A frizz-free winter - the best strategies

19 November 2023
The cold season is back and with it a well-known problem: frizz.

DOur hair resists the dry winter air and stands out wildly in all directions. A battle against uncontrollable frizz and static charge begins.

Before we panic and pull our hats deep over our faces, let's take a closer look at this hairy dilemma while understanding the difference from another hair problem, the dreaded split ends.


Frizz: When hair has a mind of its own

Frizz is a small rebellion against winter dryness. Your hair craves moisture. When it doesn't get it, it tends to frizz up and resist. Your morning ritual suddenly becomes a battle against unruly strands.

PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH FRIZZ:

  • Not in control: Your hair has a mind of its own and styling becomes a challenge. You wonder if you'll be able to pull off a hairstyle that lasts longer than five minutes.
  • Dryness: The dry winter air drains your hair of moisture, causing it to become brittle and fragile. It's literally crying out for some extra care.
  • Static charge: In addition to being uncontrollable, frizz can also lead to statically charged hair that sticks out from your head. It then not only looks funny but can also be uncomfortable and annoying.

Split ends: The silent hair problem

Split, unlike frizz, is a quieter but no less annoying problem. It usually first shows up as split ends. This problem often occurs due to excessive mechanical stress, heat or chemical treatments. Here is more needed than just care - a good haircut.

Get frizz under control with these tips:

YOUR HAIR CARE

  • Moisture is key: Just as you reach for a warm, hydrating drink in the cold, your hair needs moisture, too. Use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to keep your hair from drying out.
  • Avoid excessive heat: Your hair is already stressed from the cold, so be careful with heat tools like straighteners and curling irons. If you can't avoid them completely, be sure to use a product with heat protection.
  • Anti-frizz products: Invest in high-quality anti-frizz products that are specifically designed for the winter months. These products help retain moisture in the hair and tame frizz.

YOUR HAIR ROUTINE:

  • Caps and headpieces: Caps are not only stylish, but also practical to protect your hair from the cold. But be careful: tight caps can cause friction and static charge. Avoid wearing caps made of coarse material, as they can roughen your hair.
  • Humidity in the air: The dry winter air not only draws moisture from your hair, but also from your skin. Use diffusers in your home to maintain humidity levels. These can help your hair release less moisture into the environment, making it less frizzy.
  • Gently dry: After washing your hair, gently pat it dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing it roughly. Use a microfiber towel to minimize roughening of the hair surface.
  • Use conditioner: Use a high-quality conditioner specifically formulated for dry hair that is prone to frizz. Apply the conditioner generously and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it out.
  • Natural oils: Oils can work wonders against frizz. Apply a few drops to the ends to condition and smooth them.
Our recommendation: Yours Truly Hair & Body Oil made from up to 100% natural ingredients is your perfect match through the cold season. For both – hair & skin.
