How Edmonton’s Climate Affects Your Hair
Living in Edmonton means experiencing some of Canada’s most dramatic weather. From freezing winters to hot, dry summers, our climate has a noticeable effect on your hair.
Winter: Dry Air, Dry Hair
Cold temperatures and indoor heating strip moisture from your hair, often leaving it feeling dry, brittle, and full of static.
To keep your hair hydrated, we recommend using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as Maria Nila True Soft Shampoo & Conditioner. Adding Balmain Leave In Conditioning Spray or Maria Nila True Soft Argan Oil helps lock in moisture, smooth flyaways, and restore shine without weighing your hair down.

Spring and Summer: Sun, Heat and Colour Protection
Long days outside, weekends at the lake, and afternoons on the golf course are great for the soul but can be tough on your hair. UV rays can fade colour, while heat and dry air leave hair looking dull and feeling dehydrated.
If you colour your hair, Maria Nila Luminous Colour Shampoo & Conditioner helps preserve vibrancy, while Balmain Argan Moisturizing Elixir provides lightweight hydration and beautiful shine.
Fall: Time for a Refresh
As the seasons change, many people notice a little more hair shedding than usual. This is a normal part of the hair growth cycle and a great reminder to freshen up your haircut and evaluate your home hair care routine.
A professional trim and the right products can make a remarkable difference heading into another Alberta winter.
Healthy Hair Starts with the Right Routine
No two heads of hair are the same, and neither are their needs. Your hair type, lifestyle, and even how much time you spend outdoors all influence the products that will work best for you.
At Soho, we take the time to recommend products that suit your hair rather than simply what’s popular. Sometimes the smallest change to your routine can make the biggest difference.
If you’re unsure where to start, ask one of our stylists during your next visit. We’ll help you build a routine with Maria Nila and Balmain Hair Couture products that keeps your hair healthy, manageable, and looking its best through every Edmonton season.
