What’s not to love about winter? Holidays here and there, parties, and tons of gifts. If we’re talking about your hair, though, it’s not the best season. Between the dry, cold air and the endless layering of wool scarves, your tresses (and Halo hair extensions) can turn into a tangled mess faster than you can say “eggnog, please.”
But, this is why we’re here! We’ll help you glide through winter with smooth, tangle-free hair with the best winter haircare and extensions tips. Keep reading below.
Why Does Your Hair (and Extensions) Tangle?
You may be skipping some important hair maintenance steps like regularly washing your extensions and detangling your hair. Plus, winter always brings:
- Dry Air: If summer’s excess humidity was bad, winter’s lack of moisture is just as horrible. It actually sucks the hydration right out of your hair, leaving it brittle and prone to matting.
- The Need to Wear Scarves and Coats: These cosy essentials are great for staying warm but, not so great for your mane. The friction from wool and other heavy fabrics can cause knots and breakage.
- Windy Weather: Winter winds whip your hair around, creating a recipe for tangles—especially if you’re wearing your hair down.
Not to mention, wearing poor quality hair extensions leads to tangling and excess shedding. For any season, it’s best to always invest in the best you quality hair extensions, like The Halo. They’re super gentle on your hair and are actually designed to minimise your winter hair problems.

How to Prevent and Manage Winter Hair Tangles
If you already have The Halo extensions, love every second you’re wearing it, but still end up with a few knots and tangles, don’t worry. We have the top tips to keep your hair (and extensions) smooth and silky all season long.
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Dry hair is more prone to tangling, so hydration is key. Swap your regular conditioner for a deeply hydrating one, and consider adding a weekly hair mask to your routine. Look for ingredients like argan oil or keratin to lock in moisture.
Tip: Don’t forget your Halo extensions! Use a sulfate-free, hydrating conditioner on them to keep them soft and tangle-free.
2. Wear Your Hair Up
When you’re bundling up with scarves and coats, wearing your hair down is practically an invitation for tangles. Opt for chic updos like a low bun, braided ponytail, or a sleek top knot. Not only will these styles protect your hair, but they’ll also keep your extensions in place.
3. Use a Silk Scarf
Silk is your hair’s best friend, not just in winter, but in any season! It reduces friction between your strands and the fabric, helping prevent tangling, frizz, and breakage. Just layer a silk scarf between your hair and your coat or scarf, and you’ll immediately notice a difference.
4. Detangle Like a Pro
The right tools make all the difference. Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently work through knots, starting from the ends and working your way up. For extra stubborn tangles, spritz on a detangling spray or leave-in conditioner.
Remember, always detangle your Halo extensions before and after wearing them to keep them in pristine condition.
5. Protect Your Hair Overnight
Don’t let your hard work go to waste while you sleep. Use a silk pillowcase or wrap your hair in a silk scarf to minimise friction and tangling overnight. Your morning self will thank you.
6. Combat Static
Static is another winter hair nemesis that can lead to tangles. Keep a travel-sized bottle of anti-static spray or a smoothing serum in your bag to tame flyaways on the go. Rubbing a dryer sheet lightly over your hair can also work in a pinch!
7. Trim Those Ends
Split ends are more likely to tangle, so regular trims are a must. Schedule a quick cut every 6-8 weeks to keep your ends healthy and your hair tangle-free.
8. Store Your Halo Extensions Properly
When you’re not wearing your Halo extensions, store them in their protective case or a designated hair extension hanger. This prevents unnecessary tangling and keeps them looking healthy and shiny.
9. Seek Professional Help (When Necessary)
If the matting or tangling becomes severe, it’s best to get help from a hairstylist ASAP. They have the tools and expertise to safely detangle Halo hair extensions without causing damage. Plus, regular salon visits always help maintain the health and longevity of your extensions!
