Avlon’s winter essentials

Keracare Restorative masque

Protect your client’s hair with Avlon’s winter essentials. Afro hair needs extra protection when the temperature drops to keep it healthy and looking fab. Avlon has put together a few ideas to ensure your client’s style remains perfect through the season! 

Add moisture 

The cold, damp British weather dries hair, especially curly (type 4) hair. To avoid moisture loss in clients’ hair, adapt your regime before the chill sets in. Increase the frequency of deep conditioning treatments, such as KeraCare Intensive Restorative Masque. It’s also worth stepping up moisturising habits – clients can apply KeraCare Overnight Treatment before bed to help moisturise and protect hair throughout the season.

Step In scalp care 

The drying effects of central heating can lead to itchy and flaky scalps. Use KeraCare Dry & Itchy Scalp range on clients with natural and chemically treated hair. The soothing product cleanses and conditions the scalp while eliminating flakiness. Packed with moisturising ingredients specifically for Afro and textured hair, this product hydrates and protects.   

Reduce heat 

Excessive heat styling creates moisture loss which, combined with the dehydrating effects of the weather and central heating, can damage hair. Prepare the client’s hair with the Thermal Wonder range, which has protection products to prevent damage during heat styling. Alter your blow-dry technique to lessen the use of straightening irons. If a heated appliance is still needed, use the 6-in-1 Thermal Protector. This product protects and enables easier straightening thanks to a blend of natural moisturisers and botanical extracts.

Switch your style 

As well as adjusting your routine, occasionally change your client’s style. Updos protect hair in the colder months and help lock in moisture. Consider ditching the heat-styling for a short period and try twists, bantu knots, a chignon or a bun. KeraCare Edge Tamer is ideal for updos and helps achieve a flat hairline without tension.

Cover up 

The most straightforward winter hack is to wear a hat to protect hair from harsh elements. Advise clients first to wrap their hair in a silk scarf – the benefits are twofold. Wrapping hair prevents damage and static caused by hair rubbing against the hat. It also keeps styles in place, making it easier to revive them. Apply a hydrating product, such as KeraCare Silken Seal Liquid Serum, to help retain moisture and ensure the client can easily rework their style once they remove the hat.
