"  Winter can prove a right old &amp;#039;mare for hair. Cold weather, central heating and Christmas stress can contribute to damage and dullness not to mention frizz. Great. While artificial heating zaps strands of moisture, wet weather replaces it, causing it to frizz. Hats can be useful for shielding the elements but can create static. Heat styling causes damage but venturing into the cold with wet hair results in breakage. Hmph. So in light of what lies ahead, we&amp;#039;ve compiled some clever care tips to start adopting NOW. Over to the hair and health experts\u2026 Richard Ward, award-winning hairdresser and coiffeur of Kate Middleton: &amp;quot;Unfortunately, no matter how long your spend styling your hair, humidity will cause it to frizz and flatten if you haven&amp;#039;t used the correct products.

Dr Raghu Reddy, one of the UKs leading hair loss specialist, of the Private Clinic of Harley Street: &amp;quot;Avoid putting products like conditioner, wax or gel directly onto the roots of your hair. This will clog the pores and hair follicles, making it difficult for hair to grow as it normally would. &amp;quot;Hair is made up of Keratin, a protein, so embarking on a protein high diet can keep hair shiny and strong. Incorporate meat, fish and eggs into your diet where possible. &amp;quot;In the winter there is nothing better than a hot bath or shower, but this could actually be detrimental to your hair. It is always best to wash your hair with warm or cool water, rather than very hot water, as this will prevent trauma to the hair. &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t let the stress of Christmas get the better of you. Sustained periods of stress can lead to a change in hormonal balances, which can pave the way for hair thinning or patterned baldness. Stress also leads to the build-up of acid free radicals and this can contribute to gradual loss of hair. Try to incorporate time away from stressful situations or environments into your regime.&amp;quot; More beauty tips PRE-WINTER SKINCARE TIPS HOW TO PROPERLY APPLY LIPSTICK HOW TO KEEP YOUR RED HAIR COLOUR "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
