Cold winter weather is so rough on our skin, but it also wreaks havoc on our hair. The combination of cold temperatures outside and warm temperatures inside sucks the moisture out of our hair–which is the worst! During the winter it is a must that we all give our hair some serious TLC.
The Best Products For Dry Brittle Winter Hair:
The Budget Gem: Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy Intense Hydration Treatment Mask ($5) This mask targets dullness and dryness with a blend of cactus extract and almond and coconut oils that nourish the scalp, leading to healthier (and shinier) strands.
To Help You Throw Shade (In a Good Way): dpHUE Shade ($24) If your hair color has been especially lackluster lately, try this color-enriching, deep-conditioning treatment from dpHUE. Like a hair mask, it will leave your strands soft and shiny—but that’s not all. With a dose of semi-permanent color, it’ll enhance your hair color and leave it as vibrant as it was when you first left the salon.
A Balm-to-Serum Miracle Worker: Kérastase Elixir Ultime Serum Solide ($43) This treatment starts off as a solid balm that melts into a serum and contains an all-star lineup of 15 nourishing, shine-enhancing oils. Use it to instantly make split ends disappear, or apply it before bedtime for a luxe overnight mask.
The Deep Hydrator : L’Oréal OleoTherapy Deep Recovery Mask ($9) This sulfate-free drugstore buy puts an end to crunchy, dry ends with a blend of six flower oils and a balm-like texture that transforms into a replenishing oil mask.
The Lightweight Nourisher: Nelson j Beverly Hills Argan Oil 7 Moisture Healing Mask ($20) Not only does this hair mask smell like heaven in a tub (the coconut version, especially), but it’s filled with nourishing argan oil to repair your strands and leave them silky, shiny, and smooth—without weighing them down.
The Luxurious Shine-Inducer: Oribe Gold Lust Transformative Masque ($62) This hair cuticle-strengthening mask contains too many replenishing ingredients to list here; standouts are the brand’s signature complex of watermelon, lychee, and edelweiss flower extracts, which protect hair from elemental stress and damage, and a hydrating complex of shea butter, jasmine extract, and antioxidant-rich baobab oil.
For Coarser Strands: Phyto Huile Supreme ($40) This intensely hydrating hair oil was created with thick, coarse hair in mind. Macadamia and roucou oils soften hair and protect it from further damage, and botanical squalane makes hair super shiny and bouncy.
The Nourishing Hair Oil: Redken Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine ($40) Hair oils can be too heavy for fine hair. This one from Redken is intensely conditioning with a blend of polymers and natural oils (apricot, coriander, and sunflower among them), all while being light enough that it won’t weigh down even the finest strands.
To Heal Damage: Weleda Oat Replenishing Treatment ($13) Oats make for so much more than a filling breakfast. The extract is a replenishing treatment for hair, especially when combined with coconut oil, shea butter, and sea buckthorn oil.
