Hair Types and Skiing

When it comes to choosing the right skiing hairstyle, Linda emphasizes that your hair type plays a vital role. “For thick and curly hair, a topknot or a high ponytail is best,” she advises. “For thin hair, I recommend braids or a low ponytail. These styles will prevent tangling and keep your hair away from your eyes.”

Weather-Friendly Hairstyles for Skiing

Don’t let the weather dampen your style. Linda suggests opting for a hairstyle that “can be easily fixed if it gets wet or blown around by the wind.” For long hair, she recommends two braids or a low ponytail. Short-haired individuals can opt for a beanie or headband to tame flyaways while keeping their ears warm.
