why is my hair so dry in winter, and what helps?
Short answer: In winter, cold air outside and heaters and air conditioning inside pull moisture out of your hair, and hotter showers and more blow-drying make it worse. What helps: lukewarm water, conditioner every wash, less heat, and a leave-in serum on your lengths every day. In Lebanon, Get Glazy's leave-in hair oil serum capsules, made in Beirut, are made for this: one capsule a day helps dry lengths feel softer and look less frizzy.
why winter dries hair out
Indoor heating makes the air very dry, and dry air pulls water out of your hair. Hot showers strip natural oils, wool scarves and hats rub against your lengths, and static makes everything fly away.
what helps
- Wash with lukewarm, not hot, water.
- Use conditioner every time, and a leave-in serum on damp lengths after.
- Blow-dry on a lower heat setting, or let your hair dry before you go out in the cold.
- Choose scarves and hats with a silk or satin lining.
- For static, rub a little serum between your palms and smooth it over the flyaways.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my hair staticky in winter?
Dry air plus friction from wool, hats and scarves. A little serum smoothed over the hair helps calm flyaways.
Should I wash my hair less in winter?
Many people find that fewer washes help in winter, because each wash removes natural oils. When you do wash, use lukewarm water and conditioner.
