8 Winter Hair Care Tips

8 Winter Hair Care Tips

Well, it’s getting to be that time of year again, winter! Some of my friends already see cooler temperatures where they live. But it is never too soon to start preparing your hair for winter! We need to sometimes change how we do things with our hair depending on the season and where we live. So today we are talking about 8 winter hair care tips!

We live in Florida and the humidity yesterday was still 78%! So, we are not fighting the same dry air that you might be. But I grew up in Ohio and know all too well what it can be like in the winter! Our weather does change so I will need to adjust how I handle my daily hair care routine. I must be honest; I would be happy to never see snow again! Lol.

1. Change Your Hair Care Routine

Have you ever felt like your hair care routine isn’t working as well in the winter months? Well, you might be right! Depending on where you live your hair might need different things depending on the time of year. In the summer months, it is typically more humid so your hair will be getting more moisture in it from that. But during the winter months, the air is drier, you are inside more with the heat on, and it can dry your hair out. You may need to replenish the moisture back into your hair.

Talk to your hairstylist about whether or not you need different products this winter. Or I would love to help you also! I love the products that I use, I am a retired hair stylist, and you can start here by filling out a consultation form. If you have any questions, you can always contact me here.

2. Deep Condition

I deep condition my hair year-round by using a hair masque. But I typically step it up in the winter months and use a hair masque 2x a week instead of 1x. My favorite is one called Replenish Masque. During the winter months, our hair can become dry and brittle due to the dry air and being indoors a lot. Typically, hair masques will help to balance and protect your hair from the harsh winter months. It is always a good idea to choose one that will work best for your hair type and needs.

Hair masques are not like “your mom’s” hair masques. Most of them you can apply while in the shower, leave on for several minutes, and then wash out. They used to be that you needed to wash your hair, get out of the shower, put it on, and wrap your hair up. Leave it on for several hours. Not anymore! They have come a long way!

3. Oil Treatments

Another favorite thing of mine! This is a great way to help promote a healthy scalp! I did a blog post a while back, The Secret to a Healthy Scalp. You can read that here. I like to do an oil treatment the evening prior to shampooing the next morning. That way it gives it all night to hydrate & moisturize my scalp and hair. My favorite oil to use is Rejuveniqe Oil. I love it because it is a dry oil, a blend of 13+ natural plants and essential oils.

If you don’t want to do an oil treatment overnight, you can always do it during the day. Wrap your hair up in a bun or braid and throw a baseball cap or hat on! I like to do oil treatments year-round because they help promote a healthy scalp. But I do them more often in the winter months since the air is drier and our scalp & hair get drier and more brittle.

4. Lower Your Water Temperature Settings

Did you know that using hot water can have a drying effect on our hair and skin? I love a hot shower but if you are struggling with drier hair in the winter try turning down the water temperature in the shower and see if that helps!

5. Wash Your Hair Less Often

During the summer and warmer months, we tend to wash our hair more often. A lot of the time it has to do with sweating and we are doing more things outdoors. In the winter months, you may find yourself not having to wash your hair as often. You might get to go for an extra day or two! Just pay attention to what your body/scalp is telling you. Just because you are in a routine of doing it one way doesn’t mean you have to stick with it. Change is good! Lol!

I did a blog post a while back, How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?  You can read that here.

6. Use a Leave-in Conditioner

I know some people have a negative view of leave-in conditioners. And I used to be one of them! I used to think that only people with thick, coarse, and dry hair could get away with using them. But that is not the case! I use one every time I wash my hair and I have fine hair.

During the winter months if you struggle with static in your hair using a leave-in conditioner may help with this! A leave-in can sometimes give us just enough hydration that we are missing.

7. Stay Hydrated

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you can stop drinking your water daily! It is still important. Water helps to regulate our body temperature and it also helps contribute to keeping our hair and scalp looking good! Drinking water helps with hair loss, and hair fall, and helps prevent dry, brittle hair. It will also help your scalp to remain hydrated and healthy!

Another important thing to remember is to drink water throughout the day. Drinking your daily “requirement” all at once will not help you at all! Your body cannot process it and will just excrete it. So, try carrying a refillable water bottle around with you and spread it out. Yes, even in the winter!

8. Use a Humidifier

If you are going to be indoors most of the winter because it is cold and snowy, chances are the air is going to be dry. Most homes heating systems have humidifiers built into them. So, I would check to see what yours is set at. If your skin and scalp are feeling dry and itchy you might need a little more moisture in the air. The ideal setting for winter is supposed to be between 30 – 50% humidity.

If you need a boost in humidity during the winter, there are small personal humidifiers out there. A lot of people use them while they are sleeping. Too much & too little humidity in your home air is not good so try to find where your perfect spot.


So, do you change your hair care routine during the winter months? Please leave any tips you have in the comments below!

One of my favorite places to be. There is something about a palm tree that is just soothing to me, I'm not sure what it is. Pair them with the ocean and sand and life can't get much better. 
God's creations never cease to amaze me. I hope this Monday starts you off with a great week. 
Are you seeing signs of spring where you are yet? Believe it or not, our pollen is crazy right now!

Have you ever been in a situation where you don't have the right words? An arrow prayer is a quick prayer asking for guidance, help, or maybe the right words to use at the moment. 
God is always there, just waiting to be asked to help you. 🤍 Good times & bad.

I went to a luncheon last week and found the perfect dress. (At least I thought so!) Perfect for spring or summer get togethers, Easter, or even a wedding. 
You can find all of the details over on my LTK page along with a link to it. You can find that over in my profile or comment below to request it sent directly to your inbox. 
Have you found the perfect spring dress yet?

This is pretty self-explanatory but like my mom used to say, "you are like the people you surround yourself with". The best people can wind up in bad situations because they get caught up hanging out with the wrong crowd. 
It can be a fine line between wanting to help someone and getting sucked up into a bad way of living. Keeping God at the center is a good way to begin and stay on the right path. 
Happy Sunday friends 🤍

Happy Monday friends. I hope you have sunshine where you are. I think that is the best part about living in Florida, there are more sunny days than not! ☀️ Our problems just seem easier to manage when the sun is shining. It's a gift from God. 
If you are struggling today, I hope you are able to catch a few rays of sunshine to help wash them away. Remember, keep looking up. 🙏
Are you on team rainy days or sunshine?

Having a tough time lately? It's a rough world out there! I know the Bible gets a bad rap but if you take the time to read it, it actually gives you a "roadmap" on how to help live your life. You know, 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝓅𝒶𝓉𝒽 for you to follow! And Jesus was pretty clever in some of his storytelling (parables).
Just remember, you are never alone and are loved. 🤍

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐒𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬? 
I have learned over this past year that we cannot place our expectations on others. Or be disappointed when they don’t act in a way that we would. 
I have been guilty of doing this in the past. Gossiping is human nature, and we have to make a concerted effort not to participate in it. But there is gossip and then there is listening to others tell untruths about someone that isn’t correct. How can we change this in ourselves? Because it doesn’t feel great when it happens to us. And it shouldn’t feel great when you do it to someone else.
𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬 𝟏𝟔:𝟐𝟖– 𝘈 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘦; 𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘱 𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴.
When a stranger believes something that has been said about us it can be easier to not let it bother us. But when it is someone that we place value on, family or a close friend, it can sting. Often it is the people closest to us that believe lies told by the enemy. But why?
So today over on 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 we are talking about the question, why is it so easy to believe the worst in others? You can find the link in my profile! 🔗

I think I love the look of coastal decor because it is always so bright & airy. It just makes you want to smile and go either to the beach or outside to get some fresh air! ☀️
I love the front console table that we found. It has rattan doors on the front for a slight casual but polished look. This is the other lamp that goes with my set from Lamps Plus. I love the aqua/blue color. They are even prettier in person.
