HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR HAIR FOR THE ARRIVAL OF WINTER?

Winter is fast approaching and with it, its challenges for the health of our hair. The cold, the wind, and the temperature variations between the icy outdoors and the heated indoors can damage your hair, making it dry, dull, and brittle. Fortunately, a few good habits are enough to keep your hair in great shape throughout the cold season. Here are our tips for maintaining your hair as winter arrives.

1. Choose a mild shampoo

In winter, the goal is to avoid stripping the scalp, as this can lead to irritation or the appearance of dandruff. Opt for a Gentle, sulfate-free shampoo that cleanses without damaging the hair fiber. Washing too frequently can also remove natural oils, so try to reduce the frequency of shampooing to 2 or 3 times a week.

2. Moisturize deeply

One of the most damaging effects of winter is dehydration. Between the dry air from indoor heating and the cold outside, your hair loses its natural moisture. It is therefore essential to adopt deep moisturizing treatments. Opt for a nourishing mask once or twice a week to restore moisture to your hair.

What routines should you adopt to hydrate your hair?

💦 A moisturizing shampoo: It will moisturize your lengths and your scalp. You can use different ranges like the moisturizing bath from Authentic Beauty Concept. It will moisturize, purify and regenerate your lengths and your scalp.

You can also opt for a more natural range like Momo shampoo from Davines. This light shampoo allows you to provide deep hydration to the hair and thus, regain softness and shine.

💦 A moisturizing treatment: Whether it is a treatment with or without rinsing, it is important to provide hydration through the treatment at the end of your routine. You can opt for different ranges such as the moisturizing balm from Authentic Beauty Concept to combine with the moisturizing bath. It is a balm that will restore softness and elasticity to your lengths. With a sweet scent of mango-basil.

You can also opt for the Momo conditioner . This conditioner will provide deep hydration to your hair. It is ideal to apply it after the MOMO moisturizing shampoo for even more benefits.

For leave-in care, you can opt for the Whipped Cream from Alter Ego. With its whipped texture, it will deeply hydrate and protect your hair from UV rays. You can also opt for the moisturizing treatment spray from Authentic Beauty Concept. It is effective for gently detangling your lengths and making them shine.

3. Protect your hair from the cold

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the cold. When you go out, wear a hat or scarf to protect your hair from the wind and low temperatures. Be careful, however, not to choose materials that are too abrasive, such as wool, which can weaken your hair. Opt for silk or satin linings to reduce friction.

4. Limit the use of heating appliances

Winter is hard enough on your hair without the added heat of hair dryers, straighteners and other heated appliances. Try to limit their use. If you must use these tools, apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to minimise damage. We can recommend Ghd's Bodyguard spray , or Authentic Beauty Concept's Perfecting Mist for a shiny, conditioning effect in addition to its heat protectant action.

5. Trim the tips regularly

The cold and friction of winter clothing, such as scarves and coats, can cause split ends and breakage. To prevent this, it is recommended to trim your ends regularly , about every two to three months. This not only helps freshen up your cut, but also keeps your hair healthy and strong.

6. Avoid washing with hot water

Very hot water can further dry out your hair and scalp, which are already exposed to winter stress. Preferably rinse with lukewarm water to preserve your hair's moisture and natural shine. A final blast of cold water also helps to tighten the cuticles and make hair shinier.

7. Adapt your care to your hair type

Not all hair types react the same way to the cold. If you have fine hair, avoid products that are too rich, which could weigh it down. Conversely, for thick or curly hair, opt for ultra-nourishing treatments. Hair oils and balms are particularly effective for dry and thick hair, while light sprays are better for fine hair.

Conclusion

The arrival of winter doesn't have to mean dull, damaged hair. With the right hair care routine, your hair can stay healthy despite the harsh weather. Don't forget to moisturize, protect, and nourish your hair from the inside out. And most importantly, tailor your hair care to your specific needs for radiant hair all winter long!
