We've talked in recent weeks about fall hair trends and skincare tips, but as the weather turns cooler, it affects your hair, too! If you were hard on your hair this summer and spent plenty of time in the sunshine at the pool, your hair may be feeling brittle or you might have experienced breakage. As fall approaches and the weather becomes even drier, our hair has to readjust to less water in the air. This leads to a lack of volume in the hair, and you might be prone to frizz and static. Just like your skin needs some extra moisture during these colder months, so does your hair! Read on for our top fall hair care tips:
Get a trim: Especially if your hair was damaged by the summer sunshine or chlorine from the pool, it's a good idea to get a fresh trim to remove any split ends. Your hair will be healthier and will be able to tackle the incoming cooler weather more easily. (Find our hair services here.)
Clarify your hair: Got a lot of buildup from your summer activities? No worries! Use a clarifying shampoo and conditioner to rid your scalp of all the buildup and bring new life back to your hair. You might also consider a scalp facial for a seasonal reset.
Add extra hydration: The drop in temperature can leave your hair dry and frizzy, so switching to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, adding a moisture mask, or simply popping some hair oil on your ends, depending on your hair type and needs, can go a long way toward keeping those locks hydrated.
Volumize: As humidity decreases, your hair may lack the volume it had during the summer, so you might consider adding a volumizer spray or volumizing dry shampoo for that extra boost.
Use heat less: Heat styles are drying and damaging to the hair, so you may want to consider protective styles during the fall and winter months. Braids, buns, and twists keep your hair protected and reduce exposure to the elements. You can even braid or twist your hair before bed and wake up with beachy waves or curls for a no-fuss, ready-in-60-seconds style.
Fall doesn't have to be hard on your hair. By incorporating more hydration and taking care to minimize damage, you'll have gorgeous looking hair all year round. To schedule a scalp facial or hair service, call Patrice or Emma at (815) 223-8643.
