How Can I Care for My Hair Like a Pro this Winter?

As the days get colder and the heating goes up, your hair can start to feel dull and dry. Winter air draws moisture out of your strands, leaving them brittle and prone to breakage.

Luckily, with a few simple changes, you can keep your hair hydrated, smooth, and full of life. Here are four expert-approved tips — and our favourite Davines products — to help your hair stay glossy and healthy all season. 

And for the ultimate luxury experience, book one of our bespoke hair treatments for a winter boost your hair will love. Call Combers Inside-Out Salon in Taunton today on 01823 334 331 to enjoy a pamper session with us.

1. Switch to a Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Winter hair needs extra TLC. Sulfates strip away natural oils, leaving strands dry and fragile, so swapping to a sulfate-free shampoo is one of the easiest ways to protect your locks. 

To truly nourish from root to tip, visit Combers for a Davines vegan treatment — designed with natural, sustainable ingredients to restore hydration and strength. Your stylist will match the right formula to your hair’s specific needs, ensuring you leave with healthier, more radiant locks.

2. Wash with Lukewarm Water

A hot shower might feel comforting, but it can dehydrate your hair and fade your colour. Lukewarm water helps to keep the hair’s cuticle smooth, locking in hydration and natural shine.

Finish your wash with a cool rinse to seal the cuticle and reduce frizz. For an in-salon moisture boost, we always recommend The Circle Chronicles by Davines. There are seven luxurious masks to choose from, targeting everything from repair and nourishment to increasing volume and vitality.

3. Nourish with a Deep Conditioning Treatment

Cold weather calls for extra hydration. A weekly mask or leave-in treatment replenishes moisture, repairs winter damage, and your keeps hair silky. Try Davines Authentic Nourishing Oil for lightweight hydration, or Davines OI All In One Milk, a leave-in spray that detangles, protects, and smooths in seconds.

If you have dry or colour-treated hair, pair your home care with an in-salon Olaplex treatment at Combers. Olaplex works on a molecular level to rebuild broken bonds inside the hair, restoring strength and elasticity — the perfect remedy for brittle winter strands.

4. Protect Before You Style

If you love straightening or curling your hair, remember to apply a heat protectant before blow-drying or styling to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier. Finish with a few drops of Davines OI Oil to smooth flyaways and keep your look polished.

Not sure which product will work for your locks? Don't sweat it! Our Combers stylist are always happy to recommend the right heat protectant to suit your hair type.
