Thinning hair? Tips to save your strands this winter
Gasp when you see strands of hair in your brush first thing? Don’t worry, the average woman loses up to 150 hairs every day. While this might offer some reassurance, we know it’s not what you want to see, so read on for ways you can combat the top causes of hair loss this winter.
Battling breakage?
Cold temperatures and dry conditions can cause your hair to become brittle and break off. Booking in for a trim every six weeks and using a good conditioner such as Redken Extreme will help strengthen your strands. During and after pregnancy you can experience hair loss as oestrogen levels rise and dip down quickly. This is completely normal and will stop as hormone levels balance again.
Receding or thinning?
Receding hairlines for males and thinning hair for females is called “pattern hair loss” and is the most common type of hair loss. Pattern hair loss increases with age, affecting about 50% of males and 25% of females by the age of 50. While it is permanent, hair thickening products will help slow down the process.
A volumising shampoo and conditioner can add body to the hair and mask your thinning strands. Try the Redken Highrise Volume Lifting range for some extra lift, click here to shop the shampoo and conditioner online.
