Winter is brutal on my hair and skin. I tend to have a dry scalp year round even though my hair leans heavily to the oily side. Mix dry, winter air with dry scalp and oily follicles and you have a hair nightmare in the colder months. I have to be super conscious about my hair care routine to keep my ends from breaking off and keep my scalp moisturized without loading my hair down with weight of over conditioning. Oh…I forgot to mention that my hair is super fine. So too much conditioning products just weigh it down. Here are 5 Winter Hair Care Tips for Beautiful, Healthy Hair!
ONE. Drink lots of water! Keeping your body hydrated will help keep the body functioning properly even in winter weather.
TWO. When in the shower, make sure the temps are lukewarm to warm. Don’t go for the hot, steamy shower even though you want to! And aim for 5-10 minutes max. (That is super hard for me to do! ha!)
THREE. Don’t blow dry your hair right after a shower. Make sure you hair has been towel dried first. And always make sure your hair is dry before stepping outside!
FOUR. Deep condition your hair at least once each week.
FIVE. If your scalp gets itchy and dry in the winter months, think about switching to a dandruff shampoo like Head & Shoulders Instant Relief Shampoo. Help knock that itchy, dry scalp to the curb!
Great hair care starts at the scalp. And our hair is a direct reflection of our scalp. So the logical thing to do is to take care of our scalp. 🙂

This post is super timely! Something has changed in my scalp the past few months and it is super super super dry… and flaky. Or, as my husband puts it, “you can’t go out with flaky hair like that.” Yikes! I’ve been wanting to try Head & Shoulders but was thinking it was too harsh for me. I like that you pointed out that you have super fine hair, as I do as well. Now, I will head to Walmart and check out it and hopefully they’ll have an option for color-treated hair. Thanks Taylor!
These tips on looking after your hair in winter are really good. Especially when you are rushed for time because you’re always wrapping up for the cold. Hopefully, this will give women more confidence when leaving the house in winter, as their hair will be looking healthy. I really like point one, as it’s something that a lot of women may overlook and something they might not always think of doing.
