It's freezing outside, hats are a must and the dry air from the heating only makes everything worse. Your hair now needs extra care to cope with this difficult period. Don't worry, it's nothing complicated. Just adjust a few things in your routine, and your hair will be healthy and beautiful in winter.
Hydration is essential in winter
Dry air dehydrates hair, so reach for shampoos, conditioners and masks with nourishing ingredients. The weekly mask will give your hair an extra dose of hydration and help it cope with winter fluctuations.
Beware of hot water
Hot water is another enemy that damages hair in winter. Although a warm shower sounds like heaven, hot water weakens the hair cuticle and dries out the strands. At least try to do the last rinse with lukewarm or cold water to maintain hydration in your hair.
Static electricity is a nightmare in winter
Hats, sweaters and scarves cause hair to fly in all directions. Antistatic sprays or serums help against electrification. A wooden or bamboo brush is better than a plastic one because it doesn't make static electricity worse. If electrification surprises you outside, lightly moisten your hands and run them through your hair - problem solved.
The ends of the hair are the most vulnerable in winter
If you haven't cut them for a long time, it's time for a little refresh. Even a few centimeters can make a difference. Healthy ends mean less breakage and better overall hair appearance. For extra protection, regularly apply a nourishing serum or oil to the ends.
Dry air from heating is not only good for the skin, but also for the hair. Invest in a humidifier, or at least place a bowl of water near the radiator. Your hair and scalp will suffer less from dryness.
Winter doesn't have to be a nightmare for your hair. Just a few simple changes in your routine and your hair will look beautiful even in the coldest weather. So what, beast, are you going? 😉
