New Products? New Routine!

Don't let winter ruin your chance of showing off beautiful locks

Urvi has rebranded, which means we have everything you'll need to rebrand your haircare routine this Winter.

Why do I keep mentioning Winter?

We all know that wet weather, a drop in temperature, and winds can get pretty intense, but how do these affect the health of your hair?

As you've probably heard or read before, the health of your hair comes from within and the quality of the environment on your scalp. You can take all the supplements you want, but if there isn't any love going to the roots and strands of your hair to protect against your environment, you may feel like achieving lustrous, strong hair is a never-ending uphill battle.

When your hair is wet, the hydrogen bonds in the hair strand break, making it weak and prone to breakage. The wet environment also causes dampness and encourages mould, bacteria and fungal growth on the scalp. This causes conditions like dandruff (a yeast-like fungus) and scalp acne to become exacerbated, and general irritation to increase from all the nasties overgrowing.

The drop in temperature and wind outside is not the only thing contributing to moisture loss; the big warm hug from indoor heating will also dehydrate your hair and scalp, causing breakage, hair loss and frizziness.

Now, I hate to say it, but seasonal shedding is something we also can not prevent. The shorter days mean less sunlight, so for some of us, winter's gift of seasonal shedding. So, along with the lack of serotonin boost, we also have the winter blues because of some unexpected hair loss from the only place we want to keep it (I'm sure we'd all appreciate a season of being hairless from the neck down).

Okay, okay! Enough with the Sarcasm and Doom & Gloom! Let us get to the exciting positive part of this post now. So, new products, new regime, another season of Self-Love rituals to reward yourself for the hard work in your day-to-day life.

In the table below, I have collated the information you need to understand how to organise a routine to help you reach/maintain your goals this winter. It captures all the information from the product pages into an easy-to-follow layout with links to the product pages already attached to the names of the products in the table.

With that said, I hope you all feel you have the information and now, also products, to add to your arsenal and protect your hair with the change of weather coming our way.

	Superpowers against the changes in Winter
Scalp & Body Scrub	Exfoliates away product, oil, and skin buildup using Pink Himalayan salt & Salicylic Acid. Also infuses scalp with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties provided by Neem and nutrients from 8 oils & 6 plant extracts
Hair Oil	Acts as an oil cleanser for your scalp to gently exfoliate away dead skin cells, allowing your skin to breathe. The 8 different oils and blend of herbs used to infuse the oil hold antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal properties. The thin oils allow for deep absorption of nutrients and moisture, balancing sebum and providing building blocks for immature hair cells below the surface.
Soothing Gel	A unique cocktail of nature's best infused into a herbal tea to soothe irritation from conditions like eczema, psoriasis, seasonal dryness and dandruff. The gel form provides a fast drying option to quickly apply to your scalp to reduce inflammation and irritation. Once dried, the product leaves the skin smooth and creates a barrier to attract moisture to the skin while also preventing moisture loss. Of course, we also took this to use hair-growth and anti-microbial ingredients like fenugreek, flaxseed, hibiscus and clove.
Cream/Mask	A power-packed mask to apply to lengths of your hair alongside your Hair oil treatment, or it can just be used alone from root to tip! This yummy, silky cream is full of moisture and all the extracts we have here at Urvi! Helping to bring you more shine, hair growth and damage repair; all you have to do is apply it 20 minutes before washing your hair.  Now, for you high porosity hair owners, this can be used in your curly hair routine. The cream texture allows for curl retention and creates a durable barrier between the pores in your hair and the environment. A small amount of product on wet-damp hair, followed by your favourite curl methods and routine, is all that you need to protect your hair.
Mist/Serum	Like a facial mist, this may become a staple in your hair care routine because of its versatility and non-greasy nature. Spray some into your palms and comb through your hair for a daily pick-me-up, spray directly onto your scalp for a quick drying soothing effect or spray onto wet hair to increase shine and moisture absorption between washes. You can also use this as a natural hair perfume that doubles as a hair serum with the 10 plant extracts working behind the scenes to repair and strengthen your hair.
Head Massager	Trying to massage your head after a long day can be a bit awkward and lacklustre, so we've found a comb-like massager that, even with light pressure, can give you that little extra TLC. A simple design that can be added to a hair treatment or used at the end of the day to increase blood circulation to the roots and help drain lymphatic fluid away.
