We all know the struggle of trying to keep our hair smooth and healthy throughout the colder months – but how do we actually stop it from drying out or getting frizzy? We asked the stylists at London’s coolest hair salon Blue Tit a few questions on how to maintain beautiful damage-free hair even in winter…
My hair always goes static in winter. How do I stop this?
Hair goes static in winter due to a combination of cold air, low humidity and wearing lots of different materials that rub together. So make sure you dry and style your hair properly before putting your clothes on. I would recommend using a replumping shampoo and conditioner, which will give elasticity and moisture. Finish the look with hairspray for extra hold.” – Angelica, stylist at Blue Tit Brixton.
How do I prevent my hair from drying out in winter?
Firstly, it’s a good idea to talk to your stylist, who can prescribe you a good quality shampoo and conditioner that caters exactly to your hair type. My personal favourites are Davines Nourishing Shampoo and Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner. The shampoo is a miracle-worker on dry scalps, while the conditioner is rich and creamy for dehydrated mid-lengths and ends.” – Ash, stylist at Blue Tit Dalston.
How do I stop my hair looking dull and lifeless in winter?
Try the Oi All In One Milk – this is one of my favourite products and it’s brilliant for all hair types. It will pack your hair with the moisture it needs and add body without weighing your hair down. This product really does have it all!” – Imogen, stylist at Blue Tit Clapton.
How can I style my hair without really drying it out in winter?
While your hair is wet, apply the Oi Non Oil to the mid lengths and ends to help retain that moisture in the hair, as well as Melu Hair Shield as a heat protector. Let it dry naturally if you don’t want to use too much heat, then use a set of straighteners to create beach waves or bouncy curls.” – Chris, stylist at Blue Tit Crouch Hill.
What are the best in-salon treatments to condition my hair?
Olaplex is a great conditioning treatment for all hair types, it will transform anyone’s hair for the better! We also have some really good treatments at Blue Tit; simply book in at any of our salons and the stylists will be able to find the right treatment to cater for what your hair really needs this winter.” – Angelica, stylist at Blue Tit Brixton
