Solving Winter Hair Woes: Pro Tips for Gorgeous, Healthy Hair
How to Solve Winter Hair Problems: Pro Tips for Healthy, Hydrated Hair
Hey—it’s winter! ❄️ This is the season when many of us notice our hair feeling drier, flatter, or even a bit staticky. Sometimes, it can even feel like your go-to shampoo has stopped working. Don’t worry—we’ve got solutions for all your winter hair challenges!
Problem #1: Hair Feels Limp and Doesn’t Stay Clean
Why It Happens:
Winter’s dry indoor air combined with cold, windy weather encourages your scalp to produce extra oil for protection. Add hats into the mix—keeping your head warm but trapping your scalp in a moist environment—and you’ve got the perfect recipe for limp locks.
Solutions:
-
Double Cleanse Your Hair
Lather, rinse, repeat! Double cleansing ensures the first wash loosens dirt and oil, while the second thoroughly cleanses and refreshes your scalp.- Pro Tip: Lift the top layer of hair like a halo and focus on lathering underneath.
- No risk of over-drying here—our shampoos smooth and soften without stripping your hair, making this method perfect for all hair types.
-
Refresh Second-Day Roots
Spritz our Patchouli Tangerine Sea Salt Texturizing Spray on roots to combat oiliness. A touch of salt absorbs excess oil while adding volume and texture. -
Clarify with the Shampoo Booster
Add the Shampoo Booster to your routine for occasional deep cleaning. It removes hard water minerals and product buildup that weigh hair down.
Problem #2: Hair Length Feels Dry
Why It Happens:
The same dry indoor air and harsh winter winds that affect your scalp can dehydrate the length of your hair, leaving it brittle and lifeless.
Solutions:
-
Try the Protected Cleanse Method
Shampoo and condition in reverse order!-
Steps:
- Wet your hair and apply conditioner from scalp to ends. Detangle with a comb.
- Rub shampoo between your hands and apply it to your scalp, focusing on oily areas.
- Rinse everything thoroughly.
- This method is especially effective with our HoneyBlossom + Marshmallow Root Shampoo + Conditioner, locking in moisture while cleansing gently.

Steps:

Pre-Shampoo Oil Treatment for Seriously Dry Hair
Apply Glossing Drops to dry hair before showering. Let it soak in, then apply shampoo directly to your dry scalp before wetting hair at all. Add water, lather, and rinse. Follow with conditioner for tangle-free, hydrated hair that’s shiny and smooth.
Problem #3: Hair Feels Staticky and Flat
Why It Happens:
Static electricity thrives in dry air, making your hair cling to your face, sweater—or stand straight up. Hats, while cozy, can also flatten your hair.
Solutions:
-
Hydrate and Style with LavenderMint Hydrating Mist.
It tames flyaways, adds shine, and reforms curls:- Lift and spray pieces for texture.
- Flip your hair upside down and spray underneath for all-over volume.
- Mist lightly and fluff for a polished look.
- Combine with the Patchouli Tangerine Sea Salt Spray to give more volume and grip if your hair is too slippery.
-
Humidify Your Space
Combat static by adding moisture to the air with a humidifier or a simmer pot. Your hair (and skin) will thank you!
Problem #4: Heat Styling Damage
Why It Happens:
During winter, many people rely on blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons to style their hair, which can cause damage over time. Combine this with the already dry winter air, and your hair may end up feeling brittle or look dull.
Solution:
Incorporate the HoneyBlossom UV+ Heat Protectant into your routine before using any heat tools. This product not only protects your hair from heat damage but also adds hydration and shine, ensuring your style looks polished while keeping your hair healthy.
- How to use: Apply a small amount to damp hair before blow-drying or directly to dry hair before using other heat tools.
