However, your hairstyle doesn&#39;t stand a chance against cozy scarves, wool turtlenecks, and satin shawls. When you shed your winter layers, your hair suffers some collateral damage. But there&#39;s no need to sacrifice comfort or style. You can stay warm and sport a beautiful hairstyle, provided you follow these simple rules.<\/p>\n<h2> The secret of the pros: opt for &quot;hair-friendly&quot; materials<\/h2>\n<p> In this cold weather, a scarf is a welcome addition to any outfit. It protects against gusts of wind, cushions the morning chill, and envelops the neck in softness. It almost makes us forget the season&#39;s low temperatures. However, despite its many benefits, this soft accessory, which provides warmth and comfort, can sometimes be the downside of our look. The scarf is responsible for the biggest hair problem of winter. When we take it off, our hair is full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/beaute\/conseils-astuces\/electricite-statique-gestes-simples-sauve-cheveux-424116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">of static electricity<\/a> and gives shocks to anyone who touches it.<\/p>\n<p>The scarf nicely barricades the neck, but it completely ruins our hairstyle. Judging by our appearance, you&#39;d think we&#39;d had a fight with a grizzly bear on the trail or braved a blizzard. However, there&#39;s no way we&#39;re going out in this freezing cold with our neck exposed. You might not know it, but the scarf isn&#39;t just for looks. It protects you against nasty colds by creating a point of warmth on a particularly vulnerable area of your body.<\/p>\n<p>The problem? Rough fabrics like raw wool or acrylic cause friction, which generates static electricity, breakage, and immediate flattening. To keep your neck warm without ruining all your hard-working hairstyles, opt for scarves made from hair-friendly materials. Forget cheap scarves from the flea market; choose more luxurious versions in cashmere, merino wool, or down. Another chic and practical alternative is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/beaute\/conseils-astuces\/bienfaits-beaute-dormir-linge-satin-356658\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">satin<\/a> shawl. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cz_HnUWt2UC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\"> View this post on Instagram <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"> <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cz_HnUWt2UC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Angelina fashion stylist (@angelinaplsh)<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2> Detachable collars: the Danish trick that preserves volume and style<\/h2>\n<p> To combine practicality with style and protect your neck without ruining your hairstyle, swap your bulky scarf for a detachable collar. These faux collars, which give the illusion of wearing a blouse underneath, are ubiquitous in Scandinavian fashion. In short: they&#39;re improved neck warmers.<\/p>\n<p>Whether made of fleece, wool, knit, or other fabrics, plain, patterned, or zippered, they provide the same warmth as a fluffy scarf, but with the added benefit of leaving more room for your hair. They slip easily under coats, effectively warming the nape of the neck and upper torso without ever touching the lengths of your hair. They might just be the best hair-ruining innovation of recent years. And unlike scarves, which you never quite know how to style or tie, detachable collars are all you need to elevate an outfit. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CI05AW-h9D1\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\"> View this post on Instagram <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"> <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CI05AW-h9D1\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Domiziana (@domisferra)<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2> Strategic hairstyles that don&#39;t flatten<\/h2>\n<p> This is certainly the most obvious tip for keeping your neck warm without damaging your hair: style it consciously. Instead of repeating the same mistake every morning and leaving your hair loose, style it intelligently so that it barely touches your scarf.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most effective hairstyles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"> The high half-tail, which keeps the top of the skull intact.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"> The low, loose bun, placed just above the coat.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"> The side braid, away from the nape of the neck and ultra-feminine.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"> The &quot;claw clip&quot; (crab clip), which has become an unstoppable anti-flat weapon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> These hairstyles aren&#39;t meant to &quot;hide the damage&quot;: on the contrary, they help maintain the shape, curls, and texture until the evening. It just goes to show that sometimes you just need to approach the problem from a different angle to solve it.<\/p>\n<h2> The final tip: apply a protective barrier<\/h2>\n<p> <em>&quot;Prevention is better than cure,&quot;<\/em> and this saying is doubly relevant to your hair care routine. To keep your hairstyle intact after a few tight wraps in your scarf, prepare your hair beforehand. Maintaining your hair is a long-term commitment, even an art form.<\/p>\n<p>Hairdressers have one last piece of advice that few people know: create an anti-friction barrier on the lengths of your hair before facing the cold. A few drops of light oil or a protective spray is enough to coat the hair and prevent fabric fibers from snagging.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping your neck warm without ruining your hairstyle is neither a dream nor a privilege. With a few judicious choices, the right fabrics, the right accessories, and the right techniques, you can get through winter comfortably warm and impeccably styled. In fact, that scarf we both love and hate can even cover your hair. Fashionistas wear it as a head covering, making it an all-in-one accessory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To keep the cold out under your coat, a neck warmer is an essential accessory.

Long, wispy or curtain bangs work better than thick, blunt bangs. Short cuts are still an option, with volume on top rather than at the sides.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you go gray without a harsh regrowth line?<\/h3>\n<p>Highlights or a light balayage blend regrowth into color-treated lengths, a shorter cut removes the old color faster, and a gloss softens the contrast for a few weeks. Once the transition is complete, an occasional purple shampoo neutralizes yellow tones in white and gray hair.<\/p>\n<h3>How often should you wash your hair?<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no universal rule: it depends on your scalp and your hair texture. Fine hair or a scalp that gets oily quickly can be washed very often with a gentle shampoo. Curly, kinky and coily hair usually does better with less frequent washing, often once a week.

Gray hair is a color in its own right, and coily hair doesn\u2019t need to be straightened.<\/p>\n<h2>Our articles to get you started<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/beaute\/coiffure\/hairstyles-for-fine-hair-give-more-volume-441217\">Hairstyles for fine hair<\/a>: ideas for more volume without a complicated blowout.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/beaute\/coiffure\/according-to-hairdressers-signs-prove-that-a-haircut-doesnt-suit-you-432066\">Signs your haircut isn\u2019t working for you<\/a>: what a hairdresser looks for, and when to change.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/beaute\/conseils-astuces\/how-to-protect-hair-from-heat-from-straighteners-and-curling-irons-446819\">Protecting your hair from flat irons and curling irons<\/a>: the habits that limit heat damage.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/beaute\/conseils-astuces\/what-type-of-brush-should-i-choose-for-a-successful-blow-dry-446816\">Choosing the right brush for a blowout<\/a>: which shape and bristles suit your hair and the result you want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What haircut is best for a round face?<\/h3>\n<p>A round face is flattered by vertical lines and lengths that fall below the chin: an angled bob, a long bob (lob), layered shoulder-length hair or a side part. Long, wispy or curtain bangs work better than thick, blunt bangs. Short cuts are still an option, with volume on top rather than at the sides.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you go gray without a harsh regrowth line?<\/h3>\n<p>Highlights or a light balayage blend regrowth into color-treated lengths, a shorter cut removes the old color faster, and a gloss softens the contrast for a few weeks. Once the transition is complete, an occasional purple shampoo neutralizes yellow tones in white and gray hair.<\/p>\n<h3>How often should you wash your hair?<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no universal rule: it depends on your scalp and your hair texture. Fine hair or a scalp that gets oily quickly can be washed very often with a gentle shampoo. Curly, kinky and coily hair usually does better with less frequent washing, often once a week. The comfort of your scalp is the best guide.<\/p>\n<p>Keep exploring: browse the whole <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/beaute\">Beauty<\/a> section, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/beaute\/soins\">face and body care routines<\/a> and our everyday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/beaute\/conseils-astuces\">beauty tips and tricks<\/a>.<\/p>","cat_name":"Hair","category_nicename":"coiffure","category_parent":6141}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8340"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428763"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":428976,"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428763\/revisions\/428976"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
