9 Ways Winter is Ruining Your Skin
Adding moisture will help your hair look less shocking, says Anthony Cristiano, founder of the Anthony Cristiano Salon in Chicago. "Your hair is like your skin, and you have to constantly add moisture during winter," he explains.
A simple fix is to keep a small Evian atomizer on hand. Once you take off your hat, lightly mist your hair and restyle. If you have very dry or coarse hair, Cristiano suggests spraying Phyto Phytomist, a light conditioner, to add a layer of moisturizers that can help fend off a static charge. And, the dryer-sheet trick really works. Rub one inside your hat, over your brush, and on your hair to tame unruly pieces.
