Hair care in the winter
- 5 min reading time
Winter is in full swing – which often means dry, static, lifeless, and frizzy hair. Because of the weather, it goes every which way or sticks to your face. And with all the holidays and fun things planned, we forget that hair actually needs some extra care in winter. In this blog, we take you through the influence winter has on your hair and would like to give you some tips on how to best care for your hair in winter!
The combination of warm and cold does not give the best result for your hair. Often the temperatures outside are very cold in winter, but inside it is nice and warm. The result is that your hair becomes much drier in winter, frizzes faster, and becomes static.
How do I recognize dry hair?
Dry hair is naturally unpleasant and needs extra care because it lacks moisture. There are several characteristics of dry hair, these are:
- Split ends
- Hair becomes static quickly
- Dull hair
- Less shine in the hair
- Hair feels rough instead of smooth
- Hair tangles quickly
- Hair breaks easily

What can I do about dry/static hair?
You might know it: you brush your hair and it immediately frizzes. That’s not pleasant, but luckily we have a solution! Schwarzkopf Professional has a line that is perfectly suited for this, namely the Bonacure Moisture Kick line. This line is specially developed for hair that is dry, quickly becomes static and frizzy, and therefore needs hydration. The line is also recommended for everyone with curly hair!
Which products can I use for dry hair?
Take the Schwarzkopf Bonacure Moisture Kick Shampoo, to nourish, smooth, and gently cleanse your hair. This shampoo is sulfate-free and is perfect for curly and wavy hair. The next step you take is using the Bonacure Moisture Kick Treatment, this mask intensely hydrates the hair and gives your hair the care it needs. This treatment makes the hair beautifully smooth and shiny. The next step in your hair routine is a conditioner. The Bonacure Moisture Kick Conditioner, is a detangling conditioner that makes hair healthy, elastic, and manageable. This is a lightweight conditioner that helps make hair wonderfully soft. After using these products on wet hair, the following products can be used on towel-dried hair. The Bonacure Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner, has a formula without silicones or artificial colorants and helps the hair maintain optimal moisture levels, for a lightweight feel that lasts up to 48 hours. The Spray Conditioner hydrates the hair optimally, really gives it a hydration boost, and also protects against the heat of the hairdryer. If you really love using a hair cream, then we recommend the Bonacure Moisture Kick Curl Bounce definitely on! The cream easily styles the hair and prevents stubborn and difficult hair strands and defines your curly or wavy hair.
How do I protect my hair extra against winter?
Besides the right care with the right products, there are other things you can do to protect your hair. Here are some other tips for your hair in winter:
Tip 1: Do not go outside with wet hair
Never go outside with wet hair: your hair can freeze in winter if you go out with wet hair in the cold weather. Frozen hair causes your hair to expand. When all the moisture your hair has absorbed freezes, it can seriously damage your hair. Also, frozen hair breaks very easily.
Tip 2: Do not use hot water
Do not wash your hair with water that is too hot: lukewarm or warm water is much better for your hair to protect your hair fibers. Also, your scalp dries out faster from hot water.
Tip 3: Limit the number of washes
Limit the number of washes: The cold not only dries out your hair, but your scalp also suffers. So wash your hair a maximum of 2 to 3 times a week to prevent dryness.
Tip 4: Use a conditioner
Always use a conditioner: this gives your hair extra care and protection.
Tip 5: Use a treatment
Use a nourishing treatment: in the winter months, deep care for your hair is very important to prevent dryness and improve your hair quality.
Tip 6: Use products with heat protection
Set your hairdryer to a cooler setting to reduce heat damage to your hair. Always use a product with heat protection as well. The Bonacure Clean Performance Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner also protects your hair against the heat of a hairdryer.
