9 winter hair essentials

This mask will moisturise brittle strands that have been exposed to the ever drying, winter chill. Use weekly as an intensive treatment, or for particularly damaged locks, every second wash.

A good hair oil is the perfect solution to counteract dry, frizzy strands. This one will penetrate deep into the hair strand to minimise frizz, restore shine, and leave locks soft and silky. Plus, its small size means it fits easily in your handbag for on-the-go touch ups.

Thanks to extreme weather conditions and heated air conditioning, our hair tends to be far more damaged in winter. Enter Pantene’s treatment program, which contains three ampoules that will intensely condition the hair and replenish lost moisture. Use once a week for three weeks and watch your damaged locks transform to soft, silky strands.

Much like your makeup, it’s a good idea to change your hair care routine with the seasons. This shampoo & conditioner duo is your go-to during winter: it will lock in moisture, keep fly-aways at bay, and ensure hair is left super soft. With a delicious tropical scent, it transports you to an island somewhere (even though you’re probably just at home with the heater on full blast). 

Chances are you’re heat styling your hair pretty regularly during winter. Not only is it impossible leave your hair damp when it’s cold outside, but dry, chilly temperatures often leave locks frizzy and hard to manage. This heat spray will protect against heat damage and also leave the hair shiny.

Layering on jumpers, scarves and beanies may keep you warm, but doing so can also leave locks somewhat knotty. This paddle brush will easily detangle the hair, and is ideal for long, thick locks. 

It’s hard to commit to washing, drying and styling your hair on the best of days, let alone when it’s freezing outside. This dry shampoo will help extend your wash, so you can stay cosy in bed for an hour longer. 

Unfortunately dry, chilly air means dry, frizzy locks. This treatment will calm unruly hair, and contains a climate control factor to keep hair smooth in all weather conditions.

If your skin and hair become dry in winter, chances are your scalp does too. Give your head some much-needed love by using this oil before washing your hair. It will help soothe, hydrate and rebalance a dry scalp.
