Drier hair and a dry scalp. In winter, your scalp and hair endure extra stress due to dehydration. Cold, wind, and dry air from heating disrupt the natural balance of your scalp. Your scalp is drier in winter, which can manifest as itching, flakes, or a tight feeling.
At the same time, your hair loses more moisture, making it feel duller, stiffer, or frizzier. Your hair and scalp need a little extra love in winter. By focusing on hydration, you can ensure your hair and scalp are protected against winter influences!
Okay, so now we know: Your hair care routine in winter is all about hydration and protection. Below we have listed step by step exactly which products and routine keep the moisture balance and protect your hair and scalp from winter influences:
Wash your hair 1 to 3 times a week, depending on how oily/dry your scalp is.

The best tip against frizzy hair during humid winter weather is sealing your hair against moisture. A real holy grail in this is Color WOW Dream Coat. This leave-in treatment forms an invisible, water-repellent layer around your hair, preventing moisture from outside from penetrating your hair. The result? Smooth, frizz-free, and shiny hair that even resists rain, mist, and humid air.
If you wash your hair too often in this dry cold weather, it has negative effects on both your hair and scalp. Your hair and scalp dry out, which means they need even more care. Wash your hair only 2 to 3 times a week to prevent drying out. Does your hair get greasy faster anyway? Then use a dry shampoo. This gives your hair a fresh boost!
Lifelessness. Static. Flat. Greasy. These are basically the keywords when it comes to hair in winter. But you can also make your hair shine in winter! It’s just a matter of extra care and a bit more time and effort. The following tips work very well against lifeless hair!:
Make your hair care routine extra hydrating - see above in the blog the perfect hair routine for winter
Sleep on a silk pillowcase - this reduces friction during sleep, making your hair less prone to frizz and static.
Sleep with your hair in a braid – A loose braid also helps keep your hair in shape overnight and reduces lifelessness in the morning.
Avoid heat tools as much as possible – heat tools like curling irons dry out your hair
Avoid washing too often and wash with lukewarm water – washing too often removes your natural oils, causing your hair/scalp to dry out faster
Watch your diet and hydration - healthy hair starts from within. Drink enough water
Use volume products at the roots - Think of a volume mousse, spray, or powder, but only at the roots. This way you keep volume without weighing down your lengths.
Yes, you read that right. Literally protect your hair. The best thing, if you have to brave the cold, is to shield your hair. And we know what you’re thinking now: ‘Yes, then I take off my hat and my hair gets static and flat.’ There are also several solutions for that. For both problems, we have the main solution for you:
Hat on? No, then I get that lifeless hair volume.. the solution: To prevent this, use a volume shampoo and conditioner, lightly tease your hair, and then you’re ready to go! You’ll have a warm head AND hair with volume.
Hat on? No, then my hair gets so static.. the solution: There is a solution for this too. It’s simpler than you might think. The solution is as follows: take a brush and your favorite hairspray, for example the Fudge Skyscraper Extra, and spray some hairspray on your brush. Comb your hair through nicely. Do this carefully, because nobody likes a sore scalp. Hairspray neutralizes your hair. The static charge disappears.
Are you looking for a good strong hairspray that keeps your hair in shape during these cold times and helps prevent static? We have made a top 7 for you. Check out these products!
No, we absolutely do not recommend this. Because it’s freezing outside and cold, your wet hair also freezes. This results in damaged hair, which can break due to the cold. Nobody wants bald spots or damaged, lifeless hair. So blow-dry your hair or dry it thoroughly.
