After a summer full of sun, sea, and chlorine, your hair may look a little lackluster. With fall just around the corner, now is the time to restore your hair and protect it from the cold, wind, and dry air. We’re sharing the best tips and products to make your locks healthy, shiny, and strong again.
Care Starting from the Basics
After the summer, your hair needs extra nourishment. That’s why you should choose a restorative shampoo and conditioner that bring dry and damaged hair back to life. Consider, for example, nourishing product lines from Olaplex, Kerastase, or Nine Yards that repair the hair’s structure and restore moisture to the hair.
Intensive Hydration with a Mask
A weekly hair mask is a must-have in the fall. It deeply nourishes your hair and prevents split ends. Products containing ingredients like keratin, oil, or silk powder—such as those from Biosilk or Moroccanoil—are ideal for restoring your hair’s softness and shine.
Protect your hair from the cold and styling
Cold outdoor air and dry indoor heating air can make your hair more brittle. That’s why you should always use a leave-in conditioner or heat protectant, especially if you blow-dry or straighten your hair. Brands like CHI and amika offer great sprays that protect your hair without weighing it down.
Cut Out the Summer
A fresh haircut works wonders. Split ends disappear, and your hair instantly looks healthier. This way, you can start the fall with a fresh hairstyle that’s better equipped to withstand the wind and cold.
Additional Tips for Fall
- Wear a silk scarf or hat liner to prevent friction and pilling.
- Use a hair oil for extra shine and protection against dry air
- Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in omega-3 and vitamins to promote healthy hair growth from the inside out.
