Cold air, wind, low humidity, and heating all contribute to hair dryness, breakage, and scalp irritation. If you've noticed that your hair is duller, frizzier, or harder to manage in winter, you're in the right place; we will show you what you can do about it!
Why does cold weather dry out hair?
Cold air contains less moisture, which easily "sucks" hydration from hair strands and the scalp. The consequences can be:
-
dull appearance
-
dry, itchy scalp
-
split ends
-
flyaway, easily tangled strands
-
increased hair loss
Indoor heating is not beneficial either: warm, dry air further disrupts the moisture balance of the hair.
Expert tip: in winter, it is especially important to regularly replenish moisturizing and nourishing ingredients.
What to do against dry, frizzy hair?
Hydration is key, both externally and internally. By using the right hair care products, you can significantly reduce the problem of frizzy, flyaway hair.

Winter hair care routine: how to take care of your hair step by step
1. Switch to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
Avoid sulfate-based, highly drying formulas. Focus on nourishment in winter!

Maruderm SLES-Free Hair Regenerating Shampoo and Conditioner Set – the perfect duo for winter hair protection.
2. Use a hair mask or treatment regularly
Once a week works wonders.
Our recommendation:
Maruderm Pre-Wash Hair Treatment - Biotin and Keratin Intensive Regenerating Hair Mask
– nourishes the hair strands with argan oil and keratin.
3. Reduce heat styling
Hot air further dries the hair. If possible, dry at a low temperature or let your hair air dry.
4.Avoid washing your hair with hot water
Warm water removes the natural oils from the scalp. Use lukewarm water instead.
5. Wear a hat outdoors, but be careful!
Friction can cause breakage, so it's advisable to wear a hat lined with silk or cotton.
Hair loss in winter: normal or a warning sign?
The cold weather and dry air can irritate the scalp more quickly, which can contribute to hair loss. Additionally, moisture loss due to heating weakens the hair follicles.
