Winter is here, and that means that many of us find ourselves dealing with the frustrating effects of static and tangled hair. The cold, dry air is not your hair's best friend, and can leave it prone to static electricity and difficult to manage. Fortunately, with the right care and attention, you can keep your hair smooth, shiny, and free from winter-induced static and tangles. In this blog post, we'll cover some effective tips and tools to help you maintain gorgeous, manageable hair throughout the winter months.

1. Hydration is Key: One of the primary reasons for static and tangles in winter is the lack of moisture in the air. You can combat this by ensuring your hair stays hydrated. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to replenish lost moisture. R+Co Bleu's De Luxe Reparative Shampoo and Conditioner provide a power dose of hydration, strength, and repair for coarse, unruly, fragile, or damaged hair. The Shampoo gently cleanses, calms and helps heal distressed, weakened hair. It also improves elasticity and shine, seals frayed cuticles and split ends, improves texture and uniformity without weighing hair down. The rich and repairing transformative daily De Luxe Conditioner detangles and smoothes; restores resiliency. 

2. Avoid Overwashing: While it's important to keep your hair clean, overwashing can strip your hair of its natural oils, making it more prone to static. Try to limit washing to 2-3 times a week if possible.

3. Use a Detangler: Invest in a high quality detangler to prevent breakage and to provide continuous moisture to your hair throughout the day. This will help prevent static electricity by keeping your hair hydrated and more manageable. R+Co's Pinstripe detangles unmanageable/dry hair, and it conditions and hydrates weightlessly.

4. Humidify Your Space: Combat the dry air in your home by using a humidifier. Adding moisture to the air can significantly reduce static electricity in your hair. Place a humidifier in your bedroom or the rooms you spend the most time in to create a more favorable environment for your hair.

5. Choose the Right Brush: Opt for a brush with natural bristles to gently detangle your hair. Avoid plastic brushes, as they can contribute to static buildup. R+Co's Vegan Boar Bristle Brushes are engineered with two distinct types of bristles for optimal ease in detangling, versatile styling, and static reduction. They come in three different sizes depending on your hair's texture and length. When brushing, start detangling by spraying Pinstripe on damp hair and brush from the ends and work your way up to minimize breakage and prevent additional tangling.

By incorporating these simple tips and products into your winter hair care routine, you can bid farewell to static and tangles. Remember to stay consistent with your hair care regimen and make adjustments based on your hair type and specific needs. With a little extra care, you can enjoy beautiful, static-free hair all winter long.
