As the chill of winter settles in and the heating cranks up to full blast, our hair faces a perfect storm of challenges. Gone are the carefree days of summer’s tousled tresses; winter brings its own set of beauty battles. Cold air outside, combined with the drying effect of central heating indoors, can wreak havoc on even the healthiest of hair, leaving it parched, brittle, and lacking its usual lustre.
The harsh outdoor weather strips moisture from your hair, while the dry indoor environment compounds the issue, creating the ideal environment for frizz, static, and split ends to thrive. Coupled this with the seasonal style perils of ‘hat hair’ and tangle-inducing scarves, the whole picture can lead to breakage and flat, lifeless locks.
But fear not. Just as we adapt our skincare routines for the colder months, so our haircare requires a seasonal switch-up too. From nourishing masks and oils to scalp-saving treatments, there are plenty of ways to keep your mane in tip-top condition throughout the winter. Here are just a few of our favourites to ensure your hair stays hydrated, shiny, and protected—keeping bad hair days at bay, all winter long.
