Winter Haircare Tips for the Aussie Climate: How to Keep Your Hair Happy, Hydrated, and Healthy

There’s a reason your skin gets drier in winter and your hair’s no different. As the temperature drops, so does the moisture in the air, and your hair starts to feel the effects: dry ends, frizz, flakiness, and that dull, lacklustre look that no one asked for.

The good news? A few simple swaps and seasonal upgrades can make a big difference. Here’s how to transition your haircare routine for the colder Aussie months without overhauling everything you love.

1. Double Down on Hydration

In summer, humidity helps hold moisture in your strands. But in winter, the air is drier, and indoor heating adds to the problem. This is when your hair craves hydration and we don’t just mean drinking water (though that helps too).

Try this:
Use our Nourishing Hydration Mask weekly as a deep conditioning treatment. Packed with hydrating ingredients it brings bounce and shine back to thirsty strands.

2. Avoid Overwashing

In cooler weather, most of us sweat less  so you probably don’t need to wash your hair as often. Overwashing strips your scalp of its natural oils, which are already in short supply during winter.

Try this:
Extend time between washes using our Organic Dry Shampoo. It adds volume and absorbs excess oil without drying out your scalp or leaving behind that powdery residue.

3. Make Friends with Hair Oils (The Right Ones)

Winter can make hair feel straw-like. A lightweight, water-soluble serum or oil can help soften the strands and seal in hydration without weighing it down or making it greasy.

Try this:
Our Shine & Moisture Hair Serum is a great finisher. It's full of good for hair oils like argan and macadamia that give your hair that healthy, hydrated gloss.

4. Protect Your Scalp Too

Scalp health is often overlooked  but it’s where healthy hair begins. Cold weather can leave your scalp dry, flaky or irritated, especially if you're already prone to sensitivity.

Try this:
Massage in our Strength & Repair Shampoo.  It’s gentle, nourishing and packed with calming botanicals to soothe and strengthen your scalp barrier.

5. Turn Down the Heat Tools

When it’s cold, it’s tempting to reach for the hairdryer, straightener or curling wand more often. But winter hair is already dry and hot tools can push it over the edge.

Try this:
Let your hair air dry when you can, or at least use your heat tools on a lower setting. Before styling, mist through our Voluminous Sea Salt Spray to create texture and hold, then use a hairdryer with a diffuser for volume without damage.

6. Don’t Skip Regular Trims

Cold weather can exacerbate split ends. Regular trims  even just the tiniest bit  help keep your hair healthy looking and stop those splits from travelling further up the strand.

Pro tip:
Book your next trim before winter sets in properly and again at the end of the season. Trust us, your future hair will thank you.

Lucky last…

Haircare, like skincare, is seasonal. And when you treat it that way  adjusting for the changes in temperature, humidity, and even how much time you spend indoors  you give your hair what it truly needs.

Hydrated, healthy, low-tox hair all winter long? Yes please.
