As winter settles across Canada, our hair faces one of its toughest challenges of the year. The cold, dry air outdoors combined with heated indoor spaces can strip away moisture, leaving hair brittle, frizzy, and prone to breakage.
Luckily, a few smart product swaps and treatments can make all the difference. Whether you’re battling static, dullness, or dryness, these KEVIN.MURPHY favourites—and targeted scalp care from Ethica Beauty—will help keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and beautiful all season long.
1. Replenish Essential Hydration
Dry winter air can deplete your hair’s natural oils. Start by washing with KEVIN.MURPHY HYDRATE-ME.WASH and HYDRATE-ME.RINSE, two hydrating essentials designed for moisture-starved hair. Infused with Kakadu Plum, these antioxidant-rich formulas boost shine, smooth rough cuticles, and add a silky softness.
For deeper nourishment, apply HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE once or twice weekly. It’s one of the best hydrating hair masks in Canada, providing an instant infusion of moisture that helps repair winter damage.
2. Repair and Strengthen Winter-Weary Strands
Cold temperatures and constant hat-wearing can weaken hair over time. Rebuild strength and elasticity with KEVIN.MURPHY REPAIR-ME.WASH and REPAIR-ME.RINSE, enriched with bamboo and silk amino acids to restore damaged cuticles.
Follow up with LEAVE-IN.REPAIR before styling. This lightweight leave-in treatment provides thermal protection, reduces breakage, and keeps your hair soft and strong through the cold months.
3. Smooth, Soften & Eliminate Static
Static and frizz are common winter frustrations. To keep hair polished and sleek, apply KEVIN.MURPHY SMOOTH.AGAIN or YOUNG.AGAIN leave-in treatment to damp or dry hair. These nutrient-rich formulas deliver long-lasting smoothness while sealing in hydration.
Add a few spritzes of SHIMMER.SHINE for a radiant, glossy finish—ideal for reviving dull hair after a day of battling the elements.
4. Support Scalp Health with Ethica Beauty
A healthy scalp is key to beautiful winter hair. If you notice dryness, flaking, or thinning, try Ethica Beauty’s Corrective Topical and Ageless Topical Treatments. These advanced, gender-neutral formulas stimulate the scalp, support healthy hair growth, and help balance moisture levels without heaviness or buildup.
Apply daily to clean, towel-dried hair to nourish the scalp and enhance overall vitality—an essential step for anyone dealing with seasonal shedding or lack of volume.
5. Protect and Prep Before Styling
Before stepping into the cold or heat styling, prep your hair with KEVIN.MURPHY EVER.SMOOTH or UN.TANGLED. These lightweight leave-in sprays reduce static, defend against environmental stress, and make detangling easier while maintaining shine and manageability.
They’re your winter protection shield—perfect for keeping your style intact despite the temperature swings.
6. Treat Yourself to Weekly TLC
Even the healthiest hair benefits from extra pampering during winter. For deep rejuvenation, use KEVIN.MURPHY YOUNG.AGAIN.MASQUE or ANGEL.MASQUE once a week. Both deliver intense hydration, repair, and strength, leaving hair soft, supple, and full of life.
Pair this self-care ritual with a warm towel wrap to help the treatment penetrate deeply and give yourself a true salon-quality experience at home.
Shine Through the Canadian Winter
Harsh winters don’t have to mean dull, lifeless hair. With the right care routine—and the help of professional-quality products from KEVIN.MURPHY and Ethica Beauty—you can keep your hair nourished, strong, and radiant from root to tip.
