Repair for damaged winter hair

Shampoos
You'll get better results if you use a product that is specially formulated for damaged hair. Get the water temperature just right: too hot will cause even more damage. Use a blob the size of a R2 coin for short hair and one the size of a R5 coin for long hair. Make sure you rinse really well (product left to dry on hair that is not meant to be left to dry on hair, will dry hair out even more).

Conditioners
You need a thick, heavy conditioner and a deep treatment that you leave on for about a half-hour, once or twice a week. But make sure not to condition the area closest to the scalp.

Treatments and hair masks
You'll need the added benefit of hair masks or special treatment products, probably for as long as you don't cut your hair.
