Want to know how to protect your hair in winter? Central heating, cold air and styling can really play havoc with hair and cause it to be dry and brittle. But with these haircare tips you can keep your hair hydrated and healthy.
Wash your hair less often
If you want to know how to protect your hair in winter, one simple trick is to wash it less. Natural oils provide a protective layer between your scalp and hair and washing removes some of these essential oils. Bridge the gap between washes – and avoid looking greasy – by using dry shampoo.

Go easy with the hairdryer
Going out with damp or wet hair is definitely a big no-no in winter, but using a hairdryer to dry hair can actually make it dryer. Make sure you use a low heat setting and a heat protection product before styling for gorgeous, healthy hair.
Hydrate
Invest in some moisturising shampoo and conditioner and give hair a boost with a weekly hair mask or deep conditioning treatment.
Wear a hat
Keep hair protected from the cold with a beanie. Just make sure hair is totally dry before you put the hat on or expect some funky new hairstyle when you take it off!

TIP 1: PROTECT HAIR AT HOME
Use a hair mask to hydrate and reduce hair breakage and choose a volumising shampoo to make hair appear fuller. Apply from the middle of your head down to the ends to prevent flatness. Don’t forget to use heat protecting products when styling hair with straighteners, curlers and hairdryers, too.
TIP 2: LOOK AFTER COLOUR
Dying your hair can make it weaker, so be sure to wash it with colour-safe shampoo and conditioner - opt for ones that contain keratin as it makes chemically-treated hair stronger
