Published date 23 October 2025

Professional-approved haircare essentials your salon needs this winter...
As the temperature is starting to drop and indoor heating ramps up, our hair becomes more prone to breakage, dryness, and dullness. For salon professionals, this makes the perfect time to recommend some retail essentials to help your clients' hair throughout the wintertime to ensure their hair remains in its healthiest form. Here are our winter haircare essentials so your clients can battle their winter hair troubles, whilst helping out with your salon's retail offerings…
L’Oreal Professional Absolut Repair Molecular Range

Get deep hair repair and shine from the inside out this winter! As winter can take a toll on our hair, especially when it’s chemically treated and colour-processed, this can leave the hair brittle and lifeless. This is where the L’Oreal Absolut Repair Molecular range can become a game-changer in your client's routine. Featuring a shampoo, rinse-off serum, and oil, this offers a next-level restoration that rebuilds broken hair bonds at a molecular level.
Why it’s a salon must-have this winter:

- Lightweight, non-greasy finish
- Suitable for all hair types
Pro tip: Recommend your clients this repair trio as a full system to get maximum benefits this winter.
Shed Thirst Quencher Therapy Mask & Shed Tropic Oil
Hydration, hydration, hydration! Having hydrated hair throughout the winter is key, and we have some hydration heroes to solve this. With the change in season comes cold winter weather as well as indoor heating, which can strip away our hair's essential moisture levels. That’s where Shed’s nourishing duo steps in.
Shed Thirst Quencher Therapy Mask:

Powered by Coconut & Argan Oil, this deep repairing therapy mask delivers a deep moisture boost, improves the scalp's health, and leaves the hair feeling silky and strong.
Shed Tropic Oil Melting Hair Whip:

Meet the luxurious hair whip that melts into an oil, including a blend of Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter that tames frizz, enhances shine, and defines curls and waves without weighing down the hair.
amika frizz me not leave-in styler

While the winter weather may be cold, it doesn’t mean the frizz takes a break! Your clients may not know this, but our hair can frizz just as much in the winter as it can in humid conditions. This is due to the lack of moisture in the air, which causes brittleness & dryness. Thankfully, the amika frizz me not leave-in styler doubles as a hydrating conditioner and frizz-taming styler, creating super sleek and manageable results that last for days!
Pro tip: This is the perfect solution for clients with medium to thick, coarse hair types that are prone to frizz. Recommend as a blow-dry prep spray for clients who want their hair to look smooth and achieve a glossy finish.
Wella Professional Ultimate Repair Overnight Serum

Repair your clients' hair while they sleep! Have your clients fight dryness and breakage even in their sleep with the powerful overnight repair serum from Wella. Designed to strengthen and smooth hair overnight, it delivers visible results by morning, meaning hair feels up to 6x softer after one night, and u to 78% breakage after a week.
Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Flatliner Heat Protection Spray

With winter comes excessive heat styling, so making sure your clients have a heat protection spray is more important than ever. The OSiS+ Flatliner Heat Protection Spray provides up to 230°C heat protection that also reduces frizz and keeps the hair looking smooth, sleek and tangle-free. This is the perfect retail must-have for your clients to ensure their hair stays healthy throughout the cold season.
Make this winter the season of self-care for your clients, and why not start with the health of their hair? Take this opportunity to educate clients on the essentials of winter haircare and encourage them to take home products that can extend their salon results. With the right winter essentials, your clients can keep their locks looking luxurious all season long.
