As the temperatures drop and the air gets drier, your hair may need extra attention to stay healthy and beautiful. Winter weather can lead to brittle strands, dry scalps, and lackluster locks. At Hair Bar, we’re here to help you keep your hair looking its best, no matter the weather. Read our favorite Winter Hair Care Tips to keep your hair thriving all season long!
Why Does Winter Damage Hair?
Cold air outside and heated air inside can strip moisture from your hair and scalp, leaving them dehydrated. Without proper care, you might notice more split ends, frizz, flaky scalp and scalp irritation and itchiness. Protecting your hair during the winter is all about moisture and nourishment.
Our Top Winter Hair Care Tips
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
This is important all year long, but we find it especially important to focus on hydration during the winter. Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner specifically designed to lock in moisture. Looking for something to hydrate without weighing your hair down? We recommend Keune's Vital Nutrition Line or Satin Oil Line.
2. Add a Deep Conditioning Treatment
Winter is the perfect time to incorporate weekly deep conditioning treatments into your routine. These treatments replenish moisture and strengthen your hair against breakage. They also add back in the softness and shine you want for healthy looking and feeling hair.
3. Protect Your Scalp
Your scalp often gets neglected, but it’s the foundation for healthy hair. Use a gentle exfoliating scalp treatment to remove buildup and keep your scalp moisturized to prevent itchiness, flakes and dryness. Add one on to your next service at the salon (or read more about our January Special below).
4. Limit Hot Showers & Heat Styling
Hot water and hot tools can exacerbate winter dryness. Try to avoid drying out your hair and scalp by washing your hair less. If you are using hot tools to style, including a blowdryer, always use a heat protectant before to minimize damage. Our favorite is Keune's 2-Phase Spray!
5. Shield Your Hair from the Elements
Wear a hat or scarf when heading outside to protect your hair from the cold, dry air. Choose materials like silk or satin to prevent friction and breakage. We love this satin-lined beanie from Amazon!
6. Trim Regularly
Keep your ends healthy with regular trims to prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.
Winter weather doesn’t have to mean dull, dry, or damaged hair. With the right care and the right products, your hair can stay healthy, hydrated, and gorgeous all season long. By following these winter hair care tips—hydrating your strands, protecting your scalp, limiting heat styling, and more—you can ensure your hair thrives through even the coldest months.
