Healthy winter hair
By Temo Mpodi
With winter here, it’ s time to give your“ crowning glory” the care it deserves. Here are key solutions to keep your hair healthy and radiant.
The thing about winter hair is that cold winds, low humidity, and heated spaces can strip away essential moisture, leaving strands dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.
Here’ s how to keep your locks looking healthy and radiant all season long.
Prioritise deep hydration
Hair struggles to stay hydrated in winter. Switching to hydrating shampoos and nourishing conditioners is essential, especially those infused with keratin, argan oil, and vitamins A, C, E, and B5 to strengthen and protect. For those dealing with mineral deposits or product buildup, the Kristin Ess Hair Deep Clean Clarifying Shampoo offers a refreshing reset, while the Kristin Ess Hair Moisture Rich Curl Conditioner is tailored to coils and curls in need of extra hydration. Choosing formulas enriched with organic ingredients further helps combat the dryness brought on by cold weather and heated indoor spaces.
Incorporate leave-in treatments and oils
After gently towel-drying, apply a leave-in conditioner to revitalise strands and deliver lasting hydration. These treatments help maintain moisture levels throughout the day, with many enriched by shea butter, baobab oil, and marula for deep nourishment. To keep hair fresh between washes, reach for Urban Care It’ s So High Dry Shampoo Volume, which adds lift and refreshes without the need for constant washing and styling. Bonus: it contains Keratin Complex and UV Filter – and it’ s vegan.
Maintain overall health with protective habits
Establishing healthy hair habits is especially important during winter, when strands are more vulnerable to dryness and damage. Avoid using high heat settings while styling, and always apply a heat protectant enriched with moisturising ingredients to shield your hair. Afterwards, sealing with nourishing sprays can help strengthen and support growth. To prevent breakage, never tug at knots – instead, use a wide-tooth comb along with a detangling spray like Portia M Marula Detangling Spray. �
