How to Fight Dry Winter Hair

I try to heat style my hair as little as possible in my day-to-day life. I hate the sound of hair dryers, so I always try to let my hair air dry. But I also can't leave the house with damp hair when temperatures are freezing outside! Due to this dilemma I find myself blow drying my hair and heat styling it more than ever throughout the winter, and in years past it has led to my hair looking dry and exhausted. 

This year Maple Holistics sent me their all-natural argan oil shampoo, and while I'm clearly still looking for a trick to help me with static control (haha!), this shampoo has nourished and hydrated my hair unlike any other this season!

The benefits of argan oil, one of the main ingredients in this shampoo, include soothing dry scalp, treating dry hair and restoring hair's natural shine. The almond oil and camellia seed oil are both awesome, moisturizing ingredients in the shampoo as well. Compared to my normal shampoo I saw Maple Holistic's effect my hair in all of these ways, and it also gave my hair a heavier weight that made it feel more healthy and substantial.

I've also read that argan oil is a natural heat protectant. While I definitely recommend using a product that is made for heat protection before blow drying or heat styling your hair, I know I definitely forget sometimes, and this shampoo gives me the peace of mind knowing I have at least done a little something to protect my hair.

When using this shampoo I typically massage it into my scalp and let it sit for approximately three minutes. This allows it to really soothe, moisturize and hydrate my hair and scalp. I then rinse it out and follow up by applying my normal conditioner to the ends of my hair. Also, I personally alternate this shampoo with my normal one every other wash to keep my hair fresh and ensure there's never any product buildup. I've haven't experienced any buildup with either shampoo yet, but I like to play it extra safe after years of struggle when I was younger!

Maple Holistic's argan oil shampoo is only $10, and the little bottle seriously lasts forever! You can purchase it HERE or even sign up to get a free sample HERE. 

I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend! After class today, I'll probably coop myself up inside away from the cold until Monday haha!

Thank you Maple Holistics for sponsoring this post!
