Keeping hair healthy during cold and dry months is not easy, so we turned to two of the industry’s leading experts. stylist Jonn Rhamani and colorist Alexis Unnoboth of them Salon Yoshiko at Bergdorf Goodmanto get the scope on how to (easily!)

It’s actually pretty short and sweet. “To allow the natural oils in your hair to nourish your strands, be sure to trim the ends to keep them looking healthy and use less shampoo in the winter compared to the warmer months,” says Rhamani. She also recommends using products that contain moisturizing ingredients like rice oil. “Rice oil is a natural preservative and is packed with soothing ingredients to nourish the scalp and hair. This Salon Yoshiko Signature Balanced Cleansing Shampoo and Signature Balanced Moisture Conditioner It’s the perfect combination to keep hair in top condition, especially in winter.”

Deep conditioning treatments and hair masks are a great way to give your hair extra TLC during the colder months, according to Rhamani. “A great tip for deep conditioning is to apply Salon Yoshiko Signature Balanced Moisture Conditioner 30 minutes before shampooing, then reapply and rinse as usual. I love it too Plarmia Hair Serum Treatment because the technology of the ingredients really works to restore moisture, shine and strength to the hair and scalp. After shampooing, you can leave it on for anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes before washing it off, leaving your hair feeling soft and smelling great.

When it comes to hair trends that will make hair look its best this season, Rhamani loves butterfly bangs.

“Whether you’re lengthening the curtains you don’t want anymore, looking for a TikTok-worthy update, or just love the look of this style – it’s the perfect season to give it a try! It’s a modern take on the ’70s ‘Farrah Fawcett’ and works with all hair types, textures and face shapes – you really can’t go wrong!

He also states that the boom of the 90s came back last summer and is not going anywhere.
“As long as the right products are used for your hair type, it has quickly become a classic style and goes beyond different hair textures (and looks great at any age). The goal is to make an effortless “bounce” without frizz or flyaways. You can achieve this look by blowing hair with a large round brush, large hot rollers, or visiting your stylist! The key to keeping it modern is to avoid a very obvious ‘Rachel flip’ (a Friends).”

As for color, Unno notes that richer, darker hair tones are always gaining popularity during the winter months. The brownie dough and rich girl brunette color trends started gaining popularity this past fall and will stay here through the winter, being seen by some of the biggest celebrities and models. Brownie dough is a medium to dark neutral brown base that is interspersed with cool golden balayage highlights with a stronger focus on the front of the hair for a more visual impact and looks great on all skin tones. Always check with your stylist because they will make sure they will do the right shading for your current hair color, skin tone and eye color.”

She goes on to note that the expensive brunette is similar in nature, a mix of bright and low lights to add dimension to the hair, followed by a shine for maximum rich shine. “This style is great because it’s easy to maintain and you can keep the intense shine with household polishing products.”
