How to look after your hair during winter
Winter can be damaging on our hair. The constant switching between cold weather outside with indoor dry heat, can wreak havoc on your strands, leading to split ends and breakage. We have teamed up with the experts at Shu Uemura Art of Hair to give you their most trusted tips and tricks to prevent winter hair woes and keep your hair healthy during the winter months.
Cleanse
If possible, try and limit yourself to washing your mane just two or three times a week to prevent it from drying out in the cold. This minimises the amount of heat styling in your routine too, which can be extremely harsh on the hair, especially in the winter. Add a restoring shampoo into your routine like the Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Shampoo, a delicate cleanser that helps to lift away any dirt, impurities and product build-up while strengthening strands to leave hair healthy and feeling soft.

Hair dries out in the winter from due to a lack of moisture in most indoor environments. This is when a good conditioner comes in handy; The Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Conditioner repairs and restores damaged hair with a gentle formula that nourishes, protects and provides a high level of care that brings softness, suppleness and strength. It's lightweight and non-greasy, and melts into strands to strengthen from root to tip, helping to resist hair breakage. No matter what your hair texture, to replace lost moisture, commit to weekly treatments of the Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Mask to keep hair healthy and hydrated.
