Winter can be magical, with crisp mornings and cosy evenings, but it’s not always kind to your hair. Cold winds, indoor heating, and the lack of humidity can leave your locks feeling dry, brittle, and lacking shine. At Callisto Style, we’re here to help you combat the season’s challenges with sustainable solutions from Davines — a brand we’re proud to stock in our salon.
Here’s your ultimate guide to winter-proofing your hair with a routine that will leave it hydrated, healthy, and full of life.
Step 1: Keep Your Hair and Scalp Hydrated
Winter weather strips moisture from your hair and scalp, making hydration crucial. Start with a moisturising shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair soft and nourished, while also giving your scalp the care it needs.
Our Pick: Davines MOMO Shampoo & Conditioner
These products are rich in Cartucciaru Melon extract, providing long-lasting hydration without weighing your hair down. For your scalp, we recommend Naturaltech CALMING Shampoo, which soothes dryness and sensitivity with its natural anti-inflammatory properties. Pair it with the ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment for immediate relief from redness and itching.
Step 2: Clarify and Detoxify Your Scalp
A healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful hair, but winter pollution, dirt, and grime can create buildup. For flaky or congested scalps, a clarifying shampoo is essential to gently yet deeply cleanse.
Our Picks:
Davines SOLU Shampoo: Perfect for tackling stubborn buildup, leaving your scalp feeling fresh and balanced.
Davines Naturaltech Purifying Shampoo: Ideal for a flaky scalp in winter, this formula deeply cleanses while maintaining the scalp’s natural moisture balance.
Step 3: Nourish with a Weekly Mask
A weekly deep treatment is essential to repair damage and maintain your hair’s moisture balance.
Our Pick: Davines Nounou Hair Mask
Infused with Fiaschetto Tomato extract, this mask deeply nourishes and revitalises hair, making it ideal for combating winter’s harsh effects. Use it once a week to keep your hair feeling luxurious.
Step 4: Wash Your Hair the Right Way
Proper washing techniques can make all the difference in maintaining healthy hair and scalp during winter. Here’s how to get it right:
Cut down on hair washes: Try to avoid washing every day to let your hair's natural oils add extra hydration for the winter.
Make sure your shower isn’t too hot: It’s tempting to stay in there all day, but the less time you spend under heated water, the less likely your hair is to face weaker – or broken – hair roots. Plus, cooler showers are better for the planet, as they reduce energy consumption: you could turn off the shower while shampooing to conserve water and energy. A colder rinse helps close hair follicles, leaving your hair shinier.
Detangle first: Brush your hair before washing to prevent knots.
Lather gently: Use a small amount of shampoo and massage your scalp with your fingertips, not your nails, to stimulate circulation.
Rinse thoroughly: Make sure no residue is left behind, as it can cause buildup.
Condition strategically: Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends, avoiding the scalp.
Dry with care: Gently towel-dry your hair to remove excess water and avoid vigorous rubbing.
Avoid brushing wet hair: Let your locks dry naturally before brushing, and stay indoors while your hair dries. Cold weather can cause damp hair shafts to expand, leading to faded colour and split ends.
Step 5: Protect Your Hair from Heat
Whether it’s the warmth of a blow-dryer or the chill of icy winds, winter exposes your hair to extreme temperatures. Protect your strands from heat damage with a leave-in product that locks in moisture.
Our Pick: Davines OI All-in-One Milk
This multi-tasking leave-in treatment not only detangles but also hydrates and protects your hair from heat damage. Plus, its lightweight formula ensures your hair feels soft and smooth without any residue.
Step 6: Tame Winter Frizz
Cold weather can lead to frizz and flyaways, but the right products can smooth things out.
Our Pick: Davines OI Oil
This nourishing oil eliminates frizz, adds incredible shine, and protects against environmental stressors. Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair for a sleek, polished look.
Step 7: Add Extra TLC for Your Scalp
Don’t forget about your scalp! Winter can cause dryness and itchiness, so it’s essential to keep your scalp healthy.
Our Picks:
Naturaltech CALMING Shampoo: Soothes a sensitive scalp with its natural anti-inflammatory properties.
ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment: Provides immediate relief from redness and itching.
SOLU Salt Scrub: For build-ups that won’t budge, this clarifying formula keeps your scalp fresh and balanced.
Massage your scalp: A scalp massage while you shower helps boost circulation where it matters, keep your scalp healthy, and encourage hair growth.
