Top 3 Ways To Tend To Your Hair in Dry Climates

Maybe you're looking to move to Utah or Nevada, or perhaps you're already in a drier climate. Either way, it's no secret that a dry atmosphere can cause a great deal of damage to your hair, from split ends and frizz to dullness and an itchy scalp. Sometimes it seems as though your dry and frizzy hair may not recover without obtaining a buzzcut, but there is hope! Check out these three ways to keep your hair silky smooth and beautiful when your environment isn't so kind. 

Condition and Moisturize

Conditioner is vital for keeping your hair healthy and happy. It provides a layer of protection from the harsh atmosphere and helps lock in any current moisture within your hair. In addition to conditioning daily (if not several times per day), invest in a hair mask. Leave these masks in to soak up a bit more moisture and add a little extra TLC. There are loads of formulas to choose from, and they differ from brand to brand; be sure to investigate them all before making your final decision. 

Visit a Professional

It wouldn't hurt to seek professional advice if you're not a beauty guru but want to keep your hair in good condition. Maybe you'll pop into a Denver hair salon or stop by a Vegas beauty supplier to pick up products recommended by people who know what they're doing. Typically, they'll suggest a clarifying treatment or shampoo. These treatments rid your hair of gross layers of harsh chemicals and residual products that have continuously built up and damaged your hair over time. Dusty, crusty leftover substances won't help your hair thrive and will actually make it worse; do yourself a favor and get it taken care of. 

Avoid Adding Heat

Devices like flat irons, crimpers, and blow driers can be an essential part of your morning routine at the moment, but moving to Flagstaff may change your mind. Curling irons and straighteners are handy for sure; however, in warm, dry climates, it's best to avoid adding any extra heat - especially directly - to your hair. By adding heat, you're drying out your already dry hair, causing it to crack and break. It wouldn't hurt to look into hairstyles that work with your natural hair without adding excess heat: keep your hair down, pulled back, half-up/half-down, braided - the list goes on. 

If heat is absolutely necessary or somehow unavoidable, that's okay. There are products for that! Just as there is a myriad of conditioners and clarifying shampoos, there is also a slew of options for heat-resistant or thermal protective serums or sprays. Some of these products do contain alcohol, which should be avoided at all costs, so be wary. 

A dry environment will wreak havoc on your hair; it's a simple fact. Luckily, though, it's not entirely inescapable. You shouldn't have a problem keeping your hair and scalp happy with proper care and upkeep. Keep up on conditioning, moisturizing, and clarifying, and avoid added heat. When in doubt, let the professionals take over; they're trained for this.

Secret Self-Care Hacks You Need To Know

The days of this year have just gone by and before we all realized, Christmas and New Year are only a  month away. With everything going around, it may not seem like a very viable and safe option to go out to celebrate with a lot of people.

We all have been partying our hearts away every year. But this time, it could be a bit different. Still, that is no reason not to rejoice or feel sad about. Even in smaller and more intimate celebrations with your family and friends, your skin needs to look its best. These hacks are sure to help you achieve that pink of health glow in a few and easy ways.

Banish that Pimple

Either it is because of the junk foods that you have been binging on-off lately or the hormonal issues that just refuse to go away, we all have been there. That one pesky zit ruining all the pictures has to go away now.

Use rosewater or take the help of the humble toothpaste to make it go away. Apply either and leave it to dry. In a while, you will see it shrinking, and soon enough, it will go away.

Say Bye to Blackheads

The blackheads appear when the dirt and grime get trapped inside the skin pores. This is a problem that majorly is seen around the nose or the T zone as it is the oiliest part of the face.

But do not worry. With the same toothpaste, this can be tackled too. Rub some on the area and leave it there for some time. Afterward, take an old brush and start brushing in small strokes in a circular formation. Wash with lukewarm water first and then make sure to close the pores with some cold splashes. We can assure you that after using this hack, you would not have to worry about the camera zoom-ins later.

Dazzle away with your natural skin

Now, this is something that scares us all. How many times have we all felt too cautious to bare our makeup free skin in front of the camera thinking of all the age spots and pigmentation? Well, too many times to count. But do not worry. We have got you covered for this one as well.

Take some honey and lemon juice and mix it together to make an even slurry. Apply it like a regular mask and leave it on too dry. The citric acid in the lemon has bleaching properties. It helps a lot with any kind of discoloration and makes the skin look smooth and clear.

The honey has deep nourishing properties. It goes into the deep layers of your skin and moisturizes it well. With regular use, this concoction can help you to get fabulous results.

Get Salon Soft Hair at Home

Sometimes, the best hacks lie within the fridge and this is one of them. If you think that your hair has missed those deep salon conditionings, then this one's for you. If you wanted to have some fun and natural beauty solutions, then these are just the hacks for you. These will surely help you.

Just take some leftover greek yogurt and mash a banana into it. Mix it well till it becomes a super thick slurry.

You can add in oats too for that extra softness. Apply this hair pack and forget about it for an hour. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. This is so enriching that you would not even want to put on a hair conditioner afterward.

Another way to achieve those super silky tresses is to pick up that ignored avocado on the window sill and mash it away in a bowl with some honey. If this becomes a dripping texture, do not worry.

Just put on a shower cap and go about your chores. Wash this concoction off in about 30 minutes and say hello to hair which you would not be able to resist from touching.

Flaunt Off that Natural Glow

We understand that you want to flaunt that natural glow that looks lit within. Getting that amazing skin is not that hard since we are here to help you. Mix in equal parts of coffee and cocoa powder with some milk. Put the face pack on for some time till it dries and then washes it off rubbing it in small circles. We promise you that this hack will get you baby soft and very glowing skin in less than 30 minutes.

Good skin does not necessarily have to be with high-end products. A simple yet effective skin regime with time tested hacks can make all the difference. We hope you find these hacks useful. We wish you the best wishes for the new year.
