Winter is officially here and, whether you're embracing the chill or counting down the days to summer, you're likely making some shifts in your hair-care routine if you're spending any time in a cold climate. After all, harsh temperatures can stress out already-damaged styles, and mean issues like breakage, dullness, and dryness predictably pop up with no official forecast needed, even on hair that breezed through fall.
Lucky for all of us, Sephora has a bunch of new products, tools, and sets in stock now that deal with the concerns of this season and help treat hair well all year long, too. With new releases from Playa, Living Proof, Ouai, and more, ahead find 19 goodies that deserve a second look this winter.
Sure, you may be far from chlorine-filled pools these days, but this Playa Violet Brightening Shampoo ($28) also helps moisturize brittle hair and removes brassiness year-round with its apple cider vinegar and butterfly pea protein.
This unique L'Oreal Professionnel Steampod Flat Iron and Styler ($250) has a built-in steam tank and detachable comb to create straight, wavy, or curly styles without actually getting your hair wet in the process.
This Living Proof Curl Enhancer ($34) is a lightweight, leave-in conditioner that enhances your natural curly or wavy texture with more definition and less frizz.
Winter also brings this Ouai Treatment Mask for Fine and Medium Hair ($38) which treats dry, breakage-prone, or already damaged hair to a blend of shea butter, panthenol, and other hydrating and strengthening ingredients.
This Ouai Treatment Mask for Thick Hair ($38) moisturizes and mends thicker, over-processed hair with rich oils, butters, and hydrolyzed keratin.
This Living Proof Curl Defining Gel ($28) has a humectant blend inside to condition hair and a resin blend to protect finished curls from humidity-induced frizz.

This BeautyBio Rejuvenating Scalp + Fuller Hair Therapy Set ($249) includes a micro-needling tool with special scalp attachment and serum that all work together support your hair's natural growth cycle so your hair is healthier, fuller, and stronger when you're done.
Or, if you already have a GloPro Microneedling Tool, you can purchase this BeautyBio GloPro SCALP MicroTip Attachment Head ($55) separately instead.
This Living Proof Curl Elongator ($38) works well on even tightly coiled hair as it detangles all curls so there's more definition, separation, and hold in the finished styles.
