Add-Ons With Big Impact on Winter Hair Health
Winter in Wisconsin is beautiful, but it’s also one of the harshest seasons for your hair. Dry indoor heat, cold air, hard water, and static can leave even the healthiest strands feeling brittle, dull, STATIC or hard to style. The good news: a few targeted in-salon add-ons can completely shift how your hair looks and feels all season long.
At White Brick Salon, we build our menu around treatments that deliver fast, visible results—without complicating your routine. These add-ons are designed to strengthen, hydrate, remove buildup, and bring back that glossy, healthy look that’s so hard to maintain in Midwest winters.
Here are the treatments our team recommends most this time of year, why they work, and who benefits the most from each.
The Detox
Winter is prime time for metal and mineral buildup. Hard water, well water, constant cleansing, and yet not sweating as much as warmer months leave residue on the hair that blocks moisture, dulls your color, and makes styling feel impossible.
The Detox gently removes the copper, mineral, and environmental buildup that interfere with shine and hydration.
Best for:
Well water or hard-water homes
Anyone whose hair feels “coated,” rough, or weighed down
Clients noticing their blonde turning darker or muddier
Anyone prepping for a color service
Why it matters in winter:
Buildup makes dryness, often paired with itchiness or flaky scalp, worse. Removing it allows your conditioner, mask, and color to actually do their job.
The Malibu
This treatment takes clarifying one level deeper. A luxurious detox for your hair that restores its natural shine and vitality. Ideal for hard water damage, product buildup, or dullness, this treatment uses crystalized vitamin C to cleanse and nourish, leaving your hair softer, healthier, and more vibrant. Perfect for both natural and chemically treated hair, it enhances color longevity and manageability, giving you refreshed, radiant locks for weeks.
Best for:
Clients who travel often
Blondes who keep battling brass
Anyone whose hair feels stiff or matte
Winter impact:
Indoor heat and mineral-heavy shower water are a tough combination. This service resets the hair so your winter hydrating routine works far better.
K18 Molecular Repair
Heat, highlights, cold wind, and over-washing all take a toll. K18 is one of the most powerful repair treatments available—it works at the molecular level to reverse damage caused by bleach, color, heat, and environmental stress.
Best for:
Blondes
Anyone regularly heat-styling
Clients with breakage or fragile ends
Those trying to grow their hair out
Winter impact:
When the air is dry, damage shows faster. K18 keeps hair strong, elastic, and soft, even on bitter weather days.
Leave-In Serum
This is one of the simplest, most instantly helpful add-ons for winter. Great for frizzy, dull hair that lacks shine and feels rough to the touch. Honestly, great for nearly everyone, when applied correctly.
This serum glides on like silk, disappearing instantly while leaving hair with mirror-like shine and featherlight smoothness. No grease. No weight. Just a polished finish that feels as refined as it looks.
Best for:
All hair types, especially finer hair that hates heavy products
Anyone battling static, frizz or flyaways
Clients wanting an easy daily routine
Extension clients
Those needing heat protection properties (and UV defense) in one step
Winter impact:
A daily leave-in is essential when humidity drops. Personalized formulas ensure you get moisture without weight.
Hand Paraffin + Massage
Winter hair health isn’t only about the hair—it’s also about how you feel in the chair. A warm paraffin dip softens dry skin, improves circulation, and brings a grounding moment into your appointment.
Best for:
Anyone with dry hands from cold weather
Clients wanting a relaxing add-on during color processing
Guests who love elevated touchpoints
Winter impact:
Cold-weather dryness is real. This small luxury makes your appointment feel restorative while supporting circulation and relaxation.
Mini Updo + Makeup Touch-Up
These quick add-ons aren’t about hair health—but they’re perfect for winter events, dinners, and gatherings. When static and dryness make styling at home frustrating, a mini updo or soft polished look can save time and elevate your whole evening.
Best for:
Family photos
Holiday plans
Work events
Nights out during the cold months
Winter impact:
Your hair behaves differently in winter. A polished, humidity-proof style can take the stress out of getting ready.
The Bottom Line
Winter is the season where small upgrades make a huge difference. Whether you need a deeper detox, a serious repair moment, or just a styling touch-up that works with cold-weather texture, these add-ons help your hair look and feel its best with minimal effort.
If you’re booking in December or January, ask your stylist—or book with one of our assistants—for guidance on which add-on would support your hair the most this season.
