Miss Australia 2025 Lexie Brant keeps her hair healthy through winter with ELEVEN Miracle Hair Treatment, Halo heat styling tools and a silk pillowcase, alongside a hydrating shampoo and conditioner routine to fight dryness and frizz on the Gold Coast.
Lexie Brant is booked and busy! As Miss Australia 2025, a Uni student and sought-after model – not to mention the partner of Gold Coast Suns AFL star, Sam Clohesy – an average week can take her from catwalk to classroom, footy sidelines to swimsuit shoot – without missing a beat.
So, how does she keep her hair looking so good – especially as we head into a cold, blustery Australian winter?
Here Gold Coast based Lexie shares her top ten winter products that work – whatever the weather!
By Emma Bangay, Editor, Hairhouse.
How do you find winter and cooler climates affect your hair?
“Winter dries my hair out more than usual, especially with wind and going between chilly air outside on a shoot and heating indoors in the classroom or at an event. I notice more frizz and my ends feel a lot more brittle, so I become a lot more intentional with hydration and protection.”
What are some of your favourite top winter hair hacks?
“My #1 hack is to put a Treatment in my hair and slick it back when it’s feeling dehydrated or frizzy. I am also investing in quality Heat Styling Tools so I can style my hair quickly and effectively without needing to go over the same section multiple times, so this is a time-saver and prevents damage. And lastly, sleeping on a silk pillowcase is so underrated! It's a super simple hack that keeps my hair smooth overnight!”
Love those tips! Especially using a Treatment for a slick back style. How important are Hair Treatments to you during winter?
“Hair treatments are honestly non-negotiable for me, especially during winter when my hair needs that extra love. I used to bleach my hair, and the breakage was constant, so my hair has been in recovery mode since!"
What is your favourite winter Hair Treatment?
“Depending on how much Heat Styling I’ve been doing for events, I usually dip into ELEVEN Miracle Hair Treatment a few times a week. Aside from applying it and slicking my hair back into a bun – which is a lifesaver for Uni life or running daily errands – I also apply it overnight when I really want to reset the health of my hair. It’s such an easy, constant and effective product – and it’s Australian – so I love that too.”
What’s your winter Shampoo and Conditioner go-to?
“This winter, I’ve started using ELEVEN Hydrate My Hair Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner. They keep my hair super nourished without weighing it down - which is so rare - and I’ve noticed much less frizz and dryness. Plus, it smells fab too!”
And when it comes to Heat Styling, how do you ensure you don’t reverse all this good work you’re doing on your hair during winter?
“My Halo X1 Hot Straightening Hairbrush is my go-to for creating an effortless blowout look. Hot brushes deliver that polished, put-together vibe without looking overdone. This one is so quick and easy to use, which is exactly what I need when I’m short on time! If I’m after curls and waves, I always use Halo X3 Curler which absolutely saved me when I travelled to Thailand for the International Miss Universe competition and had to have my hair perfect every single day! It brought the soft, full glam look with zero effort.”
What about the footy during winter? What's your go-to tips for a day outdoors?
“I honestly love a good footy fit check, it’s so much fun getting dressed up in my Gold Coast kit and supporting Sam. I feel like the hair is such a big part of the overall look. I have to say, the Elchim 8th Sense Styler Titanium & Ceramic Hair Straightener is the only Hair Straightener I’ve used that gets my hair perfectly sleek and glossy every time, without making it look dry. It’s perfect for games in Queensland or Victoria when you never really know what the weather is going to do, and its super lightweight and compact, so it’s easy to take with me when I’m travelling.”
When it comes to Scalp Health, do you find cold winds and indoor heating causes irritation? If so, what product do you reach to remedy this?
“Definitely! And I don’t think this is talked about enough. I have heard a lot of buzz about Nouvelle Scalp Habit Scalp Relief Fluid to calm irritation and keep everything feeling balanced, so that's the next Hairhouse product I need to snap up!”
