Your complete winter haircare guide

A good winter hair care routine is essential to protect your strands from the cold, dry air. With the right steps, you can prevent dull, brittle, and dry hair in winter while keeping it nourished and strong.

Winter air can damage hair easily. As cold weather sweeps in, theair can strip moisture from your locks, making them more prone to beingdry, lookingdull and feelingbrittle. So, what’s the answer?Hydration. Read on to learn ourbest tips for winter hair care, including how to prevent hair static, keep flaky scalp at bay and more.

Winter hair care starts in the shower  

The best winter hair care routine starts with your shower habits. With some small changes, you can help keep your hair at its shiniest and strongest in the chilly months. Here’s some tips from our hair experts on how to improve your showering routine for winter. 
1. Cut down on hair washes: Try to avoid washing every day to let your hair's natural oils add extra hydration for the winter.

2. Make sure your shower isn’t too hot: it’s tempting to stay in there all day, but the less time you spend under heated water, the less likely your hair is to face weaker – or broken – hair roots. Plus, cooler showers are better for the planet, as they reduce energy consumption: you could turn off the shower while shampooing to conserve water and energy. A colder rinse helps close hair follicles, leaving your hair shinier.
3. Try to avoid brushing your hair when it's wet: let your locks dry naturally before brushing, and stay indoors while your hair dries. Cold weather can cause damp hair shafts to expand, leading to faded colour and split ends.
4. Use a weekly hair treatment: Deeply nourishing hair masks are far from a luxury in the winter months: they’re essential to strengthen strands and lock in moisture.

5. Massage your scalp: A scalp massage while you shower helps boost circulation where it matters, keep your scalp healthy, and encourage hair growth.
