In the cold of winter outside, your hair, mixed with dry heat, can often feel drier than a Sahara desert. It’s not just the lack of moisture that makes your hair brittle, but it becomes more fragile and prone to breakage. Instead of wearing a hat to cover your locks throughout the entire winter, there’s a new solution: Ouai Hair Gloss. Ouai is an editor-favorite brand for hair care—we’ve featured their products in our ‘Best Deep Conditioner’ and ‘Best Hair Detangler’ lists.

Hair gloss not only enhances the brightness of your hair but it’s not the only benefit. The product provides thermal protection up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, treating damage caused by heat, so you can blow-dry your hair without causing further harm. Additionally, it is safe for color-treated hair and even helps protect your color from fading. As a bonus, the sweet scent of the brand’s popular North Bondi fragrance lingers, leaving your hair smelling fresh.

To help keep your color brighter for longer, a gloss is made using beet sugar, meaning you can wash your hair without worrying about damaging freshly highlighted strands. It can even save you more time between appointments. It contains panthenol (a form of Vitamin B5) for hydration and hyaluronic acid to help retain moisture in your hair. Besides being color-safe, the gloss can also be used on keratin-treated hair and is free from parabens and sulfates.

You don’t need to be a hair care expert to use the gloss. Here’s what you need to do: wash your hair with your regular shampoo and conditioner, apply the product to your hair, and leave it on for about five minutes. When you rinse it out, your hair will be glossy, smooth, and manageable.

To get relief from dry, brittle hair this winter, try the new hair gloss, and don’t forget to check out other popular Ouai products below, including conditioner, scalp serum, detox shampoo, and much more.
