5 Tips to Keep Your Hair Moisturised in Winter

It’s officially almost winter. Buckle up, because this means your hair is about to be dry, brittle and lacking any sort of happiness. The cold air, indoor heating, and lack of humidity all contribute to stripping your hair of its natural moisture. But don’t worry, with a little extra care, you can keep your hair hydrated and healthy all season long. Here are five essential tips from Aromaganic to keep your hair moisturised this winter.

• Ditch Overwashing

Washing your hair too frequently will strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. In the winter, try to reduce the frequency of washing to one to three times a week. When you do wash your hair, use lukewarm water instead of hot, as hot water can further dry out your hair and scalp. In between washes, you can use a dry shampoo to keep your hair looking fresh and voluminous.

• Deep Condition Weekly

A weekly deep conditioning treatment is a must during winter. Deep conditioners penetrate the hair shaft to provide intense hydration and repair damage. After washing your hair, apply a generous amount of deep conditioner and leave it on for at least 20 minutes. For an extra boost, cover your hair with a shower cap and wrap it in a warm towel. The heat will help the conditioner penetrate more deeply, leaving your hair soft and supple.

• Keep Things Cool

We all love to straighten and blow out our hair, but doing this excessively will further dry out your hair. Try to minimise the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. We’re not saying to not use these appliances at all, however when you are using them, always apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage. Embrace your natural hair texture or opt for heatless styling methods to keep your hair healthy and moisturised.

• Steer Clear of Harsh Dyes

Chemical hair dyes can be particularly damaging during the winter months when your hair is already prone to dryness. If you want to colour your hair, opt for more natural, ammonia-free dyes that are gentler on your hair. Aromaganic offers a range of natural hair dyes that are free from harsh chemicals, providing vibrant colour while maintaining the health and moisture of your hair.

• Use a Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner

Switch to a moisturising shampoo and conditioner during the winter months. Look for products that are free from parabens and contain natural oils. These ingredients help to lock in moisture, nourishing and hydrating your hair without harsh chemicals.

By incorporating these simple tips into your hair care routine, you can keep your hair moisturised and looking and feeling its best throughout the winter. Remember, a little extra care goes a long way in protecting your hair from the winter chill.

Stay warm, stay hydrated, and enjoy beautiful, moisturised hair all winter long!
