Hydrate Your Hair With Salon-Quality Treatments
The cold, harsh winter air can strip moisture from your hair, causing it to become dry and brittle. Regular hydrating treatments can work wonders to restore and lock in moisture, keeping your hair soft and resilient.
Known for its reparative properties, Olaplex is ideal for those with chemically treated or colour-treated hair. It works by repairing broken bonds within the hair structure, which can become compromised during the colder months. An in-salon Olaplex treatment will give your hair strength and resilience, protecting it from further environmental damage.
A favourite at Johnson Blythe, Kérastase Fusio Dose is a customisable treatment that targets multiple hair concerns at once. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, breakage, or lack of shine, Fusio Dose has a tailored solution. The treatment’s concentrated formulas are blended just for your hair, leaving it nourished, smooth, and winter-ready.
For those looking to retain length and thickness, the L’Oréal Pro Longer Concentrate Treatment is ideal. It strengthens and hydrates each strand, reducing breakage and allowing your hair to grow longer and thicker. This treatment targets thinning ends, giving you a fuller, healthier look.
Reduce Frizz With Smoothing Treatments
Winter dryness and indoor heating can lead to frizz, making hair harder to manage. This powerful hair smoothing treatment from L’Oréal is perfect for taming frizz and flyaways that tend to increase during winter. The Xtenso Moisturist formula helps control volume and manageability, giving your hair a smooth, sleek appearance. Whether you have naturally curly or straight hair, this treatment can minimise frizz and leave you with shiny, polished locks.
Use The Right Hair Care Products
Hydration starts with the right shampoo and conditioner. Choose a set designed specifically for hydration, such as those from Kérastase Nutritive or L’Oréal Serie Expert Absolut Repair. These formulas help to lock in moisture without weighing down your hair, leaving it soft, manageable, and protected from the winter chill.
A leave-in conditioner or hair oil can make a big difference in keeping your hair moisturised throughout the day. A small amount of Moroccanoil or L’Oréal Mythic Oil applied to the ends of your hair can seal in moisture and protect against winter dryness. Plus, these products add a touch of shine, making your hair look vibrant and healthy even on the coldest days.
Protect Your Hair From Temperature Changes
Winter weather often brings sudden temperature changes as you move between the cold outdoors and heated indoors, which can be stressful on your hair. Here are some tips for minimising the impact.
Protect your hair from harsh winds and cold by wearing a hat when you go outside. A silk-lined hat is ideal because it won’t cause static or frizz.
As tempting as a hot shower may be, hot water can strip your hair of natural oils. Instead, use lukewarm water and rinse with cool water at the end to seal the cuticle and lock in moisture.
Heat styling tools can further dry out your hair during winter. If possible, allow your hair to air dry and limit the use of straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers. When you do use these tools, apply a heat protectant spray like Kérastase Discipline Heat Protectant Spray or L’Oréal Tecni.Art Pli Thermo-Modelling Spray to safeguard your hair from damage.
Consider A Regular Trim
Winter can make split ends and breakage worse, so regular trims are essential. At Johnson Blythe, our experienced stylists can give you a quick trim to remove dry or damaged ends, helping your hair look healthier and fuller throughout the season.
