The Ultimate Guide To Winter Haircare

For frizzy or unruly hair, 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! 

Since hair strands are made of protein – specifically keratin – your hair needs extra protein to repair split ends and strengthen from the root, especially if you suffer from dryness.

Things like protein-rich deep conditioners, leave-in protein sprays or keratin treatments at the salon, will give you that extra protein boost you and your locks need.

Adding protein-based hair treatment products into your routine helps reinforce structure, reduce breakage and restore shine. It’s a small but powerful way to keep hair resilient throughout the season.

Protect Your Hair When You Blow-Dry

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, then investing in a high-quality hair dryer is the way forward - especially if cutting down on frizz is your goal. 

Cheap hair dryers are notorious for creating frizz, drying out your hair and making it look unhealthy. If you’re looking for a new hair dryer, ionic hair dryers are the ones to go for. Great for reducing frizz, they use a lower temperature and dry the hair way faster. Not only do they give you a smoother finish, they also protect your hair from excessive heat and damage. The tools you use are important too. 

Our Ultimate Blow Dry Brush means it cuts down on drying time and the patented teeth technology quickly dries the hair, leaving it naturally voluminous, lifted and smooth. 

(Not so) Hot Tip: When blow-drying, keep the hair dryer as far away from your hair as possible, as this will stop the hair getting too hot and will prevent damage.

Nourish With Winter-Friendly Hair Oils

Hair oils are one of the oldest and most effective remedies for winter dryness, and they remain a seasonal essential. 

Oils such as argan, coconut, and almond help lock in hydration, smooth the cuticle, and protect against environmental aggressors. A few drops massaged into the mid-lengths and ends can transform brittle strands into glossy locks. 

For those with textured or curly hair, heavier oils like castor or shea-based blends provide deeper nourishment. Modern formulations are lightweight, meaning they won’t leave hair greasy or weighed down. 

Applying oil before bed allows it to work overnight, and you’ll wake up with hair that feels softer and stronger. Regular oiling is a simple yet luxurious dry hair treatment that reduces split ends and frizz.

Wrap Up From The Elements

Among other pro tips for winter hair care, wearing a scarf or hat to shield your hair from harsh winds is a must. Coat your hair in a light oil before wearing a 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 is excellent for dry scalp treatments in winter. Designed to scrub away product build-up, dead skin cells and dirt, it detoxes the scalp and promotes healthier roots. Adding scalp care into your hair care routine ensures balance from root to tip.

Try Protective Hairstyles To Reduce Breakage

Winter weather can be harsh on hair, especially when combined with scarves, hats, and collars that cause friction. 

Protective hairstyles such as braids, twists, buns, or updos help shield strands from damage while keeping moisture locked in. These styles are practical and also fashionable, allowing you to experiment with festive looks that last all day. 

Protective styling is particularly beneficial for natural and textured hair, as it reduces tangling and breakage while encouraging growth. Adding accessories like velvet ribbons or jeweled clips can elevate the look for seasonal events. 

By incorporating protective hairstyles into your routine, you’ll find your hair stays healthier and more manageable throughout the colder months.

Focus On Scalp Care To Prevent Dandruff

While we often focus on the ends of our hair, the scalp is the foundation of healthy growth – and winter can be especially tough on it. Cold air and indoor heating often lead to dryness, itchiness, and dandruff. 

Regular scalp treatments, such as exfoliation or hot oil massages, help remove product build-up and nourish the skin beneath your hair. Ingredients like tea tree oil, rosemary, and peppermint are known for their soothing and anti-flake properties. 

Using The Scalp Exfoliator & Massager can improve circulation, reduce irritation, and promote healthier roots. By prioritizing scalp care, you’ll not only prevent dandruff but also create the ideal environment for stronger, shinier hair.

While winter is undoubtedly one of the most challenging seasons for your hair, with these recommendations, your hair can survive even the coolest of temperatures.
