As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, seasonal hair challenger arise from dryness, static, frizz, brittleness to loss of natural oils, winter dandruff, itchy and dry scalp. These are resulted by things like cold air, long hot water showers, heat styling, indoor heating, and humidity. As your hair can be more delicate in winter the effects of these can be more prominent.
Switch To Heat-Protecting Products
For hair that is dry and prone to breakage, the best way to start your winter hair wellness is by switching to a heat protectant styling creams and products. While we encourage staying away from heat, we understand that sometimes you want that bouncy blow-dry, you want to tame frizz or it’s simply too cold to be walking around with wet hair during winter. If you do want to blow-dry your hair, add some curling rods in or run your hair straightener through then investing in a high-quality hair dryer, heat protection sprays and tools is the way forward - especially if cutting down on frizz is your goal.
Our Ultimate Blow Dry is a perfect hair brush for winter. It is vented, meaning it cuts down on drying time and the patented teeth technology quickly dries the hair, leaving it naturally voluminous, lifted and smooth.
Daily Hydration And Moisturise
If it’s not a part of your winter hair care routine already, it’s time to introduce a leave-in conditioner, hair oiling and hair mists to lock in the moisture. Keeping all that good moisture on your hair instead of washing it off, a leave-in will make sure your hair is getting all the hydration it needs in these chillier months. Our Everyday Detangling Spray with Shea Butter is ideal not only for easy detangling but also retaining nourishment (with shea butter) during winter.
For hair that is frizzy or unruly, a more heavy-duty leave-in conditioner is the one for you. Heavier and made from more natural ingredients, these types of leave-in conditioners will add extra moisture, seal cuticles - keeping all the good stuff in - and smooth the hair shafts. Our Fine Mist Spray Bottle is perfect for styling, detangling or conditioning curls, coils and textured hair with a little bit of extra moisture.

Supplement With Protein
We don’t mean in a gym-bro type of way, don’t worry! But since our hair strands are made of protein, specifically keratin, your hair needs more protein to help repair split ends and strengthen the hair from the root, especially if you suffer from dryness. Things like protein-rich deep conditioners, leave-in protein sprays like our Everyday Detangling Spray Wheat Protein or keratin treatments at the salon, will give you that extra protein boost you and your locks need.
Protect From Other Elements
Among other pro tips for winter hair care, wearing a scarf or hat to shield your hair from the harsh elements of winter is a must. Coat your hair in a light oil before wearing your hat, giving it a bonus treatment on-the-move. Getting regular trims in winter is one of the most important tricks to preventing dry, brittle hair and avoid split ends - especially if you have thick hair or hair that grows super quickly (lucky you). The Scalp Exfoliator and Massager can help for dry scalp treatments in winter. Designed to scrub away product build-up, dead skin cells, dirt and detox the scalp.
