Wear a hat: Protect your hair from dry air, snow, and wind by covering it with a hat lined with silk or satin to prevent breakage. Use a dry oil spray to fight static and moisturize hair under the hat.
Buy a humidifier: Combat dry indoor air caused by heating systems with a humidifier to keep your hair hydrated and looking healthy.
Get regular trims: Maintain hair health and prevent dry, split ends by trimming your hair every four to eight weeks, reducing the risk of breakage.
Lower shower water temperature: Hot water can strip moisture from your hair, so wash with lukewarm water and finish with a cool rinse to keep your locks hydrated and less brittle.
Avoid heat styling: Minimize heat styling during winter to prevent moisture loss and breakage. Air dry whenever possible and explore heat-free styling options like twists, braids, and buns.
Don’t leave the house with wet hair: Wet hair can freeze and break in cold weather, so either air dry thoroughly or use a low setting on your blow dryer before heading outdoors.
Use an oil treatment: Revitalize dry, damaged hair with a lightweight, leave-in oil treatment containing nourishing ingredients like argan oil to restore moisture and protect your strands.
Hydrate as much as possible: Use a high-quality conditioner after shampooing, and consider using a leave-in conditioner to replenish moisture and protect your hair from environmental damage.
Commit to a weekly hair mask: Incorporate a weekly hair mask into your routine to deeply condition and hydrate your hair, reversing the effects of dryness and keeping it soft and shiny.
Avoid frequent hair washes: Overwashing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness. Extend the time between washes to maintain moisture and protect your hair.
