Try this hairdresser's hack in your next hair mask for added bang for buck

Hairdresser tips aimed at winter styling emphasize moisture and friction control. The article notes that cold, windy and wet weather can damage hair texture, and that frequent hot showers, blow-drying, and higher heat exposure increase static electricity—leading to frizz and flyaways. It recommends using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, plus a weekly hydrating mask. A simple “bang for buck” hack is adding a few drops of hair oil to the mask. For blow-drying, it suggests holding the dryer above the head so the hot air flows down the cuticle and finishing with the cool-shot function to seal it. For the scalp, it advises a salt scrub weekly with a scalp massager. Colorist Damien Rayner also recommends applying leave-in conditioning to damp hair as a barrier against elements and heat, reducing breakage from friction.
