Spring Hair Therapy
Winter’s brutal weather and indoor heating can wreak havoc on your mane. Check out our three-step plan to getting your locks healthy and revitalized for spring!

Step 1: Get a trim.
You don’t need to chop it all off, but getting your ends trimmed will help eliminate split ends, refresh your hairstyle, and give your hair that extra bounce.

Step 2: Deep condition.
Making sure your hair is thoroughly conditioned will help revitalize it and seal in moisture, leaving your locks shinier and more manageable.



1. For some serious deep-conditioning, try Monoï Nourishing Hair Mask by Fruits & Passion; apply to dry hair (avoid the roots) and leave it in for a whole day or night before rinsing to revive your damaged locks. Continue using once a week, leaving it in for only 10 to 20 minutes. $ 22 at Fruits & Passion.

2. Your hair needs its beauty rest, too; just like night cream for your face has special ingredients to help your skin regenerate, the new Noctogenist Voile Nuit and Sérum Nuit by Kérastase are designed to re-energize and revive your locks while you get some well-deserved shut eye. $50 each at Kérastase beauty salons (1-866-KERASTASE).

3. Make sure your mane stays hydrated throughout the day by spritzing a leave-in, shine-enhancing product like Aussie Sun-Touched Shine Conditioning Shine Spray on your damp locks before styling. $4.99 in pharmacies.

Step 3: Be gentle.
Let your hair air dry as often as you can: using a blow-dryer, a curling or a straightening iron can really damage your locks. Learn how to style your naturally wavy, curly or stick straight hair and make a point of not using styling tools at least one week out of three.
After washing your hair, wrap it in a microfiber hair towel to wick away the water faster than a regular towel and eliminate the need to rub your head—this can cause serious damage to your locks.
