How to Prep Your Hair for Winter: Aveda Treatments & Salon Tips

Winter may bring cozy vibes, but it also brings dry air, brittle ends, and dull hair if you’re not prepared. As temperatures drop, your strands lose moisture faster and without the right care, breakage, static, and frizz become inevitable. That’s why winter is the perfect time to upgrade your hair routine with deep hydration, strengthening care, and shine-boosting services.

Here are our top Breeze Salon + Spa winter hair prep tips, plus the Aveda treatments our stylists swear by.

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Cold weather + indoor heat = moisture loss. Start your winter routine with products that replenish hydration from the inside out.

Aveda Must-Haves:

• Botanical Repair™ Bond-Building Masque
  Strengthens and hydrates while repairing winter damage.
• Nutriplenish™ Leave-In Conditioner
  A lightweight daily moisture boost that prevents dryness and static.
• Dry Remedy™ Daily Moisturizing Oil
  Adds instant softness and shine without weighing hair down.

Salon Tip: Book a Moisture Treatment Add-On during your next cut or color for deeper hydration that lasts.

2. Prevent Breakage Before It Starts

Winter dryness makes hair more fragile especially for blondes or anyone who heat styles regularly.

Salon Service That Help:

• Aveda Botanical Repair™ Professional Treatment
  Rebuilds bonds from the inside out to prevent breakage.

Pro Tip: Brush gently when hair is wet and use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.

3. Boost Shine With Glossing & Toning Services

Hair tends to look dull in winter, especially if you’re blonde or highlighted. A gloss service restores shine, enhances tone, and smooths the cuticle the perfect winter refresh without commitment.

Great Options:

• Aveda Demi+ Gloss
  Adds shine, tone, and condition in just 20 minutes.
• Toner Refresh for Blondes
  Neutralizes brass and keeps your color bright all season long.

4. Lock In Moisture With Weekly Masks

Make deep conditioning a non-negotiable in winter.

Aveda Favorites:

• Nutriplenish™ Deep Moisture Treatment
  Ultra-rich hydration for thick or textured hair.
• Botanical Repair™ Intensive Strengthening Masque
  Perfect for chemically treated or fragile hair.

Salon Tip: Ask your stylist which mask is best for your hair type — not all winter dryness is the same!

5. Reduce Heat Styling (or Protect When You Can’t!)

If you’re using hot tools during the holidays, protect your investment.

Aveda Heat Protectors We Love:

• Smooth Infusion™ Style-Prep Smoother
• Abundant Blow Dry Spray
  Gives volume and protects from heat.
