Parenting Pointers: Winter Hair Care

Help your hair stay healthy this winter by following these tips:

- Shower in the coolest water you can. Hot water can wash away hair's natural oils, which makes it more frizzy and prone to breaking.
- Use a gentle shampoo, and massage it only into your scalp and roots. The ends will get enough as it rinses out.
- Use your hair dryer as quickly as possible. Hair is more fragile when wet, and heat from the dryer can damage it. Blot as much water out of your hair first to help it dry faster.
