IF YOU WANT TO AVOID YOUR TRESSES FALLING TO PIECES IN THE COLD-DRY OF WINTER, YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON THE THREE PILLARS OF RICH HAIR: KEEP IT MOISTURISED, VOLUMISED, AND SHINY …
BY TEMO MPODI
MOISTURISED
When it comes to moisturising, you should aim to use products that deal with the roots just as much as they do with the tips. The scalp matters, and if the scalp is healthy, your hair grows well. Search for and apply products that deal with the roots, like the nourishing Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food Aloe Vera 3-in-1 Hair Treatment Mask. Trichologist Dr Jeet Gore told Vogue the trick is to achieve the right balance between hydration and oiliness of the scalp. Don’ t be shy to try natural products or foods that can work for your hair moisture, like honey.
VOLUMISED
According to hair health activist Reneé Potgieter, unlike the rest of the body, our hair has the ability to scream for help almost immediately. Perhaps your follicles start breaking or begin to thin – or your hair just starts looking and feeling dry. Eating your way to some hair volume isn’ t a bad idea. Almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds promote hair volume, strength, and overall health due to their dense nutrient profiles, acting as a natural counterpart to honey’ s moistureboosting benefits. You can’ t go wrong with protein and healthy fats. And while you’ re dialling in the diet, don’ t forget to apply volumising hair products like Mizani Miracle Combo with Coconut Souffle Mask.
SHINY
It’ s all in the products you use. Some don’ t do much for the shine, causing the hair to look dull. You must carefully choose what works best for you. Many people are also opting to give their hair a full colour with dyes and other products.“ In South Africa, spending on hair colourants is projected to grow from roughly $ 172 million in 2021 to over $ 228 million by 2028, highlighting the demand for solutions that go beyond temporary cover-ups,” says hair restoration expert Dr Kashmal Kalan.
