It’s common for popular hairstyles and colours to evolve with the seasons. In the colder months, hair can steadily become drier and more fragile, so if you’re looking to switch up your look, it’s important to consider your hair texture too. Keep reading for more winter hair colour inspiration and haircare tips.
Winter hair colour ideas
There is no right or wrong when it comes to hair colour, fashion or makeup. The only rule is to be bold, be comfortable and let your personality shine through. That said, a lot of people turn to more neutral, rich, and dark tones in the winter months whereas the summer can be a time to explore playful, bright colours.

Colour protecting products
As the temperature outside cools often you’re faced with dry, chapped skin, but did you know it can do the same to your hair? That’s because hair exposed to the element becomes drier and more susceptible to breakage. Luckily, the right haircare can help provide the extra care needed to restore your hair’s health and shine. Beyond the trusted tips such as being cautious with heat (that includes hot water), and not going to sleep with damp hair — introduce vitamin C and hydration to your routine and your hair will thank you later.
Vitamin C
Grow Gorgeous Scalp Care Prebiotic and Vitamin C 10% Booster 30ml - £19.90 / RRP: £25.00
Vitamin C is vital for your health and wellbeing in winter. Not only does it keep the nasty cold at bay, but vitamin C helps to combat hair loss and restore shine. By prompting cuticles to close, vitamin C improves the appearance and condition of your hair, even helping it to maintain colour longer. Try a concentrated vitamin C solution for the scalp for a quick everyday boost.
Hair hydration
Moroccanoil Treatments & Masks Intense Hydrating Mask 500ml - £41.85
Revitalise dry, winter hair with the reviving five-minute Moroccanoil® Intense Hydrating Mask. Infused with antioxidant-rich argan oil and nourishing ingredients, it hydrates and conditions while dramatically improving the hair's texture, elasticity, shine and manageability.
