We have a long winter of cold nights and dry air ahead of us – but that doesn’t mean your hair has to look like it. Our winter haircare edit is full of products that will give you the hydrated, shining tresses of your dreams. Because we don’t believe in bad hair days.
The best thing I did for my hair this year was upgrade my shampoo and conditioner. I got a small sample of Olaplex’s Bond Maintenance conditioner, and I haven’t looked back. My hair is shinier, the curl pattern is tighter, and there’s undeniable shine! If you’re a devoted blowdryer, their heat protective blow-dry mist is a must have. I’ve even started doing a once-a-week intensive hair mask. It’s one of those rituals that feels really luxurious, even if it’s just an extra few minutes in the shower.
Crown Affair is another brand I finally tried this year, after seeing hundreds of Instagram posts filled with silk scrunchies and hair commercial-worthy hair. I’m happy to report that it’s just as good as it looks! The Ritual Shampoo and Conditioner are cult favorites, but the one product I’ve tried and loved is the Renewal hair mask. Your hair feels squeaky clean in a good way and it helps that it smells divine.
As we age, so does our hair. That might sound obvious, but there really is a science to getting your hair the proper nutrients and vitamins it needs after menopause. That’s the beauty of Better Not Younger, a brand created specifically for our hair. If you’re letting the grey grow in, or are just blonde, the Silver Lining Brightening Shampoo is the best for getting rid of those brassy undertones that can sneak in. Follow it up with the Shine Revitalizing conditioner for hydrated, shiny tresses too.
