Preparing Your Hair for Fall Weather

Does your hair feel dry and riddled with split ends, frizz, or some unruly strands that seem to have a mind of their own? If your hair feels less smooth and duller than it did a few days ago, you are not imagining it. The sun and pool water can take a toll on your otherwise healthy tresses. Hair care in fall weather means a little extra TLC .

5 Pro Tips to Keep Your Hair Looking Its Best This Fall 

Start with a moisturizer boost: Sun exposure during the summer months and frequent washing deplete your hair of moisture. Fall is the perfect time to hydrate your hair with weekly deep-conditioning treatment and a nourishing hair mask. As you look for moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to combat dryness, avoid products with harsh ingredients. Ask your hair stylist about a professional conditioning treatment during your next appointment for an extra boost of hydration and shine.

Protect your hair from the elements: Cool temperatures can make your hair feel rough, tangled, and prone to static. Protect your hair by wearing a soft hat or scarf when outdoors. A lightweight leave-in conditioner or hair oil can also help smooth the cuticles and provide an extra layer of protection, keeping your hair soft and smooth to the touch. Also, avoid blow-drying or heat-styling your hair too often, as excessive heat can strip your hair of moisture. 

Brush your hair gently to avoid over-shedding: Don’t panic if you see your tresses fall more than normal in early fall. Hair shedding is a natural and temporary process and usually peaks in late summer and early autumn after the summer resting period. Brushing your hair gently, keeping your hair moisturized, protected from the natural elements, and trimming it regularly helps. However, if you notice your hair shedding for longer than three months or causing bald patches, please consult a doctor or dermatologist to rule out other causes.

Trim those split ends: Don’t wait for split ends to travel farther up the hair shaft and damage your hair. A regular trim (usually between 6 to 12 weeks) helps remove damaged ends and keeps your hair looking healthy and bouncy. 

Choose fall-friendly hairstyles: Choose low-maintenance cuts and styles that can adapt to the changing humidity with ease. Deep side parts, tucked buns, and the classic slicked-back ponytail are especially popular during fall because they keep strands neatly tucked away from your face on windy days.   

  • For those of you who have well water or have damage from the chlorine in your pool, make an appointment to get a Malibu treatment to remove the damaging chemicals from your hair that cause discoloration. 
  • For our blondes who become brassy especially your highlights fall is the time to look into the new lowlight colors with less bleaching of the hair.

As we welcome fall and the temperature begins to drop, your hair is exposed to cooler, drier air outside while heated indoor air can quickly strip away much-needed moisture. Add to that the effects of fall winds and increased heat styling, and your strands can become dry, brittle, and more prone to split ends. Just as your skin needs extra hydration as the seasons change, your hair needs a little extra care, too. A few simple adjustments to your fall hair care routine can help restore moisture, protect your strands, and keep your hair looking healthy and salon-fresh.

Give Your Hair a Fall Refresh

With a little extra moisture, less heat, gentle brushing, color-safe products, and regular trims, you can help your hair transition smoothly into cooler months. If your hair is still feeling dry, dull, or difficult to manage, or if it needs some extra TLC, head to your favorite hair stylist for a gentle massage, deep conditioning, or customized treatment, and useful fall hair care recommendations.
