Your Go-To Guide for Windproof Hairstyles This Winter

As temperatures drop and winter weather intensifies by the hour, we’re in full scramble mode to winter-proof our beauty routines from head to toe. From switching to a richer moisturizer and a glowier foundation to adopting a more nourishing hair-care regimen, we’re pulling out all the stops to combat winter beauty woes.

One of the trickiest beauty challenges this time of year is coming up with winter and element-proof hairstyles that keep your strands in place while still letting you look and feel your best. For expert advice, we tapped celebrity hairstylist Kennedy Trisler, who shared her go-to tips and product recommendations to keep your hairstyles windproof all season long.

What Are the Best Windproof Hairstyles?

As you might well assume, Trisler recommends anything sleek and out-of-the-way for windproof hairstyles. "When it comes to windproof hairstyles, a sleek, slicked back updo is a great way to style your hair," she says. "Anything that is tight and out of the face will last all day and night." That doesn't mean you're bound to a ponytail, though; a quick TikTok search for slicked-back hairstyles will show you just how vast your options are, from playful braids to sophisticated buns and even claw-clip styles.

The Best Products and Styling Tips for Windproof Hairstyles

The secret to truly windproof hair lies in a curated styling routine. "Using strong hold hairsprays and wax or pomade sticks like the Tancho Vegetable Pomade ($12) or R+Co Vicious Strong Hold Flexible Hairspray ($37) to keep the flyaways down is key," Trisler explains. "Using accessories like fun pins and clips are a great way to jazz up any look and they’ll also help to keep the hair in place against the wind," she adds.
