Arizona’s winters are deceptively harsh on your hair. Between cold desert winds, dry indoor heat, and low humidity, moisture levels drop, leaving hair brittle, frizzy, and prone to breakage. That’s why winter is the perfect season to update your haircare routine and schedule a deep-nourishing treatment at Salon Blonde in Marana.
Here’s your stylist-approved guide to keeping your hair hydrated, shiny, and strong all season long, featuring Aveda and Back of Bottle, two of our most trusted home-care lines.
1. Why Winter Hair Needs Extra Care
Winter’s dryness doesn’t just affect your skin, your hair and scalp lose vital hydration too. The result? Static, frizz, and dullness. To combat this, you need products that hydrate, rebuild, and protect your hair’s natural structure.
The solution starts with gentle cleansing, nutrient-rich conditioning, and regular deep treatments, both at home and in the salon. Using the right formulas can make the difference between brittle strands and healthy, luminous hair all winter long.
2. Aveda’s Winter Haircare Heroes

6. Expert Stylist Tips for Winter Hair Health
- Shampoo less frequently: 2–3 times a week to preserve natural oils.
- Use lukewarm water: Hot water strips essential moisture.
- Add a weekly mask: Use Aveda Botanical Repair Mask or Back of Bottle Bond-Repair Mask every 5–7 days.
- Sleep on silk: Reduces friction and frizz overnight.
- Protect before heat: Always apply a thermal protectant like Back of Bottle Leave-In before blow-drying or styling.
