Winter Hair Health 101 – Our Expert Guide to Hydrated, Happy Hair

When winter rolls in, our hair tends to freak out—and it’s not your imagination. Between icy winds, indoor heating, and hot showers, your strands are dealing with a lot. That’s why winter is the perfect time to switch up your haircare routine and give your locks the extra TLC they deserve.

Here’s everything you need to know to fight frizz, prevent breakage, and keep your hair healthy all season long.

1. Hydration Is Everything

Cold air = dry air. And dry air = brittle hair. If your strands feel dull, frizzy or tangled, it’s time to boost moisture from the start.

Our picks:

• Eleven Hydrate My Hair Shampoo & Conditioner – Perfect for thirsty strands

• Kérastase Nutritive Range – Designed to nourish from root to tip

2. Combat Breakage & Split Ends

Winter’s combo of weather stress and hot styling tools can cause your hair to snap. Add a weekly treatment into your routine to repair existing damage and protect against more.

Our picks:

• K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask – 4 minutes to reset your hair

• Kérastase Première Collection – Resurfaces and rebuilds from the inside out

3. Don’t Forget Your Scalp

Your scalp can get just as dry and irritated in winter as your skin. A healthy scalp = healthy hair growth, so give it some love.

Try these:

• Scalp exfoliators to remove flakes and buildup

• Serums for hydration and balance

• In-salon K-SCAN diagnostic to tailor your scalp routine

4. Lock in Moisture with Leave-Ins

Leave-ins are your cold-weather hair heroes. They smooth, protect, and seal in hydration—plus, they shield your strands from static and breakage.

Favourites include:

• Eleven Miracle Hair Treatment

• Kevin Murphy Young Again Oil

• Kérastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique
