The key to hot hair when it gets cold? These winter beauty must-haves
Come autumn, you can often find our poor barnets fighting a losing battle against our old nemeses - central heating and the formidable Big Freeze. With our hair’s prior shine, gloss and thickness threatening to go into hibernation, what can we do to give our locks the tools they need to survive the sudden climate change?
Just like our skincare, the products we use on our hair should also change with the seasons to suit its different needs. Whether you have long hair, short hair , curly hair or straight hair, simply boost your hair care regime with the following clever little additions to make sure it looks its best no matter what the next few months throws at it.
