In the winter period , it often happens that the hair loses
its natural shine and is dry , brittle and heavy. This happens because of the
cold , which is aggressive for the hair; in fact, with the cold, the pores of
the skin tend to close: this also affects the very sensitive pores of the scalp
; in this condition, the hair bulbs receive less blood flow and, consequently,
less nourishment. Furthermore, the hydrolipidic film , the so-called protective film, present on
the hair, cannot perform its function in the best possible way, due to the
hardening of the lipids, so the hair become more rigid and dry and tend to form
the split ends and broken.
Natural products
The hair care , with cold , must be set in order to mitigate
, and possibly solve problems related to the winter period. The advice is to
use products natural , to nourish and
restructure the damaged hair . NaturPlus is a leading company in Italy in the
organic sector and offers a series of natural products for the well-being and
beauty of the person ; among these, a wide range of biological products ,

are harmful to the scalp: they care and nourish the hair in a natural way ,
protecting it from external aggressions. The citrus shower shampoo is also ideal for hair care in cold weather
, because it is based on natural extracts and can be used for frequent washing
, without weakening or damaging them, and protects them with the softening and
moisturizing properties of which the hair has need. It is suitable for

types, is the Biofficina concentrated shampoo : based on plant extracts and
natural and essential oils , it is also suitable for fragile or treated hair;

using a specific treatment such as, for example, Maxcolor Vegetal shampoo
which, while gently cleansing, revivesand fixes the color and prolongs its
life; it is suitable for all skin types and for frequent washing. The hair care
should be completed with a balm that helps to make them soft, shiny and
untangled. NaturPlus has a line of conditioners made with ingredients of
natural and organic origin such as argan oil , aloe vera juice , shea butter ,

together with extracts of nettle , ivy, horse chestnut, thyme and sage. This
conditioner does not weigh down the hair and gives it volume and shine . It is
important to remember that these products are not only all of natural origin
but are not tested on animals.
A few more tips
In summary, with the cold the hair suffers, also from the
contrast with overheated indoor environments and from the friction with scarves
and hats ; then we moisturize them with shampoo and conditioner based on
natural ingredients and with richer textures, we treat the tips with essential
oils and we "pamper" them with a mask once a week. But beware : in
the shower , in winter, you tend to overdo it with hot water , and this doesn't help, especially in the
case of colored hair; better to use lukewarm water and try to finish washing
with cold water, which helps to keep the cuticles closed, giving the hair more
shine and resistance . It would be better to limit the use of the straightener,
again due to the high temperature of use. Even a correct diet gives the hair a
second aid nature, with foods rich in antioxidants , salts, minerals and
vitamins : the reward of these little attentions result.
