5 Mistakes to Avoid in Winter to Keep Your Hair Healthy

1. Going outside with damp hair

When temperatures drop, the moisture in your hair can freeze, making the hair fiber stiffer and more prone to breakage.

The trick?

Always dry your hair completely before stepping out! Use a microfiber towel to reduce drying time and minimize the use of a hairdryer, which can further dry out your hair.

2. Using a Harsh Shampoo

A regular shampoo containing sulfates and harsh detergents can further dry out the hair fiber, especially in winter. The result? An imbalanced scalp and dull, dry hair.

The trick?

Choose a gentle, hydrating shampoo, like our organic shampoo with maple water, which cleanses delicately while preserving the scalp’s hydrolipidic barrier. The best shampoo for dry hair is one that moisturizes while protecting the hair fiber.

3. Neglecting Hair Protection

Between repeated friction from beanies and scarves, static electricity, and dry air, the hair fiber becomes weaker and more prone to breakage.

The trick?

Before putting on your beanie, apply a few pumps of our leave-in hair treatment to protect your lengths, reduce frizz, and prevent breakage. This styling product creates a protective barrier against winter aggressions.

4. Washing Your Hair Too Often

Washing your hair too frequently in winter weakens the scalp’s natural barrier, leading to dryness and irritation.

The trick?
Space out your washes and use a dry shampoo between washes to refresh the roots without damaging the lengths.

5. Forgetting Nourishing Treatments

Cold weather and dry air reduce the hair’s natural moisture, making it more vulnerable to external aggressions.

The trick?

Incorporate a hydrating hair mask into your routine once or twice a week. A good hair mask should be rich in nourishing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and maple water, all found in our Lasève nourishing mask.
