As winter draws near, it brings excitement but also its share of challenges. The holiday season is magical, yet colder temperatures can turn your healthy hair into a dried-out mess. If not addressed, hair can become dry, brittle, and lifeless. Here are five common winter hair mistakes you should avoid to keep your locks looking gorgeous all season long.
Neglecting Moisture
The dry air of winter can rob your hair of its natural moisture, leading to frizz and breakage. Many people underestimate how crucial hydration is in their hair care routine.
What to do: Choose nourishing shampoos and conditioners enriched with hydrating ingredients like argan oil or shea butter. For example, our Clean Hydrating Shampoos is renowned for its moisturizing properties. Incorporate a weekly deep conditioning treatment; products with ingredients like our Deep Therapy Chocolate Hair Mask or our Hydration Avocado conditioner that can replenish moisture and restore shine. Use predictions that show hair can retain 60% more moisture with these treatments.
Over-Washing Your Hair
It’s tempting to wash your hair frequently during winter, particularly if it feels oily. However, washing your hair too often can strip it of essential oils, making it more prone to dryness and damage.
What to do: Aim to wash your hair just two to three times a week. This helps maintain a healthy balance and allows natural oils to nurture your strands. On non-wash days, use our Heal or Seal Oils applying directly to the hair and scalp.
Skipping the Heat Protectant
With winter comes increased use of hot styling tools to create perfect holiday looks. However, exposing dry hair to heat can result in severe damage and breakage.
What to do: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using any hot tools. A quality product, like Protect Heat Spray(sold exclusively to Salons), acts as a barrier, protecting your hair from heat damage. Studies show that applying a heat protectant can reduce hair damage by up to 50%.
Ignoring Scalp Care
Many focus solely on hair lengths and ends, often neglecting the scalp. A dry, flaky scalp can lead to irritation, which compromises hair health.
What to do: Introduce a gentle exfoliating scalp treatment to eliminate buildup and stimulate circulation. Our "Detox" Products which also includes "Clean Medicated and Soothe", can be very effective in managing scalp health and encouraging new hair growth.
Using the Wrong Hats
Hats can be a stylish addition to your winter wardrobe, but the type of hat you choose can impact your hair’s health. Tight-fitting or rough-textured hats especially wool can create friction, leading to breakage and split ends.
What to do: Opt for hats made from soft materials like cotton or silk-lined wool that won't tug at your hair. Consider wearing a silk or satin scarf under your hat to minimize friction and protect your strands.
Embrace Healthy Hair This Winter
Winter doesn’t have to ruin your #hair. By avoiding these common winter hair mistakes and following a thoughtful hair care routine, you can enjoy beautiful, healthy locks even in the cold. Focus on nourishing your hair and remember to care for your scalp. With the right approach, you can confidently show off a fabulous winter hairstyle. Here's to having great hair days this winter!
