Quick Tip
*Hair Takes Too Long To DryBlot hair with a towel to absorb as much water as possible. Don't rub the hair. This could cause tangling and breakage. Switch to a vented brush with widely spaced bristles and that should also help but don't use until your hair is about 3/4 dry. Fingers can be used to detangle before using the brush. Blow-drying obviously will speed up the process, but allow the hair to dry naturally as often as you can.
*Stong Wintery Winds
There is not much you can do to avoid the winter winds, but you can protect your hair from it by keeping it covered (scarves and hats) as well at treating it to a moisturizing conditioner. If you are really serious about protecting your hair, treat it to a moisturizing mask once a month. Many come with instructions to apply and then wrap your hair in a damp towel to allow the conditioner to penetrate the hair shafts. A little pampering goes a long way.
*Help From A Mousse
To add volume, quite often styling products can help in a big way. Mousse is probably the best product you can use for this purpose and they come in all price ranges.
