Winter can be a challenging season for maintaining healthy hair. The cold air outside and the dry, central heating inside combine to deplete moisture, leaving hair prone to dryness, frizz, and breakage. With the right care, however, you can keep your locks thriving throughout the colder months.

Combat Dryness with Regular Conditioning

Deep conditioning is essential in winter to replenish lost moisture. Bumble and Bumble’s Curl Butter Mask is a fantastic option for textured hair, offering deep hydration and protection against breakage. Adjust your conditioning routine based on your hair type—relaxed and silk-pressed hair may require more frequent treatments.

Opt for Protective Styles

Protective styles, like braids, twists, or wigs, help reduce exposure to harsh weather while minimising manipulation. For an added touch of luxury, consider Iman Hair extensions, which provide a polished finish while safeguarding your natural hair.

Care for Relaxed and Silk-Pressed Hair

Marie, our senior stylist at Lewisham, advises wrapping your hair nightly and using a silk or satin scarf to maintain moisture and eliminate frizz. Avoid exposing your hair to steam, such as during hot showers or baths, as this can cause your hair to revert.

Invest in the Right Products

We can’t say this enough, the products you use on your hair really MATTER!  The Bumble and Bumble Curl Defining Cream is perfect for retaining moisture and defining curls without adding weight. Pair this with their Heat Shield Blow Dry Accelerator to protect your hair from heat styling and keep it sleek.
