Winter-Proof Your Lashes & Brows in Dallas
Winter-Proof Your Lashes & Brows in Dallas
In winter, lashes and brows are exposed to two things at the same time: colder outdoor air and dry indoor heating. This combination can reduce moisture retention in hair, which affects flexibility.
Why that matters:
Less flexible hair does not hold shape as easily
Lifted lashes can relax sooner
Laminated brows may feel drier or harder to style
Natural lashes and brows may appear dull rather than glossy
This is not a service failure. It is a seasonal variable that needs to be accounted for in both treatment choice and aftercare.
Where Keratin Support Fits (and Why We Use It)
Keratin is a structural protein naturally present in hair. In professional lash and brow services, keratin-based products are used after reshaping, not to alter the result, but to condition the hair once its structure has been set.
This step matters more in winter.
Cold air and indoor heating can leave lash and brow hair feeling drier and less flexible over time. By incorporating keratin support at the end of a lash lift or brow lamination, we help:
Maintain softness and flexibility through the wear period
Support smoother styling week to week
Reduce the dry or brittle feel some clients notice mid-winter
At Glow Up Studio, keratin is not an add-on. It is built into our gentle 3-step process: lifting, setting, and nourishing.
By prioritizing consistent conditioning rather than multiple treatment tiers, we focus on long-term hair health. The goal is lashes and brows that look polished on day one and continue to feel comfortable, flexible, and well-maintained throughout the full 4 to 6 week wear period.
What You Can Do at Home to Support Lash & Brow Health
To support your results at home, we recommend the following winter-safe habits:
Cleanse lashes and brows regularly using an oil-free cleanser to prevent buildup.
Brush lashes and brows gently, especially when hair feels dry
After the first 24 hours post-service (when lashes and brows must stay dry and oil-free), you can introduce light conditioning for brows, such as castor oil, to help keep brow hair hydrated and support healthy growth over time.
Add a conditioning serum consistently, such as The DUO Brow & Lash InTOXXification and Duo Lash & Brow Boost Growth Serum to support hair health between services.
Keep heavier skincare products away from the lash line
Support hair health from within by including omega-3s in your diet (found in foods like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds) or through supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids play a role in overall hair and skin health and can be a helpful addition during winter.
Pro Tip: Using Oils After Brow Lamination
Oils can be helpful for brow lamination maintenance, but less is more.
Wait 24–48 hours after your service before using any oils, water, steam, or makeup to allow the lamination to fully set.
Use castor oil sparingly, only a few times per week and in very small amounts. Its thicker consistency can sit on top of the hair and may shorten the life of a lamination if overused.
Lighter oils such as jojoba, grapeseed, or avocado oil are often better tolerated and less likely to weigh down the brows.
For consistency and ease, a dedicated brow serum is often the most reliable option for conditioning without compromising shape.
The Takeaway
Winter lash and brow care is not about doing more services. It is about adjusting support.
If your lashes or brows feel different in winter, the solution is usually:
Correct aftercare
Thoughtful conditioning
Choosing enhancements that support hair health, not just appearance
At Glow Up Studio Dallas, our role is to guide that decision so your results stay consistent, comfortable, and long-lasting, even when the season is not.
