Hydrate Your Hair: Winter Edition
Brooklynne Gibbons • January 3, 2025
A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that 70-80% of people with eczema experience worsened symptoms during the winter.
Wintertime in Utah can wreak havoc on your hair and scalp, leaving them feeling dry, brittle, and lifeless.

The Root Revive service at our South Jordan location offers a luxurious scalp analysis that includes a Hair Loss Assessment and a Scalp Health Analysis. These scans, conducted using advanced AI technology, identify areas of concern such as hair loss, dandruff, and oiliness.

A voluminous blowout is a timeless hairstyle that can elevate your look. With the right techniques and products, you can achieve salon-quality results at home. Start by double shampooing your hair and applying a heat protectant, hair oil, mousse, smoothing cream, and texturizing spray. Next, rough-dry your hair to 85% dry. Then, use a round brush to style your hair in sections, paying attention to the direction of the curl. Finally, set your style with hairspray and gently shake out your curls for a voluminous, effortless finish.
