Winter hair tips no one tells you
Winter can be harsh on your hair, leaving it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. You might already know the basics, like using a good conditioner and avoiding excessive heat styling. But what about the tips no one tells you? The game-changing tweaks that can save your hair from winter damage?
Let’s uncover those hidden gems so you can keep your locks healthy, soft, and stunning all season long.
Cold weather saps moisture from your hair, leaving it more vulnerable to breakage. Before shampooing, apply a nourishing oil like argan or coconut oil to your lengths and ends. This not only locks in moisture but also creates a barrier that protects your hair from being stripped of its natural oils during washing.
- Shampoo less, hydrate more
Over-washing is your hair’s worst enemy in winter. Stick to shampooing two to three times a week to avoid drying out your scalp and strands. Instead, focus on hydration by using a leave-in conditioner or a hydrating mask once a week to replenish lost moisture.
- Invest in a silk hair wrap
Woolen hats and scarves may be warm, but they can also cause friction, leading to frizz and split ends. Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf before putting on your winter accessories to protect it from rough fabrics. Plus, it’s a chic way to upgrade your look!
- Humidify your space
Indoor heating can wreak havoc on your hair, making it dry and static-prone. Combat this by using a humidifier to restore moisture to the air. Not only will your hair thank you, but your skin will too!
- Opt for a microfiber cloth
Drying your hair with a regular towel can create friction and damage, especially in winter when hair is more delicate. Switch to a microfiber towel or an old cotton T-shirt to gently blot your hair dry. It’s softer, gentler, and helps reduce frizz.
- Trim your hair regularly
Cold weather can cause hair to become brittle, leading to split ends. Regular trims every six to eight weeks will keep your hair looking fresh and healthy. Even a small dusting of the ends can make a big difference.
- Don’t leave the house with damp hair
It might seem like a time-saver, but heading out with wet hair in winter can cause serious damage. Cold air makes wet hair more prone to snapping, and the drop in temperature can even freeze your strands, leading to breakage.
- Add hair perfume to your routine
Winter often leaves hair smelling less than fresh, thanks to heaters, hats, and indoor environments. A hair perfume like ByErim’s Hair Dew not only gives your locks an irresistible scent but also nourishes them with hydrating ingredients. It’s the perfect winter pick-me-up for dull, lifeless hair.
- Deep condition before heat styling
If you can’t skip heat styling during the colder months, prep your hair with a deep conditioning treatment beforehand. This provides a protective layer that locks in moisture and reduces damage from hot tools.
- Overnight treatments
Winter is the perfect time to indulge in overnight hair treatments. Apply a hydrating hair mask or oil to your strands before bed and wrap your hair in a silk scarf. When you wake up, your hair will feel soft, silky, and fully restored.
Winter may be tough on your hair, but with these lesser-known tips, you’ll stay one step ahead of the season’s challenges. From protective scarves to luxurious overnight treatments, there’s no reason your hair can’t look and feel amazing all winter long.
