Dry hair in winter: 6 tips to keep your hair soft and hydrated ❄️

Winter can take a toll on our hair! Between the cold, indoor heating and the friction caused by winter clothing, our hair often becomes drier, duller, and harder to style.

But why does hair become drier in winter? And more importantly, how can you preserve its softness and hydration despite the freezing temperatures?

Discover our 6 tips for taking care of your hair during the cold season!

Why does hair become drier in winter?

During winter, the outdoor air generally contains less moisture, and indoor heating increases the dryness of the environment. These conditions can promote the dehydration of the hair fiber, especially when hair is already porous or sensitized.

In addition, the friction from beanies, scarves, and coats can weaken the cuticle, promote frizz, and increase the risk of breakage. Dry air also promotes static electricity, making hair harder to style.

The solution? Adapt your hair care routine to preserve hydration and limit mechanical damage.

1. Adopt a hydrating wash routine

The first step begins in the shower! Choose products that gently cleanse while promoting softness and suppleness.

The ROYAL Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner Duo is ideal for normal to dry hair. Together, they cleanse, detangle, and soften the hair while helping to preserve its hydration.

ROYAL tip: Avoid water that is too hot, as it can accentuate the feeling of dryness.

2. Give your hair an extra treatment

During winter, the lengths may need a little extra attention.

The ROYAL Hydrating Mask is an excellent addition to your routine. It helps improve the softness, suppleness, and appearance of dry hair while making it easier to detangle.

ROYAL tip: Incorporate a hydrating mask about once a week, depending on your hair's needs.

3. Reduce friction during the night

Did you know that the friction between your hair and your pillow can promote tangles, frizz, and breakage?

Thanks to its soft and smooth surface, the ROYAL Satin Pillowcase allows hair to glide more easily during sleep, thus limiting mechanical friction.

ROYAL tip: Tie your hair in a loose braid or use a satin scrunchie to further limit tangles.

4. Swap your traditional towel for microfiber

After washing, wet hair is particularly sensitive to rough handling.

The ROYAL Microfiber Towel effectively absorbs excess water while limiting friction on the hair fiber. It thus helps reduce frizz and the risk of breakage caused by friction.

ROYAL tip: Gently wrap your hair in the towel for 5 to 15 minutes, without ever rubbing it vigorously.

5. Take care of your lengths between washes

Dry air and temperature fluctuations can make the lengths rougher and harder to style.

The ROYAL 10-in-1 Leave-In Treatment helps make detangling easier and preserve the hair's softness. Complete your routine with a few drops of ROYAL Hydrating Oil, a finishing oil that helps preserve the hydration of the lengths while adding suppleness and shine.

ROYAL tip: Apply your leave-in treatment before the finishing oil, focusing on the ends.

6. Limit excessive heat

Repeated use of high-temperature heat tools can weaken the cuticle and accentuate the dryness of the hair fiber.

Opt for gentle drying, avoid repeated passes with a flat iron, and always detangle your hair gently, starting with the ends.

ROYAL tip: Avoid going outside with wet hair when temperatures are freezing.

Taking care of your hair during winter does not require a complicated routine. A few good habits and the right products can make all the difference.
