Essential Winter Hair Care Tips for Healthy Locks

Tips from The Retreat Salon & Day Spa

Winter weather can be tough on your hair. Cold air outside and dry heated air indoors strip moisture from your strands, leading to frizz, breakage, dullness, and scalp irritation. But with thoughtful care and professional treatments, you can keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and beautiful all season long.

At The Retreat Salon & Day Spa in Sandpoint, Idaho, our stylists specialize in services designed to restore moisture, strengthen hair, and soothe the scalp so you can feel confident and comfortable no matter the weather.

1. Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment: Restore Moisture & Shine

One of the best ways to combat winter dryness is with a Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment at The Retreat. This service is available as an add-on to any hair service for $30, or you can book it with wash and style included for $60. The Retreat

Deep conditioning treatments work by infusing your hair with rich, nourishing ingredients that help:

• Replenish lost moisture

• Strengthen weak or brittle strands

• Smooth frizz and boost shine

• Improve manageability after styling

Whether your hair is color-treated, naturally dry, or just in need of some seasonal TLC, this treatment provides intensive hydration that you simply can’t get from shampoo and conditioner alone.

💡 Pro tip: Add a deep conditioning treatment to your next cut or color appointment. It’s an easy way to maximize your service and keep your hair looking its best through the winter months.

2. Conditioning Scalp Treatment: Soothe & Nourish from the Root

Healthy hair starts at the scalp, especially in winter when dryness and irritation can lead to flakiness and discomfort. The Retreat’s Dry Scalp Relief Treatment is another excellent add on (also $30 with a service or $60 with wash and style included) that focuses on the often overlooked foundation of beautiful hair.

This treatment helps:

• Calm dryness and itchiness

• Gently exfoliate and remove buildup

• Stimulate blood flow for improved scalp health

• Support stronger hair growth

  
  

By nourishing the scalp, you’re creating a healthier environment for your hair to thrive. This is perfect for anyone who experiences irritation or tightness during the winter months.

3. Everyday Winter Hair Care Tips

In addition to professional treatments, here are a few simple but effective ways to protect your hair at home:

Limit hot tools or use a heat protectant. Too much heat styling can make dryness worse. Switch to a sulfate

free shampoo and rich conditioner. These help preserve natural oils. Avoid over washing. Shampooing too often strips moisture; aim for 2–3 times per week. Use a silk or satin pillowcase. These reduce friction and help maintain smooth strands.
