Why this worksCold weather can strip moisture from your hair, making it dry and brittle. Coloured hair requires extra care to prevent fading and maintain shine. By adapting your hair care routine to the season, you can ensure your colour stays fresh and your hair remains healthy.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Moisturise Regularly Use a hydrating conditioner and deep conditioning treatment weekly. This replenishes moisture and helps prevent colour from fading due to dryness.
  2. Limit Heat Styling Reduce the use of heat tools like straighteners and curling irons. When you do style, always apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage.
  3. Cool Water Rinse After washing, rinse your hair with cool water to seal the cuticle. This helps lock in moisture and enhances shine, making your colour pop.
  4. Use UV Protection Choose a leave-in conditioner or spray with UV protection, even in winter. This shields your hair from sun exposure, which can fade colour.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip deep conditioning in winter, thinking it's only for summer. Others forget to use heat protectant, leading to dryness. Also, rinsing with hot water can strip moisture, so avoid that.

The pro moveTry a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and keep your colour vibrant while you sleep.
