1.Moisturize
During the winter, it’s all about keeping your locks as moisturized as possible―this cannot be stressed enough. When temperatures drop, so do humidity levels, which means dry, possibly damaged hair, if you’re not careful. Combat split ends and brittle hair by switching to a shampoo/conditioner combo that incorporates more hydrating ingredients like coconut milk, shea & argan oil. Integrate a mask or other dry hair treatment into your regular routine to give that mane the moisture it’s lacking this time of year. And don’t forget about your scalp! Like the rest of your skin, your scalp is subject to drying, which can lead to itching, so don’t skip over it when winterizing your beauty ritual. You can use a bit of coconut oil from time to time to help alleviate an irritated scalp; simply massage in and leave on for ten minutes before rinsing out.![](https://assets.foreo.com/files/static/images/wp-text/3-Tips-for-Bringing-Your-Hair-Out-of-Hibernation-MYSA-Reduce-Heating-1024x576_1.jpg)
2.Be Gentle
In the colder months, your hair is much more fragile, so it’s important to treat your hair with extra TLC. Make an effort to include heat-free hairstyles in your rotation to give your delicate locks a rest from the punishing effects of hot appliances (think braids and messy buns). Consider washing your hair less frequently—two to three times a week is plenty—as shampoo can strip natural oils from your scalp and hair. In between washes, use a dry shampoo to keep those roots from looking greasy. If you simply can’t live without your lather, try switching to a conditioning cleanser without surfactants (surface acting agents). When you do wash, be kind to those vulnerable wet locks. After showering, lightly spray the ends of your hair with a leave-in conditioner to protect, and use a wide-tooth comb—not a brush!—to gently detangle.![](https://assets.foreo.com/files/static/images/wp-text/3-Tips-for-Bringing-Your-Hair-Out-of-Hibernation-MYSA-As-You-Sleep-1024x576_1.jpg)
