With the colder weather upon us, it’s time to update our hair wardrobe and why not start now seeing it’s the season for wearing our hair down, keeping us a tad more warm, as well as beautifully sleek styles. The Summery topknot and salty beach waves are not totally dead this season, but winter can be the perfect time to put your feet up by the heater, add a hair treatment, leaving your hair looking sleek with extra volume every time.
My hair trend for winter is a little more polished than summer. And adding moisture is key for beautifully styled hair!
