You can spend all year perfecting your hair, but it only takes a few weeks for winter to wreck those luscious locks and professional haircut. Between the bitter cold outside and the dry indoor air, even the healthiest hair can fall victim to breakage, frizz, and static in the winter. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to keep your hair looking great until spring arrives.

3 Ways to Protect Your Hair in the Winter

1. Use Dryer Sheets to Smooth Out Frizz

During the summer, your hair might shrug off static electricity, but fine strands dried out by winter weather will slowly stand up, ruining even the most careful hairdo. Fortunately, wiping your hair with an anti-static dryer sheet can help keep it in place until you can give it a proper conditioning.

2. Rub in Some Oil

A high-quality leave-in conditioner shields your hair from dryness, locking in moisture without weighing it down. Fine or curly strands can be especially vulnerable to the effects of dry air, but rubbing a little hair oil in the ends can help prevent breakage and frizz.

3. Go Darker

If you usually go platinum when you get a haircut, consider switching to a darker color or just letting your roots grow out. Platinum blonde locks may look striking, but bleaching your hair weakens it, leaving it even more brittle and dry in the winter.
