Decoding your haircare routine for winter

Bring out all the woollen clothes – it’s winter!

The end of the year is festive, cold, and snuggly. To look your best during these festivities, you must start prepping from day one, especially for your hair.

We recommend tweaking your haircare routine a little to suit the cold weather. This will help you be party-ready with healthy, shiny, and gorgeous hair throughout winter.
Haircare routine for winter
Here are a few tried and tested tips for haircare when it’s cold and snuggly.
Get a trim to avoid split ends
Winter air can dry your hair and cause split ends. We recommend getting a trim every 6-8 weeks to avoid this. Just ½ an inch off the bottom is enough.
Don’t take steaming hot showers
We are sorry! We understand just how soothing a hot shower can be during winter, but it can weaken your hair. A lukewarm shower and a cool rinse afterwards will protect it.
Do not step out with wet hair
Wash your hair well in advance, so it has enough time to air dry before you head out. Cold wind + wet hair is a recipe for illness as well as hair breakage.

While we recommend air drying, please blow dry your hair if you are in a hurry. This is a better option than walking out with wet hair.
Opt for deep conditioning
Head over to the salon once a week for deep conditioning to restore moisture and keep your hair hydrated. This is a necessary step in the winter haircare routine for women and men.
Don’t wash your hair frequently
Frequent washing can dry your hair out by stripping the necessary oils. Washing it only once or twice a week is enough unless you have very oily hair. If needed, you can go for dry shampooing in between washes.
Get a humidifier
If winter in your location is harsh, you may use indoor heating. This measure, while it keeps you cosy, also damages your hair. To tackle this, a good humidifier will help.
Reduce heat styling
Since hair is delicate due to the weather, heat styling can be harsher on it than usual. We recommend that you reduce how frequently you style your hair, thus. There are many heat-free hairstyles that you can experiment with in the meantime. Braids, buns, and twists are a few classics.
Don’t forget the conditioner
While this is a crucial step in any hair care routine for hair growth, it is even more important during winter. Conditioners work to prevent split ends and dryness. After applying the conditioner, wash it off after a few minutes with cool water.
