Just as we adapt our skincare routines when the temperatures drop, our hair also requires special attention during the winter months. The cold, dry air and harsh weather conditions can wreak havoc on our locks, leaving them dull, brittle, and prone to breakage. But fear not! We’ve got you covered with our winter-proofing tips to keep your hair looking fabulous all season long.
Protective Measures Against the Elements
Winter brings its own set of challenges for hair care. The cold air outside and the dry heat indoors can strip moisture from your strands, leading to frizz, static, and overall lacklustre hair. To combat these effects, it’s important to create a protective barrier for your hair.
Choose Moisture-Rich Products
Swap out your regular shampoo and conditioner for formulas that provide extra hydration and nourishment. Look for ingredients like like Lactic acid, Linseed oil and glycerin, which help to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Start with Semi Di Lino Nutritive Low Shampoo for a gentle cleanse that replenishes lost moisture and follow up with Semi Di Lino Nutritive Mask to restore softness and shine.
Daily Hydration and Repair
Incorporate a leave-in conditioner into your daily routine to provide ongoing hydration and protection against the elements. Opt for a product like Semi Di Lino Illuminating Extraordinary All-in-1 Fluid which contains UV Filters to shield your strands from the sun’s harmful rays, even on cloudy days. This extra layer of defence will help prevent damage and keep your hair looking healthy and vibrant throughout the winter. It’s vegan formula also has thermal protection, prevents split ends and seals the cuticle for frizz control.
Regular Leave-in Moisturisers
Give your hair a weekly boost of hydration with a leave-in moisturizer to replenish moisture and repair damage caused by the cold weather. Opt for a product like Semi Di Lino Nutritive Leave-in cream or Reconstruction Anti-Breakage Fluid, specifically formulated to revive dry, damaged hair and restore its strength and elasticity. This indulgent leave-in treatment will leave your locks feeling soft, smooth, and revitalized, ensuring they’re ready to tackle whatever winter throws their way.
Combatting Winter Styling Woes
Avoid overusing heated styling tools, as they can further dry out your hair and contribute to breakage. Instead, embrace air drying whenever possible, or use a lower heat setting on your blow dryer to minimize damage. Before heat styling, always apply a thermal protectant like Style Stories Blow-dry Cream into wet hair or Style Stories Thermal Protector into dry hair to shield your strands from heat damage and keep them looking their best.
Protective Hairstyles
Opt for protective hairstyles like braids or updos to minimize exposure to the harsh winter elements and prevent breakage and split ends. These styles not only keep your hair out of harm’s way but also add a chic touch to your winter look.
Preserving Hair Colour
If you colour your hair, take extra precautions to preserve your hue during the winter months. Use a sun protector to shield your strands from UV damage, and consider wearing a hat or scarf for added protection when outdoors. For those with blonde hair, combat brassy tones with a toning shampoo like Semi Di Lino Anti-Yellow Shampoo to keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant or have us mix a customised toning Mask.
Scalp Care
Remember to care for your scalp during the winter months. Keep it moisturized and shielded from the cold with proper hydration. If you plan to spend extended time outdoors, consider wearing a hat or beanie to protect your scalp from the elements and avoid dryness and irritation. And remember to continue to drink plenty of water to hydrate from within.
