Treat Your Hair Like Your Cashmere!
Hair may not be alive like, say, skin cells, but you still have to treat it delicately. Think of hair as a fiber. “You wouldn’t throw your cashmere in steaming hot water, so look after your hair and love it the same way,” Clients often show up at the salon in the winter with dry, itchy scalps because they use hotter water when it’s cold outside. “Lay off the hot water and use lukewarm or even cold,”

Humidity Is Your Friend!
The main cause of dry winter hair is not the temperature but the lack of moisture in the air. Try using humidifiers, avoiding space heaters (“they particularly suck out moisture”) and switching to ionic hair dryers (“because they use less heat to get the same effect”).

Coat Your Hair!
The trick is trapping moisture, which is essentially how hydrating shampoos and conditioners work. Traditional creams don’t adhere well to the hair, using a balm like product will work best, especially for coarse hair. Finer textures may benefit from a light oil .

Messy bob hairstyles are super chic, convenient, trendy and easy to style. All you need is to get a flattering bob haircut and select the right hair product for your hair type. Naturally wavy hair is the direct indication for a messy bob. But even if your locks are straight, there are ways to achieve the popular messy texture.
Curtain bangs are back, and we're definitely on board with doing this look all over again. Originally popular in the '60s (Think Brigitte Bardot with her bee-stung lips and bouffant locks), the look got an update in the '90s, when once again your hair wasn't perfect unless you had some shorter, center-parted strands at the front — think Kate Moss with her cat-like eyes poking out under some sexy fringe. These layers with a center part work on any length and are especially good for creating some interest in medium-length hairstyles. They're long enough to be more versatile than a classic fringe: you can still play around with braids and twists when you need to dress your look up a bit. It's the perfect lazy 'do and the not-quite-ready solution to cutting full blunt bangs. Should you? Shouldn't you? Get curtain bangs, and you don't have to decide.
