You try, try, do styling, spend precious morning time on it, and then put on a hat and mentally say goodbye to the beauty that you just created on your head.

Unfortunately, for many of us, cold weather and a spectacular hairstyle are incompatible things. That is why some women choose not to wear a hat at all, which, of course, is not a solution to the problem, since the consequences can be frightening.

It would seem that everything is obvious: it is better to have a hairstyle a la "cow tongue" than diseases that are extremely difficult to cure. But no matter how much the doctors frighten us with dire consequences, we still will not stop looking for a way to preserve the volumetric styling under the hat. A woman's desire to be beautiful does not depend on the season - it is constant and capable of working miracles.

By miracles, we mean all the tricks that the fairer sex goes to, just not to see a "helmet" of slicked glued hair on their heads. Some women, for example, change a rather tight hat for a scarf, which "sits" more freely on the head. However, this solution is not suitable for everyone. Someone is not ready to give up a winter hat, but they also don’t want to sacrifice the beauty of their hair. It is for such girls who love warmth and voluminous styling that we have created a selection of tips, among which everyone will find something for themselves.

Volumizing shampoo

Of course, this tool alone will not make your hairstyle elastic and similar to those that stylists create in their studios, but it is with the shampoo that adds volume to the hair that their beauty and "durability" begins. Pay attention to funds with the prefix "volume", which translates from English as "volume". As a rule, these shampoos and balms contain silicones that envelop the hair along its entire length and make it more luxuriant. This is undoubtedly what you need. However, this component has its drawbacks: firstly, it does not last long on naturally thin hair, and secondly, dust quickly sticks to the silicone film, and you have to wash your head twice as often.

Moisturizing hair

One of the main difficulties women face in winter is the electrification of their hair after taking off their headgear. Dry indoor air, heaters and air conditioners do their bit and make the hair look like dry brittle straw. In this case, one does not even have to dream about the beauty and volume of the hairstyle. But this problem can be solved.

Pay close attention to hydrating your hair - use conditioners and masks marked "hydrating".

Pause

Don't wash your hair right before leaving your home. Perhaps there is no more important rule. Of course, sometimes you are in a hurry, are very late and run out of the bathroom half an hour before you find yourself on a cold winter street. And this is a real verdict for your hairstyle. Even if you dry your hair with a hairdryer, and it seems to you that it is completely dry, in fact it is not. The moisture that still remains on the scalp, plus the hat, which in this case plays the role of a press, squeezing the wet strands, as well as styling products, make out of your hair something that can hardly even be called a mess. Therefore, wash your hair at least 2 hours before leaving the house, let your hair dry completely and lie down.

Styling products

You can help your hair stay voluminous as long as possible by using all kinds of foams, mousses and sprays. Many of them give the much-desired root volume that stays on the hair all day. It is better if these funds will also remove static electricity, so that you once again avoid the "connection with space" after removing the cap indoors. The main thing is to remember the previous rule and do not wear a hat on still wet hair, which has already been covered with mousse or foam. You don't want to watch the surprised looks of your colleagues who saw your wonderful and firmly fixed mess on your head?

Use tongs and curling irons

It is possible to solve the problem “there is a cap, there is no volume” using forceps to create a root volume. Such curling irons can make your hair look like a lion's mane, and the volume will hold until the next shampooing. A rare woman is not happy with the volume that appears on her hair after using such a curling iron. Basically, everyone says that these tongs are a great solution to the problem of slicked hair. However, when using this "miracle thing", do not forget about sprays and mousses that protect the hair from thermal effects. By the way, the latter often combine the properties of both thermal protection and styling products, which is exactly what your hairstyle needs in this harsh winter time.
