Smooth Out Your Winter Locks

Winter can wreak havoc on your hair. Cold, dry air outside and hot, dry air inside can cause your normally healthy, shiny locks to become dull and brittle.

What’s a girl to do?

“Behold the power of extra virgin olive oil,” says hair expert and salon owner Becker Chicaiza of Becker Salon. “Women frequently overlook this home remedy for dry hair.”

How do you move this cooking staple from your kitchen to your bathroom?

Becker suggests applying olive oil to your hair a few evenings a week, keeping most of the oil away from your roots. “It will keep the hair moist and free of frizz,” he adds.

You can heat the oil a bit and even add a touch of lavender oil for an aroma therapeutic benefit. Then wrap your hair in saran wrap to seal in the moisture. You can leave it on all night, or wash it out before bedtime.
