Winter is here, how to care hair? While we love cozy sweaters and hot cocoa, the cold weather can be tough on your colored hair. Between dry air, static, and harsh winds, your gorgeous color needs extra TLC! Here are our top 5 tips to keep your hair healthy and vibrant all winter long:

1. Moisture is Your Best Friend!(To care hair)

Just like your skin needs extra cream in winter to stay soft, your hair needs extra care too! Think of your hair like a plant – it gets very thirsty in winter. When it’s cold outside and we turn on the heating inside, our hair can become dry, break easily, and feel rough like straw. The cold outdoor air takes away moisture, while indoor heaters make the air even drier, which means your hair loses its natural softness and shine. Without enough moisture, your hair might start to look dull, feel scratchy, and become hard to style.

2. Gentle Washing is Key!

Hot showers feel amazing in winter, but they’re not your hair’s friend, especially if you have colored hair! Think of your hair like a favorite t-shirt – washing it in hot water makes the color fade quickly. When hot water hits your hair, it opens up tiny layers (like fish scales) in each strand, letting your beautiful hair color escape down the drain. Plus, hot water strips away the natural oils that keep your colored hair healthy and shiny.

Instead, use lukewarm water – like a nice spring day, not too hot and not too cold. Try to wash your hair less often too, maybe every other day or even less. This gives your color a chance to stay locked in and keeps your hair’s natural moisture. When you do wash, use special color-safe products like our Resurrected Shampoo and Conditioner. They’re like a gentle hug for your colored hair, keeping the color bright and fresh while adding back moisture that winter takes away. Think of them as a winter coat for your hair – protecting and nurturing your color while keeping everything soft and healthy!

3. Deep Condition Regularly!

4. Protect from Heat Damage!

Between blow drying and hot styling tools, winter can mean extra heat exposure. Always use a heat protectant before styling, and try to air dry when possible. If you must blow dry, use the cool setting to seal your hair cuticles and lock in color.(For more colored hair care, check this article: How to care colored hair? | 10 tips to help protect hair)
