It’s a well-known fact that cold weather wreaks havoc with your complexion, but did you know that it also causes hair damage? If you’ve ever struggled to brush your hair post-wash because it resembles straw or it looks dull and lacklustre however you’ve tried to style it on a morning, you’ll understand our pain. Sigh.

The solution? You need to learn how to keep hair hydrated and healthy this winter and beyond. (Your wish is our command!)

How to Keep Hair Hydrated and Healthy in Cold Weather

Why Does Hair Get Dehydrated?

We spoke to wellness expert Deborah Mitchell from Heaven Skincare to get her tips on how to care for your hair in cold weather.

Deborah explains: “You may notice that your hair looks more flat than fabulous right now. This is because as temperatures drop so do moisture levels, which means the air at this time of the year is much drier than in the summer.

This dries out your hair, leaving it feeling brittle and looking dehydrated. Because of this, you might also suffer split ends and hair loss.”

How can we fix this so that our locks feel healthy and look shiny again? Apparently, we need to adapt our current hair routines for cold weather.

How to Keep Hair Hydrated: 7 Expert Tips

Alongside including products in your daily beauty routine that protect and rehydrate, there are some other things you can do to boost the condition of your hair and get that bounce back.

1. Use a Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner

The first step in understanding how to keep hair hydrated is to look at your current haircare routine. Some ingredients that are commonly used in hair products can actually dry your hair out.

A moisturising shampoo and conditioner combo can remedy this, working together to restore and revitalise your hair’s natural beauty. And who says that this combo has to break the bank?

We’re loving Garnier’s Nourishing Blends Banana Shampoo, Banana Conditioner and 3-in-1 Hair Mask (*) that actively nourish all hair types, whether you’re rocking thick curls or have straighter, thinner tresses.

This range is filled with natural ingredients to moisturise your hair while being free from sulphates and silicones, which are two ingredients that can dehydrate your hair. Unless you want dull and tangled locks, it’s best to avoid them in your routine, especially if you have dry or damaged hair.

2. Invest in a Hair Repairing Oil

Every time you wash your hair, use a towel to eliminate excess dampness. Then apply a repairing oil through the ends to lock in hydration.

You can even leave a repairing oil on overnight for an indulgent treat while you sleep. Just remember to give yourself enough time to wash it out in the morning!

Look for a product that contains keratin, in particular, as this is a key protein that actively repairs damaged hair. Given that your hair is made up of 95% keratin, it can help to strengthen and moisturise your hair too, which is important for keeping your hair in top condition.

We’re fans of Moroccanoil’s Original Hair Treatment (*) because it doesn’t just infuse the hair with hydration. It also has a frizz-defying formula which will keep your mane looking sleek for days. Not to mention, it smells amazing, which is a must for us when it comes to haircare products.

3. Take Omega-3 Supplements

When it comes to how to keep your hair hydrated, it isn’t just about what you put on your hair. It’s about what you put in your body too. A healthy, balanced diet is absolutely essential when it comes to healthy, hydrated hair.

If you take supplements that are rich in omega-3, it won’t be long before you notice a difference in both your skin and hair’s hydration levels. Simply put, omega-3 naturally puts the good fatty acids back into your body. It regulates oil production to ultimately boost the moisture in your hair.

Omega-3 also has other health benefits that go beyond your hair and scalp. It’s great for helping with hair growth and strength, as well as nourishing your hair follicles.

The good news is that you usually only need to take one supplement per day for it to have a significant effect. Alternatively, the other way to get your omega-3 boost is to include lots of oily fish in your diet.

4. Stay Hydrated

One of the best ways to keep your hair, scalp and skin hydrated is to drink plenty of water throughout the day. This helps to prevent a dry, itchy scalp and dandruff — both of which can contribute to (and be caused by) dry hair. It can even keep split ends and brittle hair at bay.

Other benefits of getting enough water include:

  • Keeping your body healthy, hydrated and balanced
  • Improving brain function
  • Increasing energy levels
  • Aiding with weight loss
  • Helping you to sleep better

Six to eight glasses of water are recommended per day, but this can come from your food and other healthy drinks too.

How to Keep Hair Hydrated - Drink Water

5. Turn Down The Heat

Newsflash: heat can be super damaging for your hair and dry it out, causing dullness. This goes for all types of heat, including straighteners, blow dryers and heat stylers.

To combat this, try to use a heat protecting spray before you apply any kind of heat to your hair, such as the Bumble and Bumble Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist (*). In addition, keep up with your hair masks and treatments whenever you plan to style your tresses with heat.

6. Apply a Hair Mask at Least Once a Week

Just like a repairing oil, a hair mask has intense hydrating properties. However, unlike a repairing oil, you can apply a hair mask to the roots which nourishes them and prevents them from weakening.

Ideally, you should use a mask once or twice per week to give your hair a deep conditioning treatment. If you have thin hair, you can also buy certain versions that will add much-needed volume to your mane.

Lots of people swear by the entire Olaplex range (*) for rejuvenation and to promote healthy hair growth. Their highly concentrated reparative 4-in-1 mask (*) adds shine, body and intense moisture.

Whichever variety you decide to go for, if you use a hair mask just once per week, you’ll soon start to see a positive change. Often, sticking with a consistent routine is one of the best ways to see those all-important hydration results.

7. Drink Green Tea

Still wondering how to keep your hair hydrated? If you’ve tried all of the above and are still struggling with flat, lacklustre hair, start drinking green tea.

Having regular cups of green tea can be super beneficial for your body because of the ingredients you’re consuming. Green tea is rich in:

  • Vitamin C — This helps to keep your body hydrated by encouraging you to drink more water during the day, which is essential for a healthy body, mind and hair.
  • Antioxidants Like Vitamin E — These are found in certain types of green tea. They help to protect hair from damage and improve the health of both your scalp and your ends.
  • Polyphenols — There’s a whole host of studies that link this ingredient to sleek, shiny and voluminous locks.

(We’ll put the kettle on.)

Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

How to Keep Hair Hydrated Moving Forwards

Dry hair can be difficult to manage in the cold months. Not to mention, it looks dull and lacklustre, which isn’t ideal when you have a full social calendar. Right?

That’s why it’s important to incorporate as many of these tips into your weekly hair routine as possible — and not just for the winter. If you stick to them consistently, you will have a hydrated, soft and shiny mane all year round. (Happy dance!)

Courtyard strollin’… (Looking for my next cup Courtyard strollin’…
(Looking for my next cup of coffee or glass of sangria — it all depends on the time of day!) 😉☕️🍹
This cute courtyard was in the middle of Palma city. The architecture and restaurants huddled in the square with al fresco drinking and dining instantly transported me back to Italy.
It reminded me of past cruise ship holidays with my parents where we visited the likes of Naples, Capri, Rome, Florence and Pisa and we would be in awe of the charm and beauty of these places.
But this post is about Palma in Majorca. 🇪🇸
Palma itself is a delight!
There’s so much going on in the centre, so much life and hustle and bustle, which is refreshing to experience after over two years of lockdowns and travel restrictions. 😅
I enjoyed our leisurely peruse of the city, soaking up the sun and seeing historic sights such as The Cathedral of Santa Maria, which dates back to 1601.
We even spent some time getting lost amongst the cobbled backstreets, popping in and out of shops before we regained our bearings once again. 😍
Our day in Palma reminded me how much I love exploring and how much travelling makes me feel fulfilled.
You just can’t beat it, right? ❤️
I already can’t wait for my next European city break (which hasn’t even been booked yet!).
What are some of your fave European cities? 👇🏻

One of my all-time favourite travel fashion pieces is the blue denim “mom-style” shorts.
You know, the relaxed-fit and high-waisted type that go with just about anything? 😉
You can pair them with a strappy top and sandals or flip flops for those warm summer days.
Or you can take them from day to night by swapping the strappy top for a chic blouse or cropped shirt and the flat sandals or flip flops for heels.
They’re just so comfy and cute! J’adore. ❤️
These ones are from @marksandspencerfashionpr which I’ll link via the @shop.LTK app along with some similar options.

I lived in mine for my most recent trip to Majorca - even throwing them on over a bikini with a kaftan for those lazy pool days. ✌🏻

That post-holiday feeling! You know, when you lan That post-holiday feeling!
You know, when you land after a few days in the sun and you feel refreshed, recharged and ready to take on the world again. 🙌🏻
And it helps if you travel in comfy clothes.
Plane, train and bus rides can be time-consuming (and stressful when things go wrong) so comfy travel gear makes the journey that little bit more bearable. ✈️ 
I’m currently loving lounge sets to travel in, such as this “Bon Voyage” lemon number from @lornaluxe x @inthestyle . 🍋
You can still get your hands on the shorts but, unfortunately, the sweatshirt is out of stock.
Not to worry though - I’ve linked some more pretty lounge sets to travel in via my shop on the @shop.LTK app.

You know, when the suitcase is finally packed, the plane outfit is laid out and there’s nothing left to do other than get a good night’s sleep before you head to your new destination ✨ tomorrow ✨!
(But then you’re so excited that you end up not having the best sleep! 🤦🏼‍♀️)
Are you one of those travellers who gets to the airport super early or one of those super last minute people? ✈️

I’m blue da ba dee da ba di. 🎶 Okay so I uni I’m blue da ba dee da ba di. 🎶
Okay so I unintentionally wore blue, white and black all weekend.
Outfit one was for a Betty’s brunch for the hubby’s birthday and exploring Thirsk. 👀
The blue denim dress and checked shacket combo felt a bit sixties inspired and sassy teamed with black tights and white boots.
Then outfit two was for a pub lunch and drinks with the family (hubby’s birthday celebrations part two).
I went for a blue floral top, comfy black jeggings, a blue denim shearling jacket and those white boots again. 👢
This felt more seventies rocker vibes so naturally I had to wear it with attitude!
