Fall is in full swing. We all know what that means... Yes, pumpkin spiced everything! But also, it's time to change up that hair care routine. When the Fall season arrives, it brings with it several factors that can really affect your hair. It's important to know how to take care of your locks to ensure they remain luscious all season long! Here are 5 ways you can ensure your hair's health:
1. Double Up on the Moisture
Moisture is key when there is a chill in the air. We often think about how much we have to take care of our skin in the Fall and Winter, but we forget that the same rule applies to our hair. Cooler weather can zap all of the moisture out of your hair. I recommend using an intense moisturizer and developing a deep conditioning regimen that you can do every other weekend. Doing this will ensure that your hair remains moisture and gorgeous no matter what the temperature is outside.
2. Use a Clarifying Shampoo
If you don't have colored hair, trying a clarifying shampoo is the perfect way to rid your hair of damage from the summer season. During the summer months, our hair can build up a lot of different products on the scalp such as sunscreen or salt sprays. A great clarifying shampoo can help strip these unhealthy buildups from your hair and help you enjoy the Fall season with a fresh head of hair.
3. Add Some Volume
Another thing that cold weather hinders is the natural volume of your hair. That's why I recommend using a volume product that will help your hair remain voluminous. Use products that will lift your roots and add thickness to your strands. These products will help ensure that your hair remains lively.
4. Go All Natural
Go all natural by switching your hair products to products that are made with all natural ingredients. Not only is this good for the planet and animals, it is also great for your hair. A lot of hair care products contain nasty chemicals which can further damage your hair by stripping it of all the healthy oils. When the weather gets cold, your hair is already going through enough without trying to fight against chemical infested products. By switching to all natural hair products you're ensuring the longevity of your hair's look and feel.
5. Go a Shade Darker
It's time to say good-bye to the bleach out summer looks! Try embracing Fall with a big color change by switching it up and going a shade darker. I recommend going for a deep burgundy or vibrant red color. Darker and richer browns, reds, and burgundies are popular during Fall because they are the perfect complement to the gorgeous colors in nature.
