How To Protect Your Strands in Winter
As the temperature drops and winter sets in, it's essential to give your hair some extra TLC to combat the harsh effects of the season.
At Koko Blaq, we understand the importance of keeping your locks healthy and vibrant, even in the coldest months. In this blog post, we'll share our top tips for protecting your strands during winter and ensuring they stay nourished and resilient.
Our Top Tips To Protect Your Hair In Winter
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
During winter, indoor heating systems can wreak havoc on your hair, sucking out moisture and leaving it dry and brittle. That's why it's crucial to prioritise hydration and moisture retention.
Start by incorporating hydrating treatments into your hair care routine, such as deep conditioning masks and leave-in conditioners. These products will help replenish lost moisture and keep your locks soft and supple.
Embrace Keratin Smoothing
Say goodbye to winter frizz and hello to sleek, manageable hair with a Keratin Smoothing Treatment. This revolutionary treatment is a game-changer for combating frizz and making styling a breeze, even in the most challenging winter conditions.
By infusing keratin deep into the hair cuticle, this treatment eliminates frizz, smooths out texture, and adds incredible shine to your locks. Not only does it make your hair more manageable, but it also reduces styling time and helps protect your strands from environmental damage.
With a Keratin Smoothing Treatment, you can enjoy beautifully smooth and frizz-free hair all winter long.

Minimise Heat Styling
While hot tools like hairdryers, straighteners, and curling irons are essential for achieving certain styles, they can also cause damage, especially when used excessively without a proper heat protectant. During winter, try to minimise heat styling as much as possible to prevent further drying out your hair. Instead, embrace air-drying or opt for heat-free styling methods like braids or buns. If you must use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to shield your strands from damage.
Protect Your Strands Outdoors
Just like our skin, our hair can also suffer from exposure to the elements when we're outdoors in winter. Protect your strands from harsh winds, rain, and snow by wearing a hat or scarf when venturing outside. Even keeping your hair up with a claw clip will help prevent it getting tangled and knotty with the winter dryness.
Get Regular Trims
Lastly, don’t forget to schedule regular trims to get rid of dry, split ends and maintain the health of your hair. And for an extra boost of shine and protection, consider adding a gloss treatment to your salon service to lock in moisture and enhance your hair's natural lustre.
