Just like different seasons call for new makeup and skincare routines, the changing seasons also requires incorporating different techniques and products to maintain healthy hair. And as we enter into some of the coldest months of the year, you may have already noticed the drop in temperature and simultaneous blasting of indoor heaters has started to take a toll on your locks, leaving you with staticky hair, a dry scalp, and serious styling problems. During the winter months, your locks need a lot of tender loving care, as the cold, dry air can cause the cuticle layer of the hair to lift, and as a result, moisture doesn’t stand a chance of staying locked into the hair shaft, leaving you with dry and frizzy tresses.
To ensure you know how to protect your hair and your scalp during the winter months, we rounded up our favourite 10 products that will leave you with stunning hair, regardless of the weather.

The fall and winter seasons are notorious for being beautiful, cozy, and dehydrating for our skin. In addition to it being absolutely freakin’ freezing, these icy winds wreak absolute havoc on our skin and hair. It’s not only important to keep ourselves hydrated by obviously drinking water, but slathering on hydrating beauty products has never been so crucial.
Now don’t read this and start slathering on all the moisturizer. Keeping your skin and hair hydrated starts on the inside. Really make sure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day. Not only that, but make sure you chug a large glass full first thing in the morning. If you think about it, that’s a whole 8 hours that you didn’t drink anything. For my fellow caffeine addicts — don’t worry, you’ll still get your espresso — just after you down that glass of H20.
Here are 15 hydrating beauty products to have on hand this fall and winter.
