As the chilly weather sets in and snow begins to fall, your color-treated hair faces new challenges. Dry air, frigid winds, and the occasional snowstorm can leave your locks feeling dry, brittle, and vulnerable to fading. But don’t worry—TRU Hair Salon is here to help you protect your hair and keep your color vibrant all season long.
Why Snowy Weather Affects Color-Treated Hair
Winter weather can wreak havoc on your hair, especially if it's color-treated. Here’s why:
Cold, Dry Air: The cold air reduces moisture in your hair, leaving it dry and more prone to breakage. Color-treated hair can be particularly susceptible to this dryness, which can lead to dullness and fading.
Indoor Heating: While you’re warm indoors, the heat from your furnace or radiator can further dry out your hair, stripping away moisture and leaving your color less vibrant.
Frequent Washing: The cold weather might make you want to shower in hot water more frequently, but doing so can dry out your hair, causing your color to fade faster.
Sun Exposure: While it might seem counterintuitive, winter sun, combined with the snow’s reflection, can still cause UV damage to your color-treated hair.
How to Protect Your Color-Treated Hair from Snowy Weather
At TRU Hair Salon, we specialize in organic hair care that protects and nurtures your hair all year round. Follow these tips on how to help preserve and protect your color-treated hair during the snowy weather season:
1. Hydrate Your Hair
Color-treated hair tends to be drier, and winter weather can make it worse. Hydration is key to keeping your hair healthy and vibrant. Use a nourishing, sulfate-free shampoo like OWAY Color Protection Hair Bath to help lock in moisture and protect your color. This organic product gently cleanses while providing the necessary hydration your color-treated hair craves.
2. Deep Condition Regularly
A good deep conditioning treatment is your best friend during the winter months. OWAY Color Protection Hair Mask is a fantastic product to keep your hair soft, smooth, and shiny while preserving the longevity of your color. Apply it once a week for deep nourishment and protection against the harsh winter elements.
3. Use a Leave-In Conditioner
A leave-in conditioner can work wonders for color-treated hair, helping it stay hydrated and protected throughout the day. A great leave in conditioner we recommend would be OWAY'S No Rinse Moist Conditioner. It's great for hydrating and softening hair without weighing it down!
4. Avoid Hot Water
As tempting as it is to wash your hair with hot water, it can strip your hair of moisture and fade your color faster. Opt for lukewarm or cool water when washing and conditioning your hair to preserve its vibrancy and lock in moisture.
5. Minimize Heat Styling
While you may want to heat style your hair to combat the winter frizz, excessive heat can damage your color-treated strands. If you do style your hair with heat, make sure to apply a heat protectant like OWAY'S Thermal Detangling Cloud, Oway Nurturing Drops, or Oway's Smoothing Fluid before styling to minimize damage and color fading.
6. Protect Your Hair Outdoors
The cold, dry air outside can quickly zap moisture from your color-treated hair. Protect it by wearing a hat or scarf, especially if you’ll be outside for an extended period of time. This will help shield your hair from the elements and reduce the risk of breakage and dryness.
7. Stay on Top of Regular Touch-Ups
Even the best products can’t completely prevent your color from fading over time. Regular touch-ups are essential to keeping your hair vibrant. At TRU Hair Salon, we offer custom color services that are tailored to your hair needs. Our expert stylists will ensure your color stays fresh and beautiful all winter long.
