Healthy hair in winter

January brings icy temperatures, dry heating air and poses particular challenges for our hair. Many people notice increased hair loss at this time of year. But don't worry: with the right care, an adapted routine and the expertise of our team, you can get your hair through the winter healthy and strong.

Why do we lose more hair in winter?

There is a natural reason why more hair falls out in the colder months: the so-called telogen phase. In the fall, many hair roots enter this resting phase, which lasts two to three months. The hair then falls out to make room for new growth. This process is completely normal and should not be confused with pathological hair loss.

A widespread myth says that hats and helmets promote hair loss. However, this is not correct. While tight or poorly ventilated headgear can lead to hair breakage or an irritated scalp, the actual hair loss is biological. The solution? Breathable materials and a silk scarf under the cap help to minimize friction and protect the hair.

Another factor is the dry heating air. It removes moisture from the hair, which leads to brittle ends, hair breakage and a sensitive scalp. You can counteract this with the right care.

The best tips for healthy hair in winter

Winter requires special hair care. These tips will keep your hair healthy even in the cold season:

1. the right hair care routine

• Mild cleansing: Use a gentle shampoo that is tailored to your hair type. Ingredients such as biotin, panthenol or zinc strengthen the hair structure and nourish the scalp.
• Moisturizing care: A rich conditioner or hair mask protects your hair from drying out.
• Special care: Supplement your routine with a serum or scalp care product that strengthens hair roots and counteracts hair loss.

2. protection against cold & mechanical damage
