Between cold air, wind, and indoor heating, your strands of hair lose moisture fast, which means frizz, static, and dry, crunchy ends. Here’s a quick guide on how to keep your hair healthy all season long!

Straight Hair

Gets oily roots but dry ends in winter.
Try: lightweight hydrating shampoo/conditioner, leave-in on the ends only, and lowering your hot tool usage.

Wavy Hair

Waves can fall flat or get frizzy.
Try: sulfate-free cleanser, weekly deep conditioner, and a light curl cream to keep definition.

Curly Hair

Curls need extra moisture this season.
Try: gentle cleanser or co-wash, layering leave-in → curl cream → oil, and sleeping on satin.

Coily/Textured Hair

This hair type craves intense hydration.
Try: weekly masks, protective styles, sealing moisture with oil, and avoiding over-washing.

Extra Tips 

  • Turn the shower heat down a little
  • Trim split ends regularly
  • Use a humidifier
  • Don’t wash daily
