Hydrate Your Hair: Winter Edition

Brooklynne Gibbons • January 3, 2025

A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that 70-80% of people with eczema experience worsened symptoms during the winter.

Wintertime in Utah can wreak havoc on your hair and scalp, leaving them feeling dry, brittle, and lifeless. The cold air strips away moisture, while indoor heating systems further dehydrate your strands. Add to that the constant battle with static electricity, it's no wonder your hair suffers during these chilly months. 

 

Don’t let this scare you, with a few simple adjustments to your hair and scalp care routine, you can keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and protected all winter long. 


From the beauty professionals at Ottalaus Salon, here are their favorite tips, tricks, and products that are guaranteed to help your hair thrive during the cold!
