Lee Stafford’s Winter Haircare Heroes

The weather is getting colder and winter is officially on its way, so now is the perfect time to update your haircare routine to protect your hair from the unforgiving elements.

Award-winning hairdresser Lee Stafford says,

During winter you're hair is getting it from all angles. Not only does the colder air outside contain less moisture, but central heating inside is also incredibly drying. To prevent hair from becoming dry, dull and ultimately damaged you should start incorporating hydrating oils into your daily haircare routine.

Coconut oil is renowned for its moisture-retaining capacity, thanks to its high levels of lauric acid, which penetrates deep into the hair shaft to really get in there and work its magic. Use my Coco Loco Coconut Mask (£6.99/200ml, from Boots) once a week to give your hair a moisture boost.

ARGANOIL® from Morocco Nourishing Miracle Oil (£11.99/50ml, from Boots) contains a unique blend of ingredients including Argan Oil - a rich, nourishing oil native to Morocco, which is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Lee says,

Just apply a couple of drops in the morning before you leave the house. While it nurtures and helps enrich hair's natural shine, it delivers a smooth, silky finish without any product build-up and also tackles frizz, leaving you with soft, shiny hair in superb condition.
