Winter Reset: How to Protect Your Hair & Scalp in Denver’s Dry Winter
Between dry air, cold winds, and mineral-heavy Denver water, your scalp and hair are working overtime to stay balanced. If you’ve noticed dullness, breakage, flaking, or that tight, itchy feeling by mid-season, you’re not alone. Winter compromises your scalp barrier — just like your skin’s. Here’s how to restore hydration, shine, and strength with a step-by-step plan featuring my favorite Davines treatments.
Clarify Bi-Weekly
Product: Davines SOLU Shampoo
Cold weather + hard water = mineral buildup. This gentle clarifier detoxes without stripping.
Use Twice a month. Massage into the scalp- working into mid lengths and ends for 60 seconds before your regular shampoo. Follow with conditioner.
Result: Lighter, softer hair and a clean foundation for your next treatments.
2. Restore Moisture & Elasticity
Products: Naturaltech Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle Mask or OI Hair Butter
Both infuse lipids back into the cuticle and calm static or frizz.
Use as needed. Apply mid-shaft to ends, twist into a braid, and leave on 10–15 minutes.
Result: Smooth, flexible strands that resist winter breakage.
3. Hydrate & Strengthen the Scalp Barrier
Products: Naturaltech Elevating Scalp Recovery Treatment
When your scalp feels dry but oily, it’s your barrier crying out for balance. This rehydrates and soothes the scalp. Integrated with a micro biotic booster, Tasmanian pepper berry and fumaria extracts.
Use on a needed basis ( leave- in can be used wet AND dry).
Result: A soothed, balanced scalp with less irritation and better hair growth potential.
4. Seal & Protect
Products: Davines OI Oil
Denver’s cold, dry wind and indoor heat zap moisture fast. A finishing oil creates a micro-barrier of protection. If you go days in between washed its important to add moisture daily.
Use wet and/or after styling. Apply one to two pumps on damp hair and/or one pump on dry hair
Result: Reflective shine and long-lasting softness.
