❄️ Why You Still Need Suntied in Cold Weather?

Winter/Autumn in Australia might bring cooler days, but don’t stash your leave-in just yet. Crisp winds, dry indoor heating, and UV rays still pose a serious threat to your hair’s health.

Even in August, ARPANSA records moderate to high UV levels across much of the country. That means hydration + UV protection are year-round essentials, especially for colour-treated, textured, or fine strands.

Suntied UV Protect + Repair Leave-In Conditioner Spray continues to work overtime in winter, sealing in moisture and softness while shielding from damaging UV exposure.

Understanding Winter Frizz

Wondering why your hair feels drier, frizzier, or more brittle in winter? It’s not your imagination:

Dry air + heating: Sucks moisture from your hair’s cortex.

Wind: Lifts the cuticle layer and causes tangling.

Beanies/scarves: Create friction and breakage.

pH matters: Low pH care (3.5–5.5) seals cuticles, locking in hydration and shine.

Your Everyday Winter Routine with Suntied

1. Morning Refresh (Non-Wash Day)

Lightly mist dry hair with water or rosewater.

Spray Suntied root to tip (4–6 pumps for medium-length).

Use fingers or a boar bristle brush to distribute evenly.

Air dry or warm blast for smoothing.

2. Wash Day Protocol

Use a low pH shampoo; focus on the scalp.

Apply a conditioner or mask (pH ≈ 4), detangle under water.

Blot excess moisture (no rough towel drying).

Apply Suntied to damp hair, mid-lengths to ends.

Style with medium heat or diffuse curls, finish with a cool shot.

3. Midday Static Fix

Keep a travel-size bottle of Suntied in your bag. Two light sprays tame flyaways without greasiness.
