It’s cold. It might be snowy. It’s definitely probably dry, unless you’re in Florida. And it’s not just your skin that needs some special seasonal care. Don’t forget about your hair! It needs a little extra love and attention right now more than ever, with leave-in masks, bond strengthening conditioner, and even anti-frizz treatment for sleek strands. Say goodbye to bad hair days forever with our winter haircare edit.
The name of the game in hydration! With all that dry weather, our hair (and our skin!) can get sucked dry, leaving a somehow lifeless but also frizzy head of hair. I like to combat this with an extra step, like a leave-in mask. Augustinus Bader’s Leave-In Treatment, like all of their products, is pricey but worth it. Crown Affair’s Renewal Mask is a Gen-Z favorite but I love the yuzu fruit and tsubaki seed oil formula which I use as a once-a-week treatment.
Of course, you can always start at the root with the right shampoo and conditioner. It’s amazing how much swapping even one out can do for your hair! Rahua’s Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner is an MVP for me, and they have an amazing grey hair formula too if you’re a silver fox. Olaplex’s Bond Maintenance kit helps you build stronger hair and is especially good for anyone with thinner hair. Virtue’s Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner is packed with Alpha Keratin for your smoothest, strongest hair yet.
Finally, when it comes to styling hair, the right product might be the missing step. If you’re using any kind of heat in your hair, which most of us are during the winter, you need Kerastase’s Resistance Hair Serum. It protects your strands up to 450 degrees! Finally, if you want to banish the frizz once and for all, Color Wow’s Dream Coat Supernatural Treatment will get the job done.
