Winter is setting in, bringing with it cold, wind, and dry indoor air — all factors that weaken the hair fiber and dull its shine. No need to panic! At Cachet Urbain, we’ve put together a complete winter hair care routine, suited to all hair types, to keep your hair hydrated, shiny, and full of vitality throughout the cold season.
Step 1 – Choose the Right Shampoo for Your Scalp
Choosing the right shampoo is the foundation of a good winter hair care routine. What matters isn’t simply picking a hydrating shampoo, but rather a cleansing product suited to your scalp’s needs: hydration, volume, soothing, or purifying?
Our favorite professional shampoos:
• Kevin Murphy Hydrate-Me.Wash – hydrates and nourishes dry or dull hair.
• Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo – restores shine and softness.
• René Furterer Astera Fresh – soothes and balances sensitive scalps.
Cachet Urbain tip: take the time to massage your scalp while washing. This stimulates blood circulation and promotes healthy growth. Use a scalp massage brush for an at-home spa effect!
Step 2 – Deeply Hydrate and Repair
Cold weather and indoor heating dehydrate the lengths and weaken the ends. Add a nourishing hair mask to your routine once or twice a week to restore softness, shine, and suppleness.
Our favorite winter masks:
• Pureology Color Fanatic 21 Benefits Mask – repairs, protects, and enhances all hair types.
• Redken All Soft – ideal for dry, coarse hair.
• Amika Soulfood Mask – intense hydration with a comforting scent.
• Oligo Blacklight Mask – nourishes without altering blonde hair color.
Cachet Urbain tip: apply your mask to towel-dried hair and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes under a warm towel. The result: a salon effect, right at home
Step 3 – Protect and Seal in Hydration
Between winter hats, heating, and friction, hair damages quickly. To prevent breakage and keep hair supple, apply a leave-in treatment or a protective hair oil after every wash.
Our must-have winter hair treatments:
• Redken One United – a 25-in-1 treatment that protects, detangles, and revitalizes.
• Royal Macadamia Oil – a lightweight oil that nourishes without weighing hair down.
• Moroccanoil Treatment Original – the iconic product for instant shine and nourishment.
Cachet Urbain tip: apply your treatment only to the mid-lengths and ends to avoid greasy roots.
Step 4 – Maintain Healthy Hair Every Day
A few simple habits can make all the difference:
• Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to prevent frizz and breakage.
• Gently brush your hair with a brush designed for wet hair.
• Between washes, use a hydrating spray or anti-frizz serum to revive shine.
