1. Moisture is Key – Hydrate and Protect
• Short Hair: Shorter hair is less prone to split ends, but it still needs hydration. Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture without weighing it down.
• Medium Hair: Opt for deep conditioning treatments once a week to keep mid-length hair soft and manageable.
• Long Hair: Go for intensive hair masks to provide deep moisture to those long strands, focusing on the ends.
2. Say Goodbye to Static
• Short Hair: Short hair can be particularly prone to static. Use a light styling cream or smoothing serum to keep flyaways at bay.
• Medium Hair: Avoid plastic brushes, which can worsen static, and switch to a boar bristle brush for a smoother look.
• Long Hair: Consider using a silk or satin scarf to cover your hair when outdoors to reduce static from wool hats and scarves.
3. Handle With Care – Prevent Breakage
• Short Hair: Since shorter hair is often styled more frequently, be gentle with heat tools and keep them on a lower setting.
• Medium Hair: Use a microfiber towel to gently dry and avoid vigorous towel drying to reduce breakage.
• Long Hair: Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb and apply a leave-in detangler before brushing to minimise pulling and breakage.
4. Tame Frizz with the Right Products
• Short Hair: Short hair tends to frizz when it’s overly dry, so add a hydrating serum to your daily routine.
• Medium Hair: A smoothing cream will help keep frizz at bay without weighing down mid-length hair.
• Long Hair: Use a few drops of hair oil to tame frizz and add shine. Apply it to the ends and work your way up to avoid greasy roots.
5. Avoid Overwashing
• All Lengths: Shampooing too frequently can strip the hair of its natural oils, which are especially crucial in winter. Stick to a washing routine that lets your scalp produce its natural moisture, like every other day or every two to three days.
6. Protect Your Hair from the Cold
• All Lengths: Whenever possible, wear a hat or scarf to shield your hair from harsh, cold air. Use materials like silk or satin, or a silk scarf beneath wool or other warm fabrics, to reduce friction and protect from static.
