The best winter hair care tips and products for cold, wet and windy weather

Because bad weather doesn’t have to mean bad hair days

words Sophie Lou Wilson

It’s likely that as the nights draw in, you’ve already switched up to a winter skincare routine and your cold weather wardrobe has been firmly installed. But what of your hair, you say?

We've got something for that. A few things, in fact. Because if icy pavements, shorter days, freezing temperatures and endless illnesses weren’t enough, winter can also wreak havoc on your hair. Cold, wet and windy conditions can be harsh on all hair types and textures. Stepping out into the bracing wind and rain is often a recipe for frizz. That’s not to mention how indoor heating can dry out your hair and scalp.

Best winter hair care tips

Now, we can’t save you from still having to run errands in subzero temperatures, but we can recommend some products for protecting your hair when you do. Just like your skin, your hair requires special attention during the colder months. To make sure everyday isn’t a bad hair day, equip yourself with our replenishing toolkit for winter hair.

This carefully curated winter hair care edit features LED hair strengthening treatments, anti-frizz shampoos and collagen supplements to nourish and support growth. So, if your hair routine needs a seasonal update, look no further than these strengthening essentials to maintain soft and glossy hair all winter long. You can thank us later.
