As the Wisconsin winter rolls in, our hair starts to tell the story—dry air, static, dullness, and split ends sneak in faster than the first frost. Just like your skin, your hair needs a little extra love when the temperatures drop. At Simple Scissors Salon, we believe winter is the perfect time to refresh your routine, repair summer damage, and restore that healthy Aveda shine.
Why Hair Needs Extra Care in Winter
Cold air outside and dry heat indoors create a double whammy of dehydration for your strands and scalp. Moisture escapes more quickly, leaving your hair brittle and your scalp tight, flaky, or itchy. The result? Dullness, breakage, and static that no amount of hairspray can truly fix.
Aveda Masks: Your Winter Hair Rescue Plan
Aveda’s plant-powered masks are a must-have this season. Here are a few of our salon favorites:
💧 Aveda Botanical Repair™ Intensive Strengthening Masque – instantly strengthens and repairs hair from the inside out. Perfect for anyone whose hair feels fragile after color or heat styling.
🌿 Aveda Scalp Solutions™ Exfoliating Scalp Treatment – removes buildup, rebalances oil production, and refreshes your scalp so healthy hair can grow strong.
🌸 Aveda Nutriplenish™ Deep Moisture Mask – rich in organic pomegranate oil and coconut oil, this mask deeply hydrates dry hair, restoring softness and shine without weighing it down.
Pro tip: Try alternating between a scalp mask and a deep moisture mask weekly for a full top-to-tip reset.
Free Pro Advice from Our Stylists
Our stylists at Simple Scissors Salon recommend these easy winter hair-care habits you can start right now:
- Turn down the heat (literally!) – Wash with lukewarm water and avoid cranking your hot tools to max heat, we recommend 360-380 degrees on average.
- Hydrate from the inside out – Drink plenty of water and add a leave-in conditioner to your routine for daily protection.
- Book regular trims – Trimming every 6–8 weeks keeps split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.
- Sleep on silk – A silk pillowcase helps prevent friction and static, especially in dry winter air.
- Protect your hair from the cold – Wear a hat lined with silk or satin, or wrap your hair in a scarf before stepping outside.
