Nighttime Hair Care: Winter Edition

When the temperature drops, your hair care routine needs extra attention—especially while you sleep. Nighttime is when your hair has the chance to rest and repair, making it the perfect time to incorporate a winter-focused care routine. With a few easy steps, you can wake up to smoother, healthier locks, no matter how chilly it gets outside.

1. Wrap It Up with Satin or Silk

Winter air can leave your hair dry and prone to breakage, and your cotton pillowcase might be making it worse. Cotton absorbs moisture, while satin or silk allows your hair to glide freely, reducing friction and keeping moisture locked in.

Pro Tip: Invest in a silk pillowcase or wrap your hair in a silk scarf to prevent frizz and minimize damage while you sleep. Like this Kitsch satin pillowcase.

2. Hydrate with an Overnight Hair Mask

Winter weather can leave your hair parched, but an overnight hair mask can restore hydration while you catch some Z’s.

• Choose a product rich in oils like argan, coconut, or shea butter for maximum moisture.

• Apply the mask to your mid-lengths and ends, then braid or twist your hair to keep it secure overnight.

• My favorite is amika dream routine.

Bonus: Use a microfiber hair towel or cap to protect your pillowcase and enhance absorption.

3. Protect Your Ends

Split ends are more common in winter due to dry air and indoor heating. Take an extra step to protect them at night:

• Apply a lightweight hair oil or serum to your ends before bed.

• If you have extensions, ensure they’re properly brushed and detangled to avoid unnecessary tugging.

4. Keep It Loose

Tight hairstyles can cause stress on your hair overnight, leading to breakage and thinning. Instead, opt for loose braids, a low ponytail, or even a simple bun to keep your hair manageable and protected.

5. Humidify Your Space

Indoor heating can be as damaging to your hair as the cold outside. Adding a humidifier to your bedroom can help keep the air (and your hair) hydrated throughout the night.
