair, causing color to fade and ends to dry out.

  • UV Protection is a Must: Just like your skin, your hair needs sun protection. Look for products with UV filters or wear a stylish hat when spending extended time outdoors.
  • Pre-Swim Soak: Before taking a dip in the pool or lake, wet your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner. This prevents your hair from absorbing as much chlorine or salt.
  • Clarify and Condition: Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove chlorine and product buildup, followed by a nourishing conditioner to replenish moisture.

By making these small adjustments to your routine, you can ensure your hair stays healthy, vibrant, and beautiful, no matter what the Alberta weather throws your way. For a personalized hair care regimen, book a consultation with one of our expert stylists at Hello Beauty Lounge in Red Deer!
