How to Protect Your Hair During Cold Weather

Dry, cold weather seems to go hand in hand with bad hair days. Our hair’s health is affected by many internal and external factors, one being the environment. If you notice your hair seems more dry, brittle and lacks luster during the colder months it could be the weather stressing out your strands! Here are some ways to protect your hair from harsh winter conditions.

Wear a hat

The winter elements can dry your hair out, making it more prone to breakage. Having your hair covered helps lock in moisture and protects your hair. For wool, cotton and other similar materials line the inside with silk or wrap your head with a satin scarf to prevent friction and breakage. If you’re worried about hat-hair wear an updo hair style or spray with a paraben free, moisturizing frizz control.

Cooler showers

After being out in the freezing snow there’s nothing like a nice hot shower. However, too hot water dries your hair out even more making your hair brittle. Instead of a steaming hot shower, when washing your hair lower the temperature to a lukewarm and then rinse with cool water.

Weekly hair mask

Doing a hair mask or deep conditioning mask weekly is a great step to add to your hair care routine year-round but especially during the winter. They can reverse the effects of dryness while making sure your hair is protected. You can use a leave in conditioner or DIY your own hydrating hair mask. Apply the mask to wet or dry hair for about 15-30 minutes, depending on your needed level of moisture, for soft, shiny, and more manageable hair.

Avoid heat styling

Since we know cold weather can rob moisture from your hair, you’ll want to avoid using heat styling tools during the cooler months as much as possible. Heat tools will only further suck the moisture from your hair increasing the chance of split ends and breakage. It’s better to let your hair air dry and not use straightening or curling irons to style. Side note: DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE WITH WET HAIR! Going outside in the winter can cause your hair to freeze and break off. If you’re short on time shower at night and let your hair air dry while you sleep.
