As we head into autumn, we start thinking about hair care routines that will help us transition from the summer months. The weather can be tough on hair, so it’s essential to take some extra steps to keep your locks looking healthy and shiny. This blog post will discuss five hair care tips for autumn to help you get the best hair possible this season!
Salon hair care tips for autumn to keep your hair healthy & shiny
1. Invest in hair care products that will make your hair look great
Heat-activated tools can cause damage, particularly during the colder months. As a result, add a few hair protection products (protector, serum, mousse, or cream) to your winter hair regimen. Before using heat on your hair, mist it with water and apply a protectant. This will help keep your locks healthy.
If you haven’t yet begun using a dry hair shampoo, consider doing so during the autumn and winter months. The crisp, cold weather can cause static and frizzing due to moisture loss from your hair. Washing less often will help to keep moisture in the hair.
2. Book yourself in for a trim
Indoor heating and weather conditions such as rain, cold, and autumn sun can damage your hair health by making it more susceptible to breakage. It’s not just that light doesn’t reflect well off messy hair; it can also make your locks look dull. The solution? Visit your favourite hair salon for a trim. Getting rid of split ends will help your hair look healthier overall.
Autumn is the perfect time to do it if you’re due for a colour touch-up! The cooler weather can actually make hair colour last longer.
3. Get rid of the frizz and give your hair a sleek, polished look
Control your frizz and keep your hair healthy with the help of our styling routine, designed for any type of weather. Two of the best ways to style your hair are by developing a good routine or using a keratin smoothing system.
You can fix frizz by adding hydration to your hair. Some good ways to tame frizz are using taming and moisturising products (anti-frizz serums, anti-frizz oils, anti-frizz sprays or an anti-frizz shampoo and finishing treatment). Applying a taming product to damp hair is the best way to achieve frizz-free strands. Use a shampoo followed by an anti-frizz serum applied to wet hair for optimal results. We recommend using a combination of products specifically designed for frizz control.
Don’t forget to use the proper product for your hair type! If you have fine or thick hair, select a shampoo and conditioner corresponding with your specific hair type.
4. Wear your hair down to protect it from breakage
As we transition into colder weather and drier hair, it’s best to leave your hair down or pinned up softly. Wearing your hair in a tight bun or ponytail can lead to more breakage. Use a soft hair tie or bobby pins if you must wear your hair up.
Wearing a hat or scarf outdoors will help keep your hair healthy by protecting it from the sun, wind, and other elements.
5. Use less heat
Let your hair air dry whenever possible and avoid using heated styling tools such as hair straighteners, curlers, and hair dryers. If you must use heat, use a heat protectant product beforehand. Heat can damage your hair, making it more prone to breakage.
Heated styling tools are not the only culprit for hair damage; hair products can also be damaging. If you use hair products, make sure to read the labels carefully. Avoid products that contain alcohol as it can dry out your hair.
