What the Weather Is Doing to Your Hair
Here's What You Can Do:
While Perth winters are milder than most, the mix of cooler temps outside and toasty heaters inside creates a perfect storm for parched, lifeless strands—especially if you’re a time-poor, health-conscious mum navigating post-partum hair changes.
1. The Cold-Weather Chemistry Lesson
|
Winter Trigger |
What Happens Inside the Hair |
Visible Fallout |
|
Low ambient humidity |
Water molecules escape the cortex; protein chains stiffen |
Rough texture, loss of elasticity |
|
Rapid temp shifts (outdoor → indoor) |
Cuticle scales lift and can crack |
Frizz, split ends, colour fade |
|
Static from wool & synthetics |
Electrons build on the surface |
Flyaways, breakage mid-shaft |
2. Everyday Habits That Make It Worse
-
Steamy, extra-hot showers: melt away the scalp’s protective sebum.
-
Rough towel-drying or skipping heat protection: micro-cracks the cuticle.
-
Neglecting trims: split ends creep upward faster in dry air.
3. Salon-Strength, Low-Tox Solutions
-
Hydro-Infusion Steam Treatment – raises moisture levels inside the cortex by 15 % in one session using Natulique® Moisture Masque.
-
Botanical Acid Glaze – Natulique® Colour Shield closes the cuticle for mirror shine without silicones.
-
Bond-Friendly Colour Refresh – our low-tox lightener buffered with arginine keeps blondes bright and intact.
-
Invisible Micro Keratin Extensions – add density and act as a “sacrificial shield” against scarf friction for fine, post-partum hair.
4. The At-Home Layering Ritual (5 Minutes, Zero Toxins)
-
Cleanse: Natulique® Moisture Hairwash—antioxidant-rich aloe + olive leaf.
-
Condition: Natulique® Moisture Conditioner with vegan keratin for slip-without-silicones.
-
Treat: Weekly EverEscents® Organic Deep Treatment to replenish lost lipids.
-
Seal: 2–3 drops Natulique® Argan Oil from mid-lengths down.
-
Defend: Silk pillowcase + loose braid = friction-free nights.
Pro tip: Keep shower temp under 38 °C; your cuticle will thank you.
