Top Tips for Beautiful Winter Hair

As the season changes from Autumn to Winter it is important that we change our beauty routines to look after our locks in the colder weather. Follow these simple guidelines to protect your hair during the next few months:

• Cover up - protect your hair from the cold and wind by wearing a scarf, hat or cap but ensure it isn’t too tight so restricting circulation to your scalp.
• Condition, Condition - use a good conditioner to keep hair moisture levels high, especially if you work in a centrally heated place (as most of us do!). We have a fabulous selection no matter what your hair type - browse them here…
• Lock Moisture In - by using cold water to rinse conditioner out of your hair. As crazy as this may seem in colder weather, the lower temperature of the water helps smooth down hair follicles, locking moisture within and helping your hair to brave the elements.
• Dry Hair Only Outdoors - don’t leave the house with wet hair. Give yourself enough time to dry it before heading off to work or play. In very cold weather wet hair will freeze making it prone to breakage and remember prevention is better than cure. We have a fantastic range of professional hair dryers and stylers plus some heat protective products to keep condition in check.
• Don’t Overwash - avoid shampooing too often as this will cause your hair and scalp to dry out and lose moisture.

Get Rid of Head Lice At Last!

We thought we needed to do something for the kids that suffer from head lice. They are a pain for all the mums that have to sit there trying to remove the little blighters from their children’s hair especially as it seems to be a never ending cause!

Well, we think we have found a solution. Introducing Eco-Kid Lice Bomb!

A new product from a great new range of sulphate free, ecologically friendly products, designed specifically for children and keeping head lice at bay, contains none of the chemicals you will find in the lice treatments available on the high street. One of the reasons head lice reappear is because 80% of them are resistant to these chemicals. Eco-Kid is different, using pure essential oils and is proven to be twice as effective as other brands.

Other products in the range, including shampoos, conditioners and styling pastes that are not only kind to your little ones’ hair and skin but also contain ingredients unpalatable to lice so you can be sure to keep the nasties away!
