Cold weather can be tough on hair. Between dry air, hats, and indoor heat, winter often leads to breakage, frizz, and dullness. Avoid these common winter hair care mistakes—and keep hair healthy all season long.
1. Skipping Moisture 🧴
Winter air strips moisture from hair, making it dry and brittle. Skipping conditioner or treatments can lead to breakage.
✔ Try:
-
Redken All Soft Shampoo & Conditioner to restore moisture and softness
-
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate 5-Minute Liquid Mask once a week for deeper repair
2. Washing Hair Too Often 🧼
Over-washing removes the natural oils that protect hair during colder months. This can leave hair feeling dry and weak.
✔ Try:
-
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo to gently cleanse while strengthening damaged hair
3. Turning the Heat Up Too High 🥵
Hot showers and excessive heat styling can dry hair out even more in winter.
✔ Try:
-
Using Redken One United All-In-One Multi-Benefit Treatment for heat protection and hydration
-
Adding Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment before heat styling
4. Ignoring Split Ends ✂️
Dry winter conditions make split ends worse. Waiting too long between trims can cause damage to travel up the hair shaft.
✔ Try:
-
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Bandage Balm to smooth, seal, and protect split ends between appointments
5. Forgetting Scalp Care 💆♀️
A dry, flaky scalp is common in winter and often overlooked.
6. Wearing Hats Without Protection 🧢
Hats can cause friction, static, and breakage during winter months.
✔ Try:
-
Applying Redken All Soft Moisture Restore Leave-In Treatment or Hair Bandage Balm before heading out to reduce friction and dryness
✨ Healthy winter hair starts with the right habits—and the right products. Ask your student stylist which Redken products are best for YOUR hair needs this season.
