Pollution damages more than just the environment. Every day we are exposed to endless internal, skin and hair damaging pollutants that are not always visible in the air. At Belle amour, we know the value of your hair, which is why we’ve devised a list of the ways that you can protect your hair from pollution.
Hide Your Hair
We know you love letting your clean hair or new hairstyle dance outside for everyone to see, but doing so leaves your hair and scalp exposed to pollution, which can cause scalp irritation and damage your hair.
Belle Amour has an easy and by far the most viable solution, which you can take advantage of during the colder weather! By concealing your scalp and the majority of your hair under a cosy, woolly hat, you can protect your scalp from the drying effects of the cold weather and prevent air pollutants from coming into contact with your beloved hair. A large scarf also has a multi purpose use! There are even various craft hacks to transform your scarf into a protective hood.
We know hiding your hair can seem disheartening but trust us when we say cold weather exposure, combined with pollution, will take a toll on the health of your hair and scalp.
Regular Washing Is A Must!
At Belle Amour, we recommend washing your weekly during the colder season. Doing so allows your natural oils to nourish your hair and scalp, which protects your hair from becoming dry and brittle and your scalp free of dandruff.
However, our advice doesn’t suit everyone. Some people can have more oily scalps, which require washing twice a week, or some really lack natural oils and need products to nourish their hair and scalp. If you lack natural oils and are prone to a dry, itchy scalp, then washing your hair twice a week will have amazing benefits.
As well as nourishing your hair and scalp, regular washing will also rinse away any pollutants that have become trapped. Pollution could be the cause of your dry and itchy scalp, as certain gases and dust can really irritate your sensitive skin. A regular washing routine will protect your hair from pollution and promote healthy, shiny hair.
Take a Break & Be Natural
Even with heat protecting products, overusing heat styling tools can have lasting effects on your hair. If you’re a daily hair straightener or curler user, the team at Belle Amour recommends putting your wands down, as overexposure to heat leaves your hair vulnerable to pollution. To prevent your hair from becoming dry, brittle and damaged, take a break and embrace the natural look.
Wear Your Moisture Amour
Just like our winter hair hacks, moisturising your hair with rinse off or leave in oils or a conditioning mask will promote healthy hair and scalp. Implementing this during winter is especially important, as the cold air completely destroys your hair and scalp’s natural moisture. Implementing this into your haircare regime will rehydrate each strand and your scalp, which prevents damage. As well as this, it can also provide your hair and scalp with a moisture shield – protecting your hair from pollution.
If you want a professional and lasting treatment, we offer a range of treatments at Belle Amour that protects your hair from pollution. Our two most popular services that guarantee lasting results include deep conditioning and our Olaplex treatment. Both treatments successfully work to repair and rebuild dry and damaged hair. They will also protect your hair from pollution as the moisturising layer coats the hair and scalp in a protective layer.
