The winter chill is not an obstacle: secrets to long-lasting hairstyles

During winter, our hair faces constant challenges from temperature fluctuations, dry air, and static electricity. Styling often loses its shape, and strands can become unruly. How can you tackle these obstacles and keep your hairstyle flawless? ELLE O'zbekiston shares practical tips and recommendations to help you maintain perfect hair all winter long.

Start with proper hair care

A great hairstyle begins with healthy hair. In winter, prioritize moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to prevent dryness. Look for products with argan oil, jojoba oil, or keratin for added protection.

Heat protection is a must

Before using a blow dryer, curling iron, or flat iron, always apply a heat protectant spray or cream. These products shield your hair from high temperatures and reduce breakage. Great options include Moroccanoil Perfect Defense

Strong hold for long-lasting styles

To keep your hairstyle intact throughout the day, use strong-hold styling products. A light mousse or styling cream can add volume, while a finishing spray will secure the look. Recommended products:

• Wella Professionals EIMI Extra Volume Mousse – for volume
• Schwarzkopf Professional Osis+ Session Label Super Dry Fix – for the final hold
