Hair Emergencies
1. Split ends and breakage
Take a proactive approach to this pesky problem with regular trims. Another hot tip? Any time you use a heated tool for styling, prep your tresses with a protective treatment that works with the warm temps to seal and strengthen your hair cuticle.
Pantene Pro-V Heat Potion Serum, $9, Shoppers Drug Mart.
2. Staticky strands
As the dry, cold weather sets in, add a smoothing product to your routine. Ingredients like silicon and botanical oils help fight frizz and boost shine, without weighing down your style. A little goes a long way and can even be used dry (just stick to the lower half of your hair).

3. Dry, damaged hair
Make a hair mask your new BFF. These nourishing leave-in treatments are like a trip to the salon without ever leaving your couch. Look for strengthening antioxidant ingredients that help regenerate, soften and improve the health of your locks.
