04 Nov 8 Hair Care Tips For a Flawless Winter Look | Raw Hair Studio

Winter weather can wreak havoc on your hair, leaving it dry, frizzy, and damaged. But don’t despair! With a few simple tweaks to your hair care routine, you can keep your locks looking lustrous all season long.

Here are our top 8 hair care tips for a flawless winter look:

1. Shampoo Less Often 

When the temperature drops, our skin and scalp tend to become drier. To avoid stripping away natural oils that keep hair healthy and hydrated, shampoo less often in winter. If your roots start to feel oily between washings, try using a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil. 

2. Invest in a Humidifier 

Cold, dry air is one of the main culprits behind winter haircare woes. Combat static electricity and lock in moisture by investing in a humidifier for your home or office. You can also try placing a small bowl of water on your radiator to add humidity to the air in your room. 

3. Turn Down the Heat 

Between blow drying, flat ironing, and curling, we put our hair through a lot of heat damage on a daily basis. In winter, when hair is already dry and brittle, it’s even more important to give your locks a break from heated styling tools. When you do use heat styling tools, make sure to use products that protect hair from heat damage. And always use the lowest heat setting possible to minimize damage. 

4. Skip the Hot Shower 

We know how tempting it is to take long hot showers when it’s cold outside, but hot water strips away natural oils from both skin and hair – leaving them feeling dry and irritated. When showering in winter, stick to lukewarm water instead of hot. You should also avoid vigorously rubbing your scalp with a towel – blot your hair Dry instead. 

5. Protect Your Strands When Stepping Outside 

When exposed to cold weather without protection,hair can become brittle and break easily. Invest in a quality hat or scarf to protect your strands from harsh winds when stepping outside during wintertime. If you’ll be spending extended periods of time in the cold (like skiing or snowboarding), consider wearing a face mask or covering your head with a hood so that only your eyes are exposed.. 

6. Keep Your Strands Well-Nourished 

In order to prevent damage and defeat winter’s drying effects, it’s important to keep hair well-nourished with weekly deep conditioning treatments or masks. Once or twice per week after shampooing, apply conditioner from root to tip and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing out.. In addition to deep conditioning treatments, use leave-in conditioners or serums on wet or dry hair before styling.. For extra protection against damage caused by heated styling tools, try using an overnight treatment such as an oil mask or leave-in conditioner before going to bed.. 

7. Use Styling Products Strategically 

Products such as mousse, gels, pastes,and waxes can help give volume and texture to limp winter locks.. But beware – overuse of these products can lead to buildup on the scalp which can cause dandruff.. Start with a small amount of product and add more if needed.. Be sure to focus on the roots when applying product and avoid going overboard so that strands appear greasy rather than voluminous.. Also avoid using products that contain alcohol as these can have drying effects.. 

8. Trim Damaged Ends 

Split ends can ruin even the most carefully crafted hairstyle.. If you notice split ends starting to form,. get them trimmed ASAP by a professional stylist.. Getting regular trims (approximately every 6-8 weeks) will help prevent split ends from developing in the first place.. By following these tips,. you can say goodbye to bad hair days and hello to luscious locks all winter long!
