How to Keep Your Curls Hydrated in Winter

Winter curls can be tough. The cold air outside, dry indoor heat, and frequent changes in temperature can leave curls dry, frizzy, and lacking definition. But with a few intentional steps, you can maintain hydrated, healthy, and bouncy curls all winter long.

Complete Wash Day: Hydration Is Key

The foundation of healthy winter curls starts with a full wash day. Focus on getting water deep into each curl strand and sealing it in with the right products. When your curls are fully hydrated and sealed, they’re less prone to frizz and breakage.

In-Salon Conditioning Treatments

Winter is the perfect time to invest in an in-salon conditioning treatment. Treatments in the salon help rebuild moisture, repair dry strands, and prepare your hair for the season. Your curls will feel soft, springy, and healthy — and the results last beyond a single wash day.

Use a Humidifier

Indoor heat can dry out hair as much as the cold outdoors. Placing a humidifier in your bedroom keeps the air moist, helping your curls stay hydrated and your sinuses happy too. Bonus: your curls will retain definition overnight!

Protect Your Hair Outdoors

When the weather is extreme — think snow, wind, or bitter cold — cover your curls with hats or scarves. This reduces exposure to harsh elements and prevents hair from drying out or breaking.
