Winter Haircare Tips: How to Help Nourish a Dry Scalp and Protect Your Hair This Season

During the winter months, when central heating is constantly on and shower temperatures creep higher, both your hair and scalp can start to suffer. A dry scalp can quickly lead to itching and flaking, while hair often feels more dry, brittle and prone to breakage.

Just like your skincare routine, your winter haircare routine needs a few seasonal tweaks. Investing in the right nourishing hair products can help protect the scalp, restore moisture, and keep your hair looking healthy, shiny and manageable all season long.

Below are our top winter haircare tips to keep your hair and scalp in great condition.

 

1. Nourish Your Hair with a Gentle Shampoo

The foundation of healthy winter hair starts in the shower. We recommend switching to a sulphate-free shampoo, as sulphates can strip the scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.

Our Good Life Shampoo is sulphate-free and enriched with Green Tea Extract, which is known to help nourish the scalp, protect hair cells from damage, and promote healthier-looking hair.

Winter Haircare Tip: Turning the shower temperature down slightly when washing your hair helps prevent natural oils from being stripped away, keeping both your scalp and lengths more hydrated.

 

2. Treat Your Scalp to a Deep Nourishing Oil Treatment

Cold weather is the perfect excuse to show your scalp some extra love. A scalp oil remedy can help soothe dryness, improve circulation and restore moisture.

Apply a generous amount of Spoilt For Choice Hair Oil directly to your scalp, section by section. Gently massage it into the scalp and roots, then pop on a shower cap. The natural heat from your head will warm the oil, allowing it to penetrate more deeply and nourish the scalp.

Leave the treatment on for at least one hour (or longer if you can), then wash out thoroughly, we recommend shampooing twice, and style as usual.

Much like skincare, a consistent winter haircare regime can make a huge difference to overall hair and scalp health.

 

3. Tame Flyaways and Combat Winter Hair Frizz

Winter weather is notorious for wind, rain, static and dreaded hat hair. Keeping the Flyaway Kit in your bag is the perfect on-the-go solution for smoothing and taming unruly strands.

Use it to:

• Smooth flyaways throughout the day

• Tame windswept hair

• Refresh your style after wearing hats or scarves

It’s a true everyday hair hero during the colder months.

 

4. Smooth the Cuticle for Shine and Definition

While air-drying can work beautifully in summer, winter weather often makes it harder to pull off. Wind and rain can leave hair looking less polished than you’d like.

Spending a little extra time on styling can make all the difference. Apply My Nanna’s Mousse, then use a round brush and a hairdryer with a nozzle attachment to smooth the hair cuticle. This helps lock in moisture, reduce frizz, and deliver longer-lasting shine and definition.

Styling Tip: Winter is the ideal time to book in for a New Year trim. Removing split, dry and brittle ends now will improve your overall hair health and set your hair up for a great year ahead.
