Planning a winter getaway or ski trip? If you wear Halo hair extensions, cold weather, dry air, and helmets can be just as challenging for your hair as black ice is for beginners on the slopes.
The good news: Halo extensions are one of the best hair extension options for winter and ski season—if you care for them correctly. Let’s learn how to care for halo extensions during winter and ski trips together.
Are Halo Hair Extensions Good for Winter and Ski Trips?
Yes. Halo hair extensions are ideal for winter and ski season.
- Adhesive-free (nothing to freeze or harden in cold weather)
- Removable (you can take them off anytime)
- Tension-free (no stress on a dry, sensitive scalp)
- Low maintenance compared to tape-ins or sew-ins
They are especially winter-friendly because they are:
Unlike permanent extensions, Halo hair isn’t exposed to constant friction, sweat, or temperature shifts—making it safer for cold climates.
Why Is Winter Hard on Hair (Including Halo Extensions)?
Winter creates a low-humidity environment, which affects both natural hair and extensions.
Common winter hair issues include:
- Dryness and static
- Frizz and flyaways
- Increased tangling
- Brittle ends and breakage
Halo extensions need extra care because they don’t receive natural oils from the scalp, making moisture protection essential.
How to Prepare Halo Hair Extensions Before Skiing
1. Deep Condition Before Your Ski Day
Apply a sulfate-free, extension-safe hair mask the night before skiing.
Focus on the mid-lengths and ends, not the wire.
Why this matters: Pre-hydrated hair resists cold damage and static better.
2. Use Protective Hairstyles
Before putting on a helmet or beanie:
Low braid or ponytail, loose low bun
These styles reduce friction and prevent matting under winter gear.
3. Apply Leave-In Moisture (Lightly)
Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner or a few drops of oil on the ends only.
Avoid the wire area to prevent slipping.
How to Care for Halo Extensions While Skiing
Should You Wear Halo Hair Down While Skiing?
No. Always keep your hair secured while skiing.
Wind, snow, and cold air cause severe tangling and dehydration when hair is loose.
1. Reduce Friction Inside Hats & Helmets
If possible, line your helmet or hat with:
- Silk scarf
- Satin liner
These materials reduce static and breakage compared to wool or acrylic.
2. Keep Hair Dry
If your hair gets damp from snow or sweat:
- Gently blot with a microfiber towel
- Never rub or twist
- Let it air dry fully before detangling
How to Care for Halo Extensions After Skiing
1. Detangle Gently
Use a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and moving upward.
Hold the hair near the wire to avoid tension.
2. Wash Only When Necessary
You don’t need to shampoo the halo hair after every ski day. Best options:
Co-wash (cleansing conditioner)
Mild, sulfate-free shampoo
Let the suds rinse through the extensions naturally.
3. Deep Condition After Washing
Leave conditioner or mask on for 5–10 minutes, then rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle and boost shine.
4. Air Dry Whenever Possible
Air drying is safest after cold exposure.
If blow-drying is necessary:
Use low heat
Always apply heat protectant
How to Store Halo Hair Extensions in Winter
Store your Halo:
- In a breathable pouch
- Away from heaters or radiators
- Completely dry and detangled
Extreme indoor dryness can weaken hair fibers over time.
Conclusion
Ski season doesn’t have to mean dull, tangled hair. With proper care, Halo hair extensions stay soft, shiny, and manageable—even in freezing temperatures.
Because they’re removable, lightweight, and adhesive-free, Halo extensions remain one of the safest and smartest hair extension choices for winter travel.
Enjoy the slopes—and your halo-worthy hair—all season long.
