How to restore hair after winter and stress: 3 simple life hacks

Against the backdrop of stress caused by external factors or the change of season, the condition of the hair changes. Anastasia Kukushina, stylist, founder of the LAC salon and creative partner of L’Oreal Professionnel Paris, tells how to bring them to their senses using a simple algorithm.

Step 1: control the drop

Spring and autumn are the time of seasonal hair loss, so it is ideal to carry out prevention in the winter. It is important to include peelings for the scalp in your care and take a course of ampoules with active ingredients that strengthen the hair follicle, improve blood circulation and promote hair growth. All this can be done now if you notice more hair on the comb and want to keep it healthy.

Step 2: restore the canvas

In addition to working closely with the scalp, pay attention to the quality of the length of the hair – in the salon or with the help of home care. Salon procedures are more effective, more intense and give a brighter result on damaged hair – but if for some reason they are not available, you can do a course of restorative masks. For maximum effect, apply the product to towel-wrung hair, not damp, wrap it with cling film and towel, then heat it up a little with a hair dryer to create a bath effect. After 15 minutes, you can wash off, it makes no sense to walk with a mask for longer. Life hack: add hair oil to the mask to get even more hydration and nutrition.

Step 3: Update the Form

No cosmetic products do better than scissors for damaged hair. You can limit yourself to cutting the ends or change the shape. Now the trend is more layered textured haircuts a la shaggy and cascade. Softer haircuts that frame the face or airy bangs are relevant – if they are difficult to wear and style under a hat, then in spring and summer it’s time for them! Look for salon services that renew color and restore hair quality at the same time, giving rich shine. For example, French Glossing by L’Oreal Professionnel Paris based on acid tinting dyes.
