As we freeze between classes, reluctantly break out our Uggs to stay warm and get horribly wind-blown when we step outside after perfectly styling our hair, it becomes clear winter has arrived with a vengeance. The dry climate at this time of year can wreak havoc on our hair and skin, so I have compiled a survival guide of beauty products to protect us against the elements and help us withstand winter weather.

It is no surprise that changes in temperature can be hair's worst enemy. Cold weather absorbs moisture often making hair brittle, inviting unwelcome visitors like frizz and split ends. To keep tresses under control no matter what your hair type, having a haircare routine focused on moisture during winter is key.

No product line is better than Ojon when it comes to making hair sleek and smooth. This all-natural haircare line uses highly potent plant extracts and exotic oils found in tropical rainforests and helps preserve color so it can be used on treated hair.

For winter, Ojon's Shine & Protect Shampoo will instantly hydrate and revitalize dull strands, while its UV-inhibitors will protect hair against the suns damaging rays. Yes, ladies, sun protection is still vital in the winter, and all of these features create the ultimate shampoo remedy to strengthen hair and help prevent breakage.

Ojon's Shine & Protect Conditioner comes next in the process because unlike most conditioners it is lightweight, so it adds volume to your crown rather than deflating it. With ingredients like sweet almond oil, papaya extract and vitamin E, Ojon's conditioning formula gives hair luscious sheen and an amazing scent. This conditioner contains an antioxidant complex to protect your scalp and strands from environmental damage, and in winter when the elements work against us, that protection is essential.

Besides using a proper shampoo and conditioner, it is imperative during the winter months to have tried and true protection against a well-known nuisance called static. Using brushes made with boar's hair has been known to prevent static, and Chi makes a line of boar's hair paddle and round blow-drying brushes available at Trade Secret stores nationwide. A quick spritz of hairspray can also avert annoying static, but hairspray dries hair causing damage, so if you are looking for a healthier option to help your hair win the battle, look no further than Ojon Shine & Protect Glossing Mist.
