Cold, dry air and heated indoor environments are known to create static electricity in your hair. To combat this, coat your hair with a deep moisture conditioner or a light anti-static serum.

Winter hair hacks: combing, styling and serums
Use rollers to add volume
To make your blow-dry last longer, start by adding volume to your roots with a large or medium roller. After blow-drying your hair, leave the rollers in for 10 to 15 minutes to set the style. It helps create extra volume, lift and shape, making your hairstyle last longer, even in wind and snow.
Backcombing for extra hold
When the weather gets particularly rough, bristling, or teased, your roots will instantly lift up for extra hold. Use a pintail comb to gently tease a small area at the top of your head. Finally, use a smoothing brush to blend the loosened sections into the rest of your hair for a natural, voluminous look.
Pin curling with defined waves
If you’re aiming for a more structured and flattering blowout, try pin curls while your hair is still warm. After drying, tightly curl small sections of hair and secure with pins. Allow the pin to cool completely before removing it. This will lock your curls in place and help them hold their curls even when exposed to the elements. If you don’t have a roller at home, this is the perfect solution.
A small round brush that maintains firm curls for a long time.
A large round brush will give you big, voluminous curls, but for long-lasting, tight curls in winter, choose a small round brush. The smaller the barrel, the more defined the curls will be and the longer they will last. A tighter curl pattern is less likely to sag in the face of winter damp or humid conditions.
Mousse that increases hold and texture
Before blow-drying, apply a mousse or styling cream to wet hair to give it extra grip and texture. Mousse helps keep your style in place without weighing down your hair or making it greasy. It’s great for adding volume and texture to your blowout, especially when combined with other techniques like rolling and backcombing. Medium hold mousse is a great and safe product to use on hair extensions as it is light and non-greasy.
Avoid oily and thick serums after styling
Oils and serums are great for adding shine and hydration, but they can also make breakouts worse and harder to maintain throughout the day. Use lightweight products and use carefully. Focus on hydration when your hair is wet and skip heavy post-styling serums to maintain blowout shape and volume. If you’re looking for a bit of shine or frizz control, our lightweight moisturizing silky spray is designed to be used post-blow-dry and won’t weaken the volume you’ve worked so hard to create.
