Hair Masks for Winter Damaged Hair
Hair masks are making their way out of the salon and into your home.
— -- Hair masks are making their way out of the salon and into your home. And with the cold weather rolling in, one expert says that moisturizing treatments can help beat the damage.
“When we are living, working and sleeping in heated environments, the dry air causes hair to become dehydrated,” says Marie Robinson, a hair colorist who said she has worked with celebrity clients, including Emma Stone and Scarlett Johansson. “Hair masks can be either moisturizing or strengthening.”
Here, hair mask suggestions for combating your winter hair woes.
Dry hair
Indoor heating can pull the moisture from your hair, causing breakage and dead ends.
“If you find your hair is unusually dry in winter, avoid washing your hair every day as it can strip hair of its moisture,” Robinson says. “Once a month intensive hair treatments also help a lot.”
Hydrate your dehydrated locks with a moisturizing mask.

Limp hair
Winter winds can cause your hair to look limp and flat.
"Wearing any kind of hat can also make hair limp, especially something that keeps us warm since it can cause a little perspiration," Robinson says.
Give your hair lift and height with a lightweight, volume-active mask.

Dull color
The dryness of your hair can zap the life out of your color. Using a mask with Vitamin A will protect hair against dryness and restore its vibrancy.
“Hair will hold onto hair color better when it's nourished and healthy,” Robinson says.
