The Winter Hair Reset - How to Keep Your Hair Soft, Hydrated & Thriving This Season

The biggest winter mistake for natural hair?

Still using your summer routine. ❄️

Cold air outside + indoor heating inside = rapid moisture loss.

Your hair doesn’t just need care - it needs comfort and protection.

Here’s how to keep your curls soft, hydrated, and thriving this season. 

1. Start With Hydration - Use Warm Water, Not Cold

Cold water forces the cuticles to close, blocking hydration from entering the hair shaft.

Warm (never hot) water gently opens the cuticle so moisturisers can actually penetrate.

Try:

• A warm water mist
• A warm towel
• A gentle steamer session

✨ Let your strands drink before you feed them.

2. Switch to the LCO Method (Liquid → Cream → Oil)

Winter requires more intentional layering.

• Liquid = hydration
• Cream = softness + nourishment
• Oil = protection + sealing

Your perfect LCO lineup:

🥣 Liquid: Warm water or a hydrating mist

🍶 Cream: KEMDII Lengthening Conditioning Cream - rich, smoothing, and intensely hydrating with a special ingredient to support hair growth

💧 Oil: BLÜOM Hair & Scalp Oil - nourishes and seals in moisture without heaviness

This trio keeps your hair hydrated for days, even in dry winter air.

3.  Deep Condition & Repair More Often

Aim for every 1–2 weeks.

For a winter repair treatment, include:

• A rich deep conditioner for moisture
• Strengthening masks when needed
• And for the scalp…
  👉 KEMDII HydraRepair Scalp Cream - a soothing, hydrating, barrier-repair treatment that prevents dryness, flaking, and irritation during cold weather

This keeps both your scalp and strands protected and resilient.

4. Pre-Cleanse to Protect Your Scalp Barrier

Your scalp is the foundation of hair health - especially in winter.

Before washing:

1. Massage a lightweight oil into your scalp
2. Leave it on for 20–30 minutes
3. Then cleanse as usual

Why it works:

• Protects the scalp barrier from surfactants
• Reduces post-wash dryness
• Minimises irritation
• Supports circulation and healthy growth 

→ BLÜOM Hair & Scalp Oil is ideal for this step: nutrient-rich, soothing, and barrier-protective.

5. Build a Night Time Scalp & Hair Recovery Routine

Your scalp’s renewal cycle peaks overnight.

For maximum winter repair:

• Apply your moisturiser or oil before bed
• Wrap with a silk scarf + bonnet
• Sleep on a satin pillowcase if possible

✨ Wake up to softer strands and a calmer, deeply nourished scalp - the winter soft life.
