Hair Journal

Winter hair care: scalp, static and shine.

Cold air outside and dry heat inside are hard on hair and scalp. A few small changes make a big difference all season.

Dry, itchy scalp

  • Turn the shower temperature down a little. Very hot water dries out your scalp.
  • Massage shampoo in with your fingertips, not your nails.
  • Don't skip conditioner, even if your hair is fine.

In the salon, a Pramasana or Scalp Solutions treatment is a relaxing way to help your scalp feel refreshed. See our Aveda treatments.

Static and flyaways

  • Smooth a drop of hair oil through your ends.
  • Let hair dry fully before heading out into the cold.
  • Choose a soft scarf or hat lining over rough wool when you can.

Color that fades faster

Winter dryness can make color look dull. Wash with lukewarm water, use a color-safe shampoo, and consider a tone & gloss between color visits to bring back shine and tone.

Add a treatment to any visit

An Aveda botanical treatment is a quick add-on that leaves hair feeling stronger and softer. Ask your stylist which treatment fits your hair at your next appointment.
