Hydrate, Repair, Protect: Canadian Hair Care for Winter Weather
Winter weather in Canada is notoriously drying, with frigid outdoor air and heated indoor environments stripping moisture from hair and scalp alike. Low humidity levels and harsh winds can lead to brittle strands, static, frizz, and lacklustre texture.
But your hair doesn’t have to suffer through the season. With the right products, hydrating rituals, and clean formulations, you can maintain softness, shine, and resilience all winter long. Here’s a curated edit of Canadian hair care essentials from independent brands, designed to nourish, protect, and restore moisture when your hair needs it most.
