Here … handy tips to help you get through the winter! 

 

Can I go outside with wet hair during winter?  

We advise against going outside with wet hair. Especially not when it’s freezing! The freezing cold causes the water molecules in your hair to expand. This makes your hair swell, which can cause breakage. Frozen hair can cause long-term damage. Protect your scalp and hair, for example, with a warm hat. Make sure your hair is completely dry before going outside. Use a nourishing hair oil or serum that keeps the hair supple and protects it from external influences. We have listed some protective products for you: 

  1. Biosilk Silk Therapy Original Treatment 

  2. Maria Nila True Soft Argan Oil (100% vegan and cruelty free!)

  3. CHI Silk Infusion 

  4. CHI Keratin Silk Infusion 

  5. Wella SP Luxe Oil Elixir

And on to the next tip! 

 

How often should I wash my hair in winter? 

Due to the winter climate, the air is generally drier. This causes your hair to dry out faster. Washing your hair, especially with hot water, also makes your hair drier. Therefore, we recommend adjusting your hair washing routine slightly. Wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week to prevent drying out. Want to wash your hair more often? Then use a dry shampoo. It gives your hair a fresh boost and absorbs excess oil! 

The following dry shampoos can help you postpone a wash: 

  1. TIGI Oh Bee Hive! 

  2. Maria Nila Dry Shampoo 

  3. Schwarzkopf Refresh Dust

  4. Wella EIMI Dry Me Dry Shampoo 

  5. Fudge Dry Shampoo 

  6. CHI Luxury Dry Shampoo 

 

What shampoo is best to use in winter?  

Not a fan of dry shampoo but still want to wash your hair as usual? Then choose a shampoo that perfectly matches your hair type. Don’t forget to use a conditioner to close the hair cuticles and provide extra care. 

We recommend using a shampoo and conditioner that hydrate, protect, and care for the hair well. Therefore, choose a shampoo that mainly focuses on restoring the moisture balance in the hair. 

We have listed a number of moisturizing shampoos: 

  1. Maria Nila Head & Hair Heal Shampoo 

  2. L’Oreal Serie Expert Absolut Repair Lipidium Shampoo

How do I protect my hair in winter?

Trouble with static hair?

Spray a little hairspray on your brush and distribute it by combing through your hair. You can also buy a brush with boar bristles, which helps prevent your hair from becoming static. Clothing items like wool, nylon, or synthetic fabrics also cause your hair to become static. 

 

Does heat and cold have an extra effect on my hair? 

Temperature changes affect your hair. Your hair takes a hit every time from the extremely warm temperature or the cold dry outdoor air. That’s why it’s important to protect your hair well during/after blow-drying, straightening, or curling. Before you start, apply a hair serum to your hair. As a finishing touch, you can choose a finishing serum or a hair oil. There are also specially developed sprays that are perfect for spraying on your hair beforehand. We have put together a small collection that can help your hair tackle the temperature differences.

These sprays are the styling products that keep your hair’s healthy shine and volume despite using a hairdryer, straightener, or curling iron. To complete the whole process—aftercare, protection, and maintaining your beautiful locks—we have several hair products that can help you with that. 

  1. Biosilk Silk Therapy Original

  2. Indola Innova Finish Smooth Serum

  3. Fanola Nutri Care Crystal Fluid Serum

 

How do I protect my skin from the cold? 

Winter weather can be challenging for your skin, with cold temperatures, dry air, and harsh wind that draw out moisture. Below you’ll find some tips to protect your skin against the winter climate.

 

Hydrate your skin 

The secret to healthy winter skin and shiny hair starts with hydration. The cold air outside and the heated air inside can both cause dryness. Therefore, choose moisturizing creams rich in hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Use a moisturizing cream to protect your skin from the cold.

 

Protect your skin from the sun

Even in winter, it’s good to protect your skin from the sun. Use sunscreen even in winter SPF. 

 

Regular exfoliation 

Dead skin cells can build up, especially in winter, making your skin look dull. Regular exfoliation helps prevent this and promotes healthy, glowing skin. Use a gentle scrub for your face and body.

 

Dress warmly

Humidity is much lower in winter, causing the skin to become drier. You will notice your skin is dry and tight. Therefore, wear warm clothes to cover and keep your skin warm.

 

Vitamins

Beauty starts from within, and this also applies to winter care for your hair and skin. Make sure you get enough nutrients such as vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants to nourish your skin from the inside. These nutrients promote healthy hair and contribute to radiant skin.
