Optimising hair treatments in winter: how to combat frizz and dryness
Winter is a challenging time for hair. Low temperatures, humidity, wind and sudden temperature changes between indoors and outdoors can weaken the hair fibre, leading to dryness, frizz and dullness. As salon professionals, it is essential to offer effective solutions to keep hair healthy and protected during this season.
At Profesional Cosmetics, we understand the importance of adapting hair treatments to the specific needs of each season. Here is a technical guide to combating the effects of winter and optimising hair health with our Argan Oil products, formulated to nourish, moisturise and protect.
Factors affecting hair health in winter
During winter, hair is exposed to several adverse factors that can affect its health:
- Dehydration due to low temperatures: Extreme cold reduces sebum production, leaving hair dry and brittle.
- Humidity frizz: Static electricity and humidity cause hair to lose its structure and become unmanageable.
- Heat damage: Hot air indoors dehydrates the hair fibre, causing split ends and dullness.
- Sudden changes in temperature: Sudden changes from warm to cold environments weaken the hair cuticle.
Understanding these factors is key to choosing the right treatments to restore hair health and prevent problems.
Key ingredients that moisturise and protect
To effectively combat dryness and frizz during winter, it is essential to choose products formulated with highly nourishing active ingredients. Our Argan Oil line is enriched with
- Argan Oil: Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E to deeply nourish and restore elasticity.
- Abyssinian Oil: With emollient properties that provide softness without weighing down the hair.
- Avocado Oil: A source of antioxidants that strengthen the hair fibre and prevent frizz.
These ingredients work in synergy to keep hair hydrated, soft and frizz-free while providing natural, long-lasting shine.
Professional step-by-step routine for healthy hair
A proper winter hair care routine should be based on personalised treatments that repair, nourish and protect. Here is a professional protocol using the Argan Oil line:
- Gentle and nourishing cleansing with Argan Oil Shampoo
- Apply to damp hair and massage gently to activate microcirculation.
- Rinse with lukewarm water to avoid drying out.
- Repeat if necessary to remove any build-up.
- Intensive Treatment with Argan Oil Mask
- Apply to damp hair from the middle to the ends.
- Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes for deep penetration.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to seal the cuticle and lock in moisture.
- Seal and protect with Argan Oil Pure
- Apply a few drops to wet or dry hair.
- Distribute evenly to create a barrier against humidity and frizz.
- Do not rinse. Continue with the desired style.
This protocol will keep your hair nourished, protected and manageable throughout the winter season.
Home and salon care recommendations
To maintain professional treatment results, it is important to educate clients on proper home care. Some key recommendations include
- Avoid excessive heat tool use: Encourage the use of heat protectors and low temperature blow dryers.
- Brushing with appropriate tools: Use natural bristle combs to avoid static electricity.
- Regular use of conditioning treatments: Suggest the weekly use of the argan oil mask to keep the hair in optimal condition.
- Use caps made of soft materials: To protect the hair from friction and avoid mechanical breakage.
Winter can be a challenge for hair, but with the right products and a personalised care routine, it is possible to keep hair healthy, soft and manageable. The Argan Oil range from Professional Cosmetics offers a complete solution to combat dryness and frizz, guaranteeing professional results at the highest level.
Implement these treatments in your salon and offer your clients the opportunity to have flawless hair.
