Winter hair care: how to keep your locks healthy and shiny

At KURO, healthy hair always comes first. Our stylists see every year how winter demands a different routine to keep your hair strong and hydrated. With the right care at home and in the salon, you not only protect your hair but actually build on that healthy foundation.

Want to give your hair a winter boost right away? Book your treatment at KURO and keep your hair in top condition all season.

Color care in winter: Elumen

One of the first things you notice in winter is your hair color losing intensity. Less sunlight, harsh winds and indoor heating can leave color looking flat.

At KURO, we work with Elumen among other professional coloring systems. It is an ammonia-free formula that penetrates deep into the hair fiber. The result is not only vibrant, long-lasting color with exceptional shine, but also stronger, healthier-feeling hair.

Gloss treatments and toners add an instant boost, reviving dull tones and bringing back shine when winter tries to take it away.

Adjusting your hair routine for winter

Your bathroom is where the foundation of winter hair care begins. Choose a shampoo and conditioner that hydrate and cleanse gently, and add a nourishing mask at least once a week. Always pat your hair dry instead of rubbing it roughly with a towel.

Nancy, KURO stylist: “The biggest hair hack is always the foundation: proper care. When your hair is healthy and hydrated, everything you do with it just looks better. The new Kerasilk Hair Essence is perfect for that. It deeply hydrates, adds an almost glass-like shine instantly and doesn’t need any processing time. Styling becomes easier and the result is much more beautiful.”

Styling also needs adjusting. Blow-drying is fine, but lower the temperature and always use heat protection. Finish with a cold shot for added shine. If static or frizz takes over, opt for a light gloss spray or anti-frizz product. Avoid heavy oils at the roots, as they can weigh your hair down and weaken the base.

Extra care: masking before you wash

For an intensive boost, apply a hair mask before you shower. Leave it in for half a day while your hair is tied up, then rinse and continue with your normal wash routine. This gives your hair deep nourishment and a noticeable softness.

A KURO favorite is the Davines OI Hair Butter: a rich, nourishing treatment for all hair types that smooths frizz, restores shine and leaves your hair silky soft. Plus, it smells as good as it performs.

Salon care: treatments that deliver

Home care sets the base, but the real power comes from professional treatments. At KURO we offer a range of treatments designed to give your hair exactly what it needs in winter.

Indy, KURO stylist: “My ultimate hair hack for healthy, fast-growing hair? Scalp care. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp – it’s where your hair grows from. I regularly do a scalp detox to remove product buildup and excess oils. It keeps my scalp fresh, balanced, and creates the best environment for growth. Plus, it gives me more volume at the roots.”

The Hydrating Treatment replenishes moisture in dry strands and restores softness. The Rebuilding Treatment repairs damage and strengthens the fiber from within. For a more tailored approach, explore the Hairspa, an umbrella of advanced rituals that focus on both hair and scalp.

Within the Hairspa you can choose what your hair needs most:

• Rebuilding to reduce frizz and reinforce with keratin and protein

• Hair Loss to strengthen roots and stimulate the scalp

• Rebalancing with clay powders and oils for oily or flaky scalp

• Soothing to calm sensitivity or irritation

• Purifying to fight dandruff and restore long-term balance

Each treatment is designed to go deeper than everyday care and give your hair a visible reset, with results you feel immediately.

If you have extensions or highlights, winter is the time for extra attention. During a maintenance session, your stylist checks not only the application but also the condition of your hair. That way your extensions blend naturally and your hair stays healthy.

Fighting frizz and static

Cold winds, dry air and scarves can make frizz and static your daily battle. To keep it under control, add a light leave-in conditioner to help your hair retain moisture. Brush gently from the ends up with a tool designed to protect your strands. And when it comes to scarves and hats, natural fabrics create less friction than synthetic ones.

Lifestyle: care from within

Winter hair care goes beyond products and treatments. Hydration and nutrition play a big role. Drink enough water, eat omega-rich foods and use a humidifier indoors to fight dry air. And don’t forget the small habits: never step outside with wet hair, and wear your hair in a loose braid under your coat or scarf to avoid tangles.

These choices support your hair from within, making your routine at home and your treatments in the salon more effective.

KURO’s vision: healthy hair, all year round

At KURO, it’s never just about a beautiful color or styling. It’s about the long-term health of your hair. Every decision we make, from Elumen color to deeply nourishing treatments, is about building stronger, healthier strands.
