The Best Shampoo and Conditioner Duos to Use in the Winter

While the colder temperatures of winter means cozy sweaters and warm hats to top off your winter hairstyle, you may forget that along with your wardrobe, you also need to swap some of your skin care and hair care products. Winter hair care calls  for nourishing ingredients and hydrating products, and one of the best ways to get that is with your shampoo and conditioner.

Your shampoo and conditioner are the foundation of your entire hair care routine, and reaching for the right ones is important, especially when it comes to combating the cold, dry, and windy conditions of the winter months. Here, discover four hair care duos to add to your winter hair care routine.

What Type of Shampoo and Conditioner Should I Use In Winter?

If you’re wondering what you should look for when buying a new hair care system for winter, go for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and castor oil. As for what to avoid, stay away from sulfates or salts that will strip your hair of moisture (and color).

L’Oréal Paris Elvive Hyaluron Plump Hydrating Shampoo, Paraben-Free and L’Oréal Paris Elvive Hyaluron + Plump Hydrating Conditioner, Paraben-Free

The plumping power of hyaluronic acid isn’t just for skin care. This duo uses the nourishing ingredient to gently cleanse, hydrate, and replump hair for up to 72 hours, which is important when heading into the dry and cold winter weather. You’ll get all of these hair care benefits without any weigh-down, and the formulas are made for all hair types and textures.

Want even more hydration after shampooing and conditioning? Spray the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Hyaluron + Plump Moisture Plump Serum, Paraben-Free on wet or dry hair to add more moisture and further plump and reshape your strands.

L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate Free Bond Repair Shampoo with Citric Acid and L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate Free Bond Repair Conditioner with Citric Acid

If your hair feels weak or damaged, reach for this strengthening pair. The formulas contains citric acid to penetrate each strand of hair and rebuild weak hair bonds. You'll feel a difference in your hair’s smoothness after just one use, and you won’t have to worry about any harsh ingredients since both products are formulated without sulfates, parabens, or dye. 

If you want even more repair, add the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Bond Strengthening Pre-Shampoo Treatment to your routine. Before shampooing, apply the treatment to damp hair, then let it sit for five to ten minutes. Rinse and follow with your shampoo and conditioner.

L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Moisture Shampoo and L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Moisture Conditioner

This duo is perfect for all hair types, but especially for those that have dry or color-treated hair. The shampoo and conditioner will deeply replenish your strands with twice the moisture of regular cleansers and conditioners, and you can use it without being afraid of your hair color being stripped. The vegan formula is also paraben-, talc-, and dye-free.

L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Curls Moisture Push Shampoo and L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Curls Moisture Seal Conditioner

Nourishing your curls is always important, but it’s even more crucial during the cold winter months. To combat winter conditions that can dry out your hair, this duo will fill curls with moisture. Both products are formulated with castor oil and hyaluronic acid to help lock in long-lasting moisture and help define and sculpt your curls. 

For an extra hydrating boost and to define your strands, apply the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Curls Refresh & Reshape Leave-In Spray to your curls any time of the day.
