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.

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.
