"It was frickin&amp;#x27; freezing here in New York over the weekend. I wore a hat for the first time this season, and I found myself unattractively scratching my itchy scalp at a holiday party Saturday night. My hair, however, is not crunchy and parched (as it usually would be in winter), thanks to the extra-extra-gentle shampoos I switched to about six weeks ago. You guys recently shared some of your techniques for coping with dry winter hair. Like me, some of you only wash your hair every three days or so during the frigid months. When I do wash mine these days, I&amp;#x27;m lathering up with shampoos that are sulfate-free and are designed not to be extra-gentle/not strip away all of the hair&amp;#x27;s natural oils. My two faves: Rusk Sensories Wellness Heal Restorative Shampoo, and Matrix Biolage Delicate Care Shampoo. Both contain argan oil, an ingredient shown to deeply hydrate and protect (some of you say you use it straight-up as a hair conditioner; you can also buy great conditioners and masks from both these collections that contain the ingredient). The Rusk one smells amazing, and I love how the Biolage one has tons of lather even though it&amp;#x27;s sulfate-free. I&amp;#x27;ve shelved my usual thickening shampoo for the season, since it seems to encourage static during this dry weather and doesn&amp;#x27;t have that extra moisturizing oomph. Do you change your shampoo or your hair-washing habits with the seasons? What shampoo are you using right now? Do you notice a big difference when you try different types of shampoos, or does your hair&amp;#x27;s behavior not change that much based on what you lather up with?
