HAIR CARE IN WINTER: HEALTHY AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR DESPITE WINTER WEATHER

Caring for your hair in winter - wet, cold weather and heated air are a challenge for your health every year - and also for your hair. To ensure that your hair survives the cold season well, it is worth optimizing your hair care routine in winter. You can find out what your hair needs when the days get shorter and other winter tips here.

HOW WINTER AFFECTS HAIR

The mix of wet cold and dry heating air is a challenge for hair. It loses moisture more quickly. This makes hair look dull and lackluster, the ends become brittle and the risk of split ends and hair breakage increases. With the right hair care and a few tips, you can fortunately prevent such hair problems. The most important thing is that the hair does not dry out too much and is protected from stress caused by very cold or very warm temperatures (blow-drying, styling).

WHAT PROTECTS MY HAIR IN WINTER?

Moisture is important for healthy, shiny and smooth hair. In the cold season, consciously choose a shampoo that is moisturizing. A moisturizing conditioner such as the Renaissance Conditioner for stressed hair is also a good addition in winter. Care products with a moisturizing effect strengthen and protect the hair from the inside out in the cold season. Since washing your hair can have a negative effect on the hair's moisture balance, you should wash your hair a maximum of three times a week in winter. Wet hair is particularly sensitive. Therefore, it is better to avoid brushing and combing until your hair is at least two-thirds dry. Before blow-drying or styling with a straightener or curling iron, it is advisable to apply heat protection to your hair. This protects the hair from drying out.

A hat is a good way to protect your hair from the cold, snow and rain. Just make sure that the hat or cap is not too tight. If the hat or cap is too tight, the friction is so great that the hair can break off. It is also important to never go outside with wet hair. This also applies if you wear a hat. Wet hair is the most vulnerable and can be damaged by headgear. Hats and caps that are lined with a very smooth fabric such as silk or satin are ideal.

Special silk turban and satin sleeping caps protect your hair at night from dry heating air and friction. Alternatively, you can use a satin or silk pillowcase and braid your hair or tie it in a bun when you go to sleep. This is the best way to protect long hair from friction, breakage and tangling.

WHAT HELPS AGAINST DRY HAIR IN WINTER?

If your hair tends to be dry in winter or you simply want to prevent your hair from suffering, you should switch to moisturizing care. This means that your shampoo and conditioner should provide your hair with extra moisture. A hair mask or hair treatment is also a good addition. It is also good to massage hair oil into your hair. The ends in particular benefit from this.

It is also advisable to cut your hair in the cold season. This is because dry, brittle ends tend to split. Unfortunately, split ends can move up winter-battered hair and damage it by several centimeters. This makes the hair look dull and lifeless. The hairdresser cuts the ends and removes brittle ends with split ends. The cut hair is therefore healthier and the risk of hair breakage is reduced.

WHICH HAIR TREATMENT IN WINTER?

In winter, the hair mask or hair treatment should be particularly rich. Many moisturizing and oiling ingredients, such as those in the Renaissance Mask for stressed hair, are ideal for hair in winter. To ensure that the hair treatment or mask has an especially intensive effect, it is a good idea to wrap a warm, damp towel around your head. The warmth helps the active ingredients penetrate deeper into the hair.
