Why You Need a Post-Winter Hair Detoxification
Only healthy, hydrated hair gives off light, giving that coveted appearance of radiance and shine. Winter is harsh and can throw off your skin’s pH balance as it tries to acclimate to differing temperatures and routine climate changes we experience during this magical season. The horrible part is that it causes lots of dry damage to the skin and hair, and yes, this includes your often-overlooked scalp.
With the end of winter approaching, spring is always a great time for a detox. A hair detox program is designed to rid your hair of all the chemicals and junk built up on it, from products we use to pollution. By bouncing the bad stuff, your hair will behave and grow better. A personalized detox program can also bring life back to dull, flat hair, adding more volume and shine. It will help you balance excessive oil, reduce hair loss, and ease an itchy scalp and all the damage winter has placed on your locks.
Gabrielle Gaggero, founder of Hair by Gabie G in Cupertino, California, turns to the Davines, a line of hair care products from Italy. Gaggero says the reason why she carries it in her salon is due to the purity of the product. “Davines is not only good for you, your hair, and your stylist, but Davines products are made with safe, natural, plant-based, sustainable ingredients from the soil, which make them safe for Mother Earth.”
Gaggero explains that Davines has four regimens in their restorative line based on what your hair needs explicitly. Either soothe, stimulate, hydrate, or revitalize. She continues to urge self-care by saying, “Make time for yourself. A good consultation with your salon professional who can identify your exact needs will get you back on the path to healthy hair”.
If you are experiencing itchiness and irritation, tell your stylist, and you will most likely receive the prescribed recommendation of a soothing treatment. If your hair looks dull from winter, sub-par products, harsh towel drying, heat treatments like blow drying and iron work, indoor heat, and sauna systems, you may need to add a hydrating routine. All these things rob hair of hydration, so during the final stretch of winter and into the spring, try to shampoo less often and use gentler products.
Now that you have restored your scalp to balance, creating a clean slate for ongoing care and optimal hair health is essential. Next, you should concentrate on reversing the damage and proactively revitalize your hair with ingredients that prevent all those issues from resurfacing and soothe with Davines calming line filled with the anti-inflammatory ability of blueberries; this calming shampoo provides relief to suffering scalps.
Your stylist might introduce you to a hydrating scalp restorative treatment. The Davines line carries one we love; it strengthens the skin barrier and improves scalp hydration by 23% immediately after use.
Chances are your hair needs an IV of vitamins and nutrients to rehab, and these products are packed with nourishing ingredients. Hair by Gabie G carries Davines MELU Shampoo for those in need; this product is a beautifully crafted, luxuriously foamy anti-breakage shampoo that reinforces and stimulates your hair strands with the amino acids of lentil seed extract.
After all, our hair is protein. Hair by Gabie carries Davines Energy Complex, enriched with Mung and Bean Crimson Clover Extract; this serum controls hyper-production of serum, improving the scalp tone and promoting hair growth and density.
Gabie G says she likes to follow up with a nourishing planted-based hair conditioner in the same line, then to continue the repair, and then finish off the detox with beta-carotene and antioxidants for hair while simultaneously softening, leaving healthy, hydrated hair mirrors light, giving the appearance of a healthy sheen.
