 Freezing outside, frying inside. Don't let the temperature swings steal your hair.

For those of you who live in Canada or Scandinavia, the worst part of winter isn't the shoveling of snow, it's the **dry and crunchy** living conditions. When the temperature outside drops to -20 degrees and the indoor heating is kept at 22 degrees, your hair is experiencing up to 40 degree temperature shock。

Asians' coarse, hard hair is subjected to this extreme dryness, which sucks the moisture out of the core like a water pump. The result:Static hair, dry ends that break off, and dandruff that falls like a snowflake. in the capacity of HAO Hair Days Today, we're going to present you with this "Canadian Survival Level" deep oil-locking treatment program.

1. Temperature shock: Why does hair get "brittle"?

📖 HAO Hair Days Editorial Diary: Canadian Cold Fighting Hacks

After living in Canada for many years, I have come up with two "life-saving" rules:

  1. Silk-lined Toque: Wool hats are a must in Canadian winters, but the wool rubs against Asian hair like crazy, causing it to break. Please buy the kind with a layer sewn inside.Silk or SatinThe woolen hat that keeps you warm and doesn't hurt your hair.

  2. Reduce the frequency of shampooing: As sebum secretion slows down in winter, washing your hair once every two to three days is sufficient. Preserving the scalp's natural oils is the best defense against extreme cold and dryness.
