The weather is cooling down and the sun is disappearing earlier, which can only mean one thing – winter is almost here! Whether you love the colder weather or spend all season waiting for summer to come around again, there’s no denying that winter can wreak some havoc on our locks. The dropping temperatures can cause our hair to become dry, dehydrated, and often brittle and more susceptible to damage. The best way to combat this is to be prepared! Today, we are sharing our top products to add into your haircare routine this winter.
Hydrating shampoo
The first line of defence for dry hair? A hydrating shampoo. This is a great way to ensure you are adding in essential moisture when cleaning your hair, and helps to prevent the stripping of natural oils. It’s still important not to over shampoo your hair, but opting for one that is more hydrating will go a long way to keeping your locks nourished and thriving this winter.
Repairing and nourishing mask
Winter haircare is all about giving our locks a little TLC, and what better way to do that than with a hair mask? Hair masks give you time to relax and indulge, while also boosting your hair – it’s a win-win situation! Winter is a great time to pick up a hair mask that targets hydration and helps to repair dry hair. Book yourself in for an at-home pamper session once per week and both your hair and mind will thank you for it!
Hair oil
Hair oils are fantastic for using between masks and washes as an extra boost of hydration. The best part? You can target exactly where you need the most help – usually those pesky dry ends! Applying a small amount will give your hair that extra nourishment and moisture it might need due to the cold air and declining temperatures.
Leave-in conditioner
If hair oil is not your thing, a leave-in conditioner is a great alternative. Try picking up one that is lightweight, so as not to weigh down your locks. Leave-in conditioners are a great way to deep condition between washes and even double as a frizz-tamer (we love a multi-use product!).
When it comes to your winter haircare routine, it’s all about being prepared! Adding a few extra products or swapping out other ones will go a long way when it comes to protecting your locks this cold season. As you can see, it’s all about hydration hydration hydration! It’s also a great idea to visit your salon and get those dry ends freshened up.
