Winter is coming, and so is the dreaded dry, brittle hair season. If you’re anything like me, you’ve noticed that when the temperature drops and the air turns crisp, your hair starts to feel like straw. It’s not just your imagination—winter weather is notoriously harsh on your hair, and without a little TLC, it can quickly turn into a frizzy, lifeless mess.
But fear not, because I’m here to share the secret weapon that will save your locks: hair oiling.
In this article, we’ll dive into why your hair gets so parched in the winter and why some scalps— those with eczema or extra-sensitive skin—need moisture more than ever. Plus, I’m introducing you to a game-changing oil treatment from Ren Jord that will keep your hair lush, shiny, and hydrated all winter long.Â
Ready for some hair magic? Let’s go!
Why Does Winter Turn My Hair Into a Dried-Out Nightmare?
Here’s the scoop: in winter, the air outside gets dry and cold, and indoor heating makes it worse. That means your hair (and scalp) are essentially being blasted with dry, moisture-sucking air all day long. Without proper moisture, your hair becomes weak and prone to frizz, breakage, and split ends.
But wait, it’s not just the weather.Â
Winter also has a sneaky way of drying out your scalp, leading to flakes, itching, and a serious lack of moisture. And if you have eczema, psoriasis, or a sensitive scalp like me, the cold weather can really exacerbate things, leaving you scratching your head (literally).Â
That’s where a nourishing oil treatment comes in.
Who Needs Extra Moisture? You, Your Scalp, and Everyone Else
Not all scalps are created equal, and some need a little more love and moisture during the winter. Here are the folks who’ll benefit most from a good oiling session:
Dry or Sensitive Scalp: If your scalp tends to be dry year-round, winter can be especially harsh. You might notice more flakes, irritation, or an overall tight, uncomfortable feeling. Moisturizing oils are your best friend in this case.
Eczema or Psoriasis: If you have these conditions, the cold can really ramp up irritation on your scalp. A nourishing oil treatment can calm inflammation and prevent further dryness.
Damaged or Chemically-Treated Hair: Those who color, bleach, or chemically treat their hair know the struggle of keeping hair hydrated. Winter just makes everything worse. Oiling will help seal in moisture and prevent your strands from becoming even more fragile.
Whether you’ve got a flaky scalp or hair that feels like it’s been baking in the desert for a few months, oiling is your secret weapon for winter hair health.

It’s basically the superfood smoothie your hair has been craving.
The Benefits of This Magical Elixir

Seals in Moisture and Promotes Growth: This oil doesn’t just sit on your hair’s surface. It actually penetrates to seal in moisture, making your strands smoother and shinier while stimulating hair growth. Plus, it helps keep your hair in its growth phase longer (yay for longer hair!).

How to Use: A Little Goes a Long Way
Ren Jord’s Renewing Oil Treatment is super versatile, so you can use it in a couple of different ways depending on your hair’s mood (we all know our hair can be moody, right?).
Daily Shine & Protection: For a little extra shine and to keep your ends from looking like dried-up spaghetti, apply a few drops to wet or dry ends. It’ll give your hair that glossy finish and also act as a heat protectant when you style.
Deep-Conditioning Mask: If your hair needs some real TLC, use the oil as a deep conditioning mask. Apply it to your scalp and hair, massage it in, and leave it on for 30 minutes (or overnight if you're feeling extra). Afterward, just cleanse and condition as usual, and prepare to be wowed by your smooth, shiny, healthy strands.
