We’re deep in the throes of winter by now (pause while I turn up the thermostat—brrr!), which means that our hair has probably seen better days. Whether it’s a flaky, irritated scalp thanks to drying indoor heating or frizz, static and dullness from the cold, now is a good time to consider adding a regular treatment to your regular shampoo-and-condition routine to keep your scalp and/or hair happy until spring finally shows its pretty face.
No matter what your hair-related woes are, there’s a nourishing, revitalizing treatment for you—read ahead to find the pampering treat that’s perfect for you.
Flaky Scalp:
Apple Cider Vinegar Scalp Scrub by DPHUE
Exfoliating scalp treatments are all the rage these days, and for good reason—a sad, dull scalp makes for sad, dull hair. Revitalize both your scalp and your hair with this scrub made with balancing apple cider vinegar and sloughing Himalayan pink sea salt, along with avocado oil and aloe vera to soothe and moisturize.
Curly:

Dull:

Colored:

Breakage:
