With the festive season upon us, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, leaving our hair feeling a little neglected. Between holiday gatherings, travel, and seasonal weather changes, your hair needs some extra attention to stay as radiant as the holiday lights. As your person stylist would tell you, hair health is all about consistent, caring routines. Here are five essential tips to help keep your hair soft, shiny, and protected throughout the colder season.
1. Focus on Moisture
Moisture can be an issue year-round. In the Fall and Winter, we are not suggesting you walk around with a water bottle to quench your hair as you would in the summer. Instead, focus on a healthy scalp and products that maintain your hair’s moisture after you shampoo.
Winter’s cool, dry air can quickly sap the moisture from your hair, especially if it’s naturally dry or color-treated. Investing in a nourishing serum, like our Ceramides Enriched Desert Serum, can make all the difference. This serum is designed to penetrate deeply without weighing hair down, restoring essential lipids and reducing frizz. Warm a few drops between your palms, and gently apply it to damp or dry hair, concentrating on the ends. This small step is like giving your hair a warm blanket against the cold.
2. Protect from Heat Styling
Between styling for holiday parties and the extra effort we all put into our look this season, it’s easy to overdo the heat. If you’re using blow dryers, straighteners, or curling irons, remember to shield your strands with a heat-protectant to reduce the risk of breakage or heat damage. Even better, consider incorporating a few heat-free styling days into your week. A few sleek or braided, bo-ho hairstyles can help you achieve an elegant look without compromising hair health.
3. Choose Hair-Friendly Accessories
Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference. Holiday styles often call for added accessories, but hair ties and clips can pull at strands, causing breakage and split ends. Opt for satin or silk hair ties that minimize friction, and try to avoid tightly pulling your hair back. If you’re putting together a festive updo, choose gentle, hair-safe options to keep your hair as healthy as it is stylish.
4. Hydrate from Within
Yes! Hydration again. During the holidays, our routines shift, and it’s easy to overlook hydration. Yet, one of the best ways to keep your hair healthy is from the inside out. Aim to drink plenty of water and enjoy foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids—like walnuts, chia seeds, and salmon. These small nutritional boosts help your hair and your scalp in a natural (and delicious) way.
5. End the Day with a Simple Night Routine
Before bed, take a moment to care for your hair with a few simple steps. Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb or a paddle brush (according to your hair type) and apply a lightweight serum, like the Ceramides Enriched Desert Serum, to keep strands smooth and protected overnight. If your hair is especially prone to dryness, try wrapping it in a satin scarf or using a satin pillowcase to minimize breakage. This small, calming ritual at the end of the day can help your hair feel more resilient by morning.
Taking a few minutes to give your hair a little extra care during the holidays can help it stay healthy, shiny, and vibrant through all the festivities. These simple, expert-backed steps will not only protect your hair but also make it feel stronger and more beautiful well beyond the Holiday season.

I noticed effects on shine and frizz after the very first use and with time on the texture of the hair. My hair is thicker, stronger and remains light.
