Winter Hair Care
Winter can cause havoc with your hair. So I thought it would be a good idea to put together some really helpful tips for winter hair care which you can follow with the minimum of fuss. If you are looking for some top tips on skincare. I’d recommend having a look at Leyla from Motherhood Diaries’s Body Shop Skincare guide. If you’ve got long hair, like me, take a look at this post about long hair that you are sure to identify with.
Static
This can be super annoying in winter. All that putting on and taking off of layers can give it a real stand up look. Some simple changes to your routine can really help. Using a designed to combat static can really help. There’s also some pretty good anti-static hair products out there too.
Dry hair
If you are suffering with dry, dull hair. Why not put some honey on it. Cover it with a towel and leave it for around 30 mins? The honey helps bring back the shine and can lock in the oils your hair needs to stop it from drying out. Also never leave the house with wet hair. This will also dry it out. Take a few minutes to give it a blow dry and style before you leave the house. The eye-catching and lightweight hairdryer from mdlondon is a really good choice if you are looking for a tried and tested hairdryer that’s used by professionals. You should also reduce the amount of times a week you wash your hair. Two or three times a week if you can get away with it will be enough. That way you aren’t over washing and drying it out by keep washing away the good oils.
Thinning hair
It has been rumoured that thinning hair can be prevented by massaging your scalp and hair with olive oil. You could also try out a supplement to see if that could help your hair look thicker and more nourished; if this sounds like something you are interested in exploring, you could check out this KeraNew review to learn more about one of the options available to you on the market. If you are looking for a more permanent solution you could consider advanced tricho pigmentation which can really help to create the illusion of thicker hair.
Cover Up
One of the easiest and quickest winter hair care tips is to wear a hat. This will protect your hair from the elements like wind and rain. I find that wearing a hair gives me a bad fringe and makes my hair greasy quicker, so maybe not a solution you can implement if you want to have the best looking hair immediately after wearing that hat!
Conditioner
The best piece of advice I can give to you is to condition your hair regularly. This will help protect your hair from the elements and also will help stop your hair drying out and then the inevitable frizz. Conditioner works even better if you leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse it out with cold water.
I hope my winter hair care tips have helped. If you are looking for some ideas how to take care of your body, you could take a peek at fellow blogger Georgina’s recommendations of Body Care Brands to Try. There are some real gems in here.

Some great advice! Thanks for joining in with #TuesdayTreasures xxx
Thanks Rachel.
My hair is really suffering at the moment because of the cold. It’s not usually dry but it keeps snapping, probably because I never condition it! #stayclassymama
Ooh, rush to the shops and get yourself some conditioner! It’s way too cold for hair at the moment.
Really useful list! I think wearing a hat and using loads of conditioner are the key points for my hair! Haha thanks so much for sharing these helpful tips loving your blog! thanks for sharing with #stayclassymama
Conditioner is a must. I use it all year round. I can’t even brush my hair if I don’t.
Fab tips on winter hair care and I completely second getting that hat on during windy spells. Also, plaiting away long hair is a lifesaver in this weather. Thanks so much for sharing with the #DreamTeam.
I can’t live without my leave-in conditioner especially during these colder months. I usually keep my hair in a messy bun. So easy and low maintenance. 🙂 #DreamTeam
Me too. I love a messy bun, especially if it’s teemed with a plait.
I use sooo much conditioner. lol. Wearing a hat is a must, i want to protect my mane from damage and keep my ears warm! Thanks for sharing!

Me too! Conditioner is a must for keeping me tangle free.
Great tips – I wash my hair far too often and I think I need to cut down a bit.
Thanks for linking up to #AnythingGoes 🙂

I only wash mine 2 – 3 times a week and it looks relatively healthy most of time, especially as I both dye it and use straighteners. The ends are always a bit dry though.
Love the honey idea! This time of year with the heat running constantly in the house, my hair takes a beating. Honey is way cheaper than a lot of other moisturizing treatments. Can’t wait to try it!

It is, isn’t it? I think there’s a few reasonably priced food items that are good for your hair. Winter is so tough on it.
My roots look oily and my tips are dry.. I’m always trying to figure out how to maintain healthy hair. These are great tips! Love the honey idea! #anythinggoes
Have you tried dry shampoo in between? I’ve heard it does wonders.
I have extremly dry hair, probably due to hair colors I’ve been using..So, I’ll try with honey:) I have long hair and really don’t want to cut them, so I hope it helps! 3AnythingGoes
Mine can be like that too. I have long hair that I highlight and use straighteners on, so it can dry out. I find a regular intensive conditioner can help too.
