A high thermostat may make your house feel warm, but it will zap moisture from the air and your hair. However, there are a few things you can do to help dry hair stay hydrated even in the bone-dry interiors, aside from resisting the impulse to set your thermostat to 80 degrees…
Three moisturizing tips for winter hair care.
While you sleep, turn down the heat.
Simply lowering your temperature while sleeping will make the air far less drying on your skin, scalp, and hair and will provide the perfect excuse to get out your coziest, hygge-approved comforter. Plus, you’ll save money on your heating bill and assist the environment!
Use a humidifier.
Keeping a humidifier on your nightstand will not only assist preserve moisture in the air and make it easier for you to breathe throughout cold and flu season. In addition, the moisturizer will make your skin feel less dry and provide humidity to your hair, making moisturizers and conditioners more receptive to skin and hair.
Rinse with cooler water.
A scorching hot shower may be attractive when it’s cold outside, but the hotter the water, the more drying it is for skin and hair. While we wouldn’t recommend showering with ice-cold water, maintain water temps mild rather than hot, and rinse shampoo and conditioner out of your hair with the coolest water you can stand. Cold water effectively closes the hair cuticle, resulting in hair that is healthier, shinier, and stronger. On the other hand, hot water removes moisture from the hair shaft, resulting in frizz, which no one wants in the winter. A new year means a fresh approach to moisturizing.
Jumpstart a new hair care routine.
Just as you put on your sweaters, leather boots, and velvet shirts and put away your flip-flops for the winter, your hair requires a makeover as well.
Your winter hair care cheat sheet
Introduce your hair to natural oils.
Winters Hair Care, As the weather cools, this is the ideal time to start applying products with hydrating natural components. To help hydrate and keep dry, frizzy hair at bay, look for sulfate-free hair products that have hydrating components like keratin, argan oil, and mongongo oil.
Shampoo less often.
Because the mornings are getting darker later, it’s the perfect time to sleep in a few minutes longer and forego your daily wash and conditioner. Save your strands by going a day without washing your hair. And using a little dry shampoo in the meantime (no one will ever know).
Use a leave-in conditioner

Kick your heat styling habits.
Cutting back on heat styling can be difficult if you use a blow dryer every day and a curling iron every night. However, because heat style zaps moisture from your hair, resulting in dry, brittle hair strands and breakage, it’s worth a try.
If air drying isn’t an option, limit the usage of hot equipment to once or twice each week (your strands will thank you). If you decide to utilize heat tools, make sure to select products that will nourish and protect your hair from environmental stressors. Make sure any style products you use are suitable for color-treated hair and provide UV and environmental protection.
Throw in the towel.
Instead of your usual terry cloth towel, grab a microfiber cloth towel as you get out of the shower. The AQUIS rapid-drying towel is one of our favorites! Microfiber towels are gentler on the Winters Hair Care cuticle. Keep your scalp from drying out, and absorb moisture faster than traditional cotton towels.
That means you’ll get a speedier blow dry. This means your hair will be exposed to less heat, resulting in fewer split ends and breakage.
