StyleNest have teamed up with Sassoon UK Creative Director, Bruce Masefield to bring you the best winter hair top tips to ensure your hair is healthy, shiny and glossy during these bitter months. 

With the temperature dropping and the sunlight diminishing, it’s time to have some hair SOS. Central heating and over styling with heated appliances cause dry and brittle hair with lack of moisture inside and outside leaving the ends of your hair dull and difficult to manage.

Tip 1. Before the winter hits, tidy up your hair and ensure to trim the ends. This will remove all the split ends from the summer and also give your hair a good start for the winter.

Tip 2. Avoid shampooing your hair in hot water and instead use warm water. Heat can damage and dry your hair so rinse your with cold water to add extra shine to lock in moisture.

Tip 3. Keep your hair well conditioned and use a treatment such as Sassoon Professional Intense Restore at least once a week in addition to conditioner. This will help to not only replenish the moisture lost through your hair but also retain it. If possible, visit your local Sassoon salon for a more intense and revitalising treatment.

Tip 4. Ensure to use a heat protector spray such as Sassoon Professional Halo Hydrate and apply a small amount of serum such as Sassoon Professional Diamond Polish before using heat styling tools. This will protect the hair from any heat and shield it from the elements.

Tip 5. There are many myths and old wives tales about going outside with wet hair but one thing that isn’t a myth is that going outside with wet hair will make it susceptible to breakage so ensure it’s thoroughly dry.
