3. Stepping up scalp care

Just as colder temperatures and days spent in central-heated offices can leave the skin on your face feeling dry, these conditions can do the same to your scalp. So, to keep my scalp feeling as comfortable as possible, I’ve started applying a scalp serum (I like Kérastase Nutritive Nutri-Supplement Scalp Serum , £45.80) after every hair wash. I use the dropper to concentrate it on my scalp when my hair is wet, massage it in, and smooth the remainder through the lengths of my hair. Moisturised but not greasy is the end result.

4. Upping the oil

Whether it’s the changing temperatures or the fact that I’m constantly taking a coat on and off, the ends of my hair feel dryer in winter, too. To tackle this, I’ve taken to applying an oil to the bottom third of my hair every night before bed. Moroccanoil, £36.45, is my favourite for this but, to be honest, any kind of oil will do; I’ve even been known to use a bit of the rosehip oil I usually apply to my face. In short: the purpose here is simply nourishment. If your hair is as dry as mine is, by the morning, it will have absorbed these few pumps overnight and be left feeling much less brittle.

5. Leaning on masks

This is something I should be doing all year round but never manage to do during the summer (if my hairdresser is reading this, I’m sorry). However, I’ve found that long, dark evenings spent watching cosy TV are the perfect opportunity to use a hair mask. I like to apply mine in the evening, brush it through using my WetBrush, sleep with it in and wash out in the morning. If I keep it up, my winter hair curse should be broken in no time.
