Winter Hair Care Tips

In addition to using these fantastic products, here are a few tips from the Moler Beauty Academy team to keep your hair healthy during the winter months:

1. Avoid Hot Showers

As tempting as it may be, hot water can strip your hair of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water when washing your hair to maintain moisture levels.

2. Don’t Skip Conditioner

Conditioning your hair is crucial in the winter. Even if you skip shampooing for a day, make sure to condition your ends to keep them moisturized and prevent breakage.

3. Use a Humidifier

Indoor heating can suck the moisture out of the air, leaving your hair (and skin) dry. A humidifier can help restore moisture to the air, which will benefit your hair’s overall health.

4. Trim Your Hair Regularly

Cold weather can make your ends more prone to splitting. Regular trims every 6-8 weeks can prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.

5. Protect Your Hair From the Elements

When you’re out in the cold, cover your hair with a hat or scarf to protect it from wind, snow, and freezing temperatures.
