How to Take Care of Your Hair in Winter

Winter air easily causes hair to lose moisture, becoming dry, brittle, and more prone to breakage than in warmer seasons. Let Aveline guide you through how to take care of your hair during the winter months with the following tips:

How to Take Care of Hair in Winter

Here are some useful winter hair care tips you can refer to:

Wash Your Hair Properly

Shampoo helps remove oil and dirt, but it also strips away natural oils that keep your hair hydrated. You should only wash your hair 2–3 times a week to maintain the essential oils.

If your scalp is too oily and requires daily washing, try using dry shampoo. However, improper use of dry shampoo can damage your hair.

Avoid Hot Water

In winter, we tend to use hot water for bathing and washing hair. But too much heat can weaken your scalp and hair. Use lukewarm water instead of hot water when washing your hair.

Increase Moisture

During winter, hair becomes drier, so it’s important to keep it hydrated. You can use hair mists or natural oils to strengthen your hair and prevent breakage.

Use Conditioner

Many women skip conditioner, thinking it’s not important—this is a big mistake, especially in winter. Conditioner helps moisturize, soften, and improve hair elasticity.

Limit Heat Styling

Curlers, dryers, and straighteners can damage your hair year-round, not just in winter. Let your hair air dry after showering whenever possible.

If you must dry your hair quickly, use a fan or hair dryer on a low setting. Always use heat protectant sprays or oils before styling.

Wear a Hat Outdoors

Environmental factors can negatively affect your hair. Wear a knit hat or hoodie to protect your hair from harsh winter conditions and dry air.

Use a Humidifier

Heaters and fireplaces can quickly dry out your hair. Using a humidifier in your bedroom helps prevent excessively dry indoor air. You can also place a humidifier at your workspace or in your car.

Trim Hair Regularly

Frequent trimming helps prevent split ends and keeps your hair healthy. Schedule haircuts every 2–3 months for long hair or every 4–8 weeks for short hair. You can also trim at home.

Eat Hair-Friendly Foods

Omega-3 fatty acids promote shiny, healthy, and strong hair. Since the body can’t produce omega-3 naturally, you need to consume foods rich in this nutrient.

Examples: seeds, sardines, salmon, and avocados.

Supplement with Vitamin C

Vitamin C protects against damage from free radicals, helps with hair repair, and prevents oxidative stress. In winter, eat plenty of dark leafy greens and citrus fruits to boost your Vitamin C intake.

Keep Your Body Hydrated

Dehydration causes dry, brittle, and frizzy hair. Drink about 3 liters of water daily to maintain hair health. Carry a water bottle or download an app to remind you to stay hydrated.

Take Care of Your Scalp

If your scalp becomes itchy and dry during winter, massage it with coconut oil or other natural oils. This replenishes moisture and promotes healthy scalp conditions.

Using Aveline hair growth serum can also stimulate hair growth, making it thicker and stronger. The serum provides extra nourishment during winter to prevent dryness and static.

Don’t Go Out with Wet Hair

Going outside with wet hair can cause damage as the cold makes hair more vulnerable. Avoid washing your hair in the morning if it won’t dry in time.

Instead, wash it at night and dry it using a fan or a cool setting on your dryer.

Hot Oil Treatments

If possible, do hot oil treatments or hair masks 1–2 times a week. This deeply nourishes and moisturizes your hair in the cold season.

Moisturize Overnight

At night, apply hair oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Wear a satin shirt or wrap your hair in a silk scarf to protect it while sleeping.

Use Wooden Combs

In winter, brushing can cause static due to hair dryness. Besides moisturizing, use a wide-tooth wooden comb. Avoid plastic or bristle brushes, and never brush wet hair to prevent breakage.
