5 Hair Care Tips to Keep Your Hair Healthy This Winter

Winter weather can be especially brutal on hair because of the cold factor. The constant shift between warm temperatures (being inside), and cold weather (going outside), can cause the cuticle layer of the hair to lift and moisture to leave the hair, making it dry and frizzy. This can lead to dullness, breakage, split ends and static locks. If you’re wondering what the best hair damage solution is for winter weather, keep reading! Our hair care tips have everything you need to keep hair healthy and happy through every season.

Deep Condition
We all need TLC from time to time, and your hair isn’t any different. Treat your hair once a week to a deep conditioning treatment to replenish and lock in moisture lost from dry air. Not only will this help soften frizzy and brittle hair, but it will also create stronger, shinier hair.

Wash Less
Since cold air already dries out hair, there isn’t a need to wash it every day. Doing so may strip your hair of its natural oils and dry it out even more. Cut back to washing your hair 2-3 times a week, and your hair should be able to retain the extra moisture!

Trim Regularly
Like we mentioned above, wind can cause split ends, along with dry, brittle hair. Getting a trim every 6-8 weeks during the winter months will help keep hair healthy and strong, and reduce the chances of getting split ends.

Cold Showers
Okay, not really, but try to resist the urge to take hot showers when it’s cold outside. Hot water tends to strip moisture from your hair, and your hair needs all the moisture it can get during the winter. Instead, try to take a warm or lukewarm shower for 10 minutes or less to prevent hair from becoming dry.

Go Natural
The winter weather is hard enough on your hair without adding in any styling tools. If you can, try to avoid using blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners as much as possible. If you do need to use them, the best hair damage solution is to apply a leave-in conditioner or heat-protective product first, and then follow with a blow dryer on low heat.
