Hydrate Your Hair: Winter Edition

Brooklynne Gibbons • January 3, 2025

A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that 70-80% of people with eczema experience worsened symptoms during the winter.

Wintertime in Utah can wreak havoc on your hair and scalp, leaving them feeling dry, brittle, and lifeless. The cold air strips away moisture, while indoor heating systems further dehydrate your strands. Add to that the constant battle with static electricity, it's no wonder your hair suffers during these chilly months. 
 
Don’t let this scare you, with a few simple adjustments to your hair and scalp care routine, you can keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and protected all winter long. 

From the beauty professionals at Ottalaus Salon, here are their favorite tips, tricks, and products that are guaranteed to help your hair thrive during the cold!

A voluminous blowout is a timeless hairstyle that can elevate your look. With the right techniques and products, you can achieve salon-quality results at home. Start by double shampooing your hair and applying a heat protectant, hair oil, mousse, smoothing cream, and texturizing spray. Next, rough-dry your hair to 85% dry. Then, use a round brush to style your hair in sections, paying attention to the direction of the curl. Finally, set your style with hairspray and gently shake out your curls for a voluminous, effortless finish.

Summer sun and activities can damage hair, but you can keep your hair (and extensions) healthy. Avoid sunscreens with Avobenzone, which can discolor hair extensions. Opt for mineral-based sunscreens with Zinc Oxide and apply carefully to minimize contact with extensions. Chlorine can damage extensions. Pre-treat hair with masks and consider regular salon treatments for deep conditioning if you must swim with extensions. Frequent swimmers may want to take a break from extensions to avoid long-term damage.
