Refresh and Hydrate Your Hair: A 5-Step Guide for Vibrant Locks This Season

Here’s a simple, five-step method to rejuvenate dry hair:

Step 1: Center Yourself

Begin your hair care routine by grounding yourself with a deep breath. Embrace this moment of self-care as a personal ritual. Remind yourself, “My hair is hydrated and full of life.” Repeat this mantra as needed to reinforce your intention.

Step 2: Enhanced Cleansing

In winter, it’s crucial to upgrade your shampoo to a more hydrating option. If you’re a regular user of Pure Harmony Hairbath, switch to Color Awakening Hairbath for extra moisture. For Color Awakening Hairbath users, step up to Hydrating Cream Hairbath. And if Hydrating Cream Hairbath is already part of your regimen, complement it with more frequent use of the nourishing mask in Step 4.

How to: Gently massage the chosen hairbath into damp hair, focusing on the scalp to lift away oil and buildup. Rinse thoroughly for a clean, refreshed feel.

Step 3: Intensive Conditioning

Select a conditioner enriched with natural oils like our Color Radiance Daily Conditioner or Hydrating Cream Conditioner. Ingredients like coconut oil are essential for sealing in moisture.

How to: Apply the conditioner on thoroughly wet hair, working it through from mid-lengths to the ends, section by section. After a complete rinse, gently pat your hair dry using a bamboo towel, t-shirt, or silk hair wrap. Enhance moisture retention with Sweet Spirit Leave In Conditioner.

Step 4: Deep Treatment Mask

Initiate this step with 1-2 pumps of Harmonic Treatment Oil, a potent hair and scalp oil treatment. Massage it gently into your scalp. Then, apply a small amount of our Hydrating Hair Mask, an ultimate treatment for dry hair, from mid-lengths to ends. Leave it on for 15 minutes (feel free to use a shower cap for this). Rinse thoroughly, massaging the scalp to ensure complete removal.

Step 5: Styling for Hydration

Winter styling should focus on locking in moisture. Start with a rich cream, such as Serenity Smoothing Cream or Quiet Calm Curl Control, as your base. Follow up with a hold product like I Create Lift, I Create Volume, or I Create Hold. This combination effectively seals in moisture, combating winter frizz across all hair types, from straight to curly.

• Opt for silk-lined headwear or satin pillowcases to retain hair moisture.
