Winter self care…..the essentials

Embrace Winter with Organic, Vegan Self-Care: Tips from Your Favourite Hair Salon

As the temperature drops and the days shorten, winter can be a challenging time for body, mind, and spirit. At our organic, vegan hair salon, we believe in embracing the season by focusing on self-care and kindness. Here are our top winter self-care tips to maintain your health and happiness through the colder months.

Nourish Your Body from the Inside Out

Winter Diet: Winter is the perfect time to savour warming, hearty meals. Keep your diet packed with seasonal organic produce like root vegetables, citrus fruits, and leafy greens. In Scotland, we are lucky to have a lot of access to turnips, carrots and potatoes! These make n awesome hearty soup on a cold day. Essential veggies provide vitamins and minerals to boost your immune system. And don’t forget herbal teas – they’re a fantastic way to stay hydrated and warm.

Hydration: Cold weather can make it easy to forget to drink water. Keep a reusable water bottle with you and sip throughout the day. Herbal teas and warm lemon water are excellent choices, too.

Tend to Your Skin and Hair

Skin Care: The dry winter air can wreak havoc on your skin. Opt for rich, organic moisturisers packed with natural ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and plant-based hyaluronic acid. Don't forget your lips and hands, as they are often the most exposed.

Hair Care: Hair can become dry and brittle in the winter. Our salon recommends nourishing your locks with vegan hair masks and treatments from Oway that are free from harsh chemicals. Consider booking a moisturising treatment with us to keep your hair strong and shiny.

Scalp Health: A healthy scalp is the foundation of great hair. Organic scalp treatments can hydrate and soothe any winter dryness or itchiness. We offer a range of products that are both vegan and sustainable for maintaining scalp health.

Cosy Up Your Environment

Home Comforts: Create a warm and inviting space in your home. Soft blankets, warm lighting, and candles scented with essential oils can make a world of difference. Consider incorporating elements of nature, like plants and wooden furnishings, to bring a sense of calm and serenity.

Mindfulness Practice: Winter is a great time for introspection and mindfulness. Set aside moments each day for meditation, journaling, or simply reflecting on things you’re grateful for. These practices can significantly improve mental well-being.

Exercise: Staying active is vital, even in winter. Opt for indoor exercises like yoga, Pilates, or even dance. These activities can help keep your energy levels up and maintain your mental health.

Spread Kindness

Community Involvement: Winter is a wonderful time to give back. Look for local volunteer opportunities or ways to help neighbours who may need extra support during this season. Spreading kindness can warm your heart and improve your community.

Kind Words: Sometimes, the simplest act of kindness can make the most difference. A compliment or a kind word to a friend, family member, or even a stranger can brighten someone's day.
