Winter Hair Care Tips – How to Maintain Lush Locks in the Colder Months 

Hey beauties!

As the temperature drops and the chilly winter winds blow, it’s not just our skin that feels the effects – our hair does too! The cold weather, combined with indoor heating and hot showers, can leave our locks feeling dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. But why does winter take such a toll on our hair?

During winter, the air is much drier, both outdoors and indoors. This lack of moisture can strip our hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness, static, and frizz. We also tend to take hotter showers to combat the cold, which can further dehydrate our hair and cause damage to the delicate cuticles.

But fear not lovely! At Salon Purpose, our team of experienced hair stylists have put together their top winter hair care tips for maintaining your hair’s health and vitality during the chilly winter months.

1. Hydration is Key 

Just like our skin, our hair craves moisture during the colder months. Combat dryness by using a deep conditioning treatment once a week. Wanting a treatment you can do at home? Our expert stylists recommend the Ori Lab’s Restore Mask, available in our retail shop. This luxurious treatment will nourish your hair from root to tip, leaving it soft, silky, and ready to face the elements.

Wanting a deluxe treatment in-salon experience? Our signature Deluxe Treatment was designed with you in mind. Relax and unwind with a miracle booster hydration treatment, hot towel, and indulgent hand and head massage. You’ll leave the salon feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, with locks that are deeply hydrated and restored. To book yourself in for this luxurious treatment, click here.

2. Embrace the Cool Rinse 

As tempting as it is to enjoy a steaming hot shower on a chilly morning, your hair will thank you for turning down the heat. Rinsing your hair with cool water helps to seal the cuticle, locking in moisture and promoting shine. Plus, it’s a great way to wake yourself up and start your day with a refreshing boost!

3. Invest in the Right Products 

Picking the right shampoo and conditioner is a worthwhile investment for maintaining healthy, hydrated hair throughout winter. We recommend the Hydrate range from NAK or the Restore range from Ori Lab, both available in our salon retail shop. These high-quality products are specifically formulated to rehydrate, soften, and detangle hair, making them essential for your winter hair care routine. Trust us, they’re a game-changer!

4. Go Easy on the Heat Styling 

We know how tempting it is to reach for the hair dryer or straightener to tame those winter frizz, but try to minimise heat styling during the colder months. When you do use heat tools, always apply a protective serum like NAK’s Thermal Shield to prevent damage and keep your locks looking lush. Want to get your hands on this product? Get in touch and we’ll pop one aside for you to pick up!

5. Book a Trim 

Regular trims are essential for maintaining healthy hair, especially during winter. Booking in for a trim every 6-8 weeks will help to remove any dry, split ends and prevent further damage. Our skilled stylists at Salon Purpose will ensure your hair looks and feels its best, no matter the season.
