While the weather change during fall is one we all look forward to (cue the cozy sweaters and knee-high boots), the winter season can be a challenge for even the style saavy. Cooler weather can be a blessing for lovers of pumpkin spice lattes and extra fluffy blankets, but many people don’t realize that the change in weather can be a potential nightmare for your hair. So while you adjust your wardrobe for the drop in temps, look into ways to adjust your hair routine as well.
Windswept, not Wind-Mess.
A little breeze is appreciated to help you get that wind-swept, Covergirl, perfect selfie, but huge gusts on windy days are not the vibe! Having your hair whipped around in all directions leaves you knotted and tangled like never before. You shouldn’t feel like putting your hair up in a bun or covering it up with a beanie are your only options to save your hair from the wind. If you want to wear your hair down, or even partially down, be sure to prep your hair by deep conditioning, brushing thoroughly before stepping outside and protecting your style with a strong hold hairspray like Redken Control Addict 28.
Rain Shouldn’t Be the Only Moisture Your Hair Sees
While sweat from the summer heat might help your scalp and hair stay moist, the cold from fall and winter will dry you out! Brace your hair for the drop in temperature by hitting it with an extra dose of moisture. Opt to cleanse your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, like Wella Professionals Invigo Nutri-Enrich Deep Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner. Then, complete the 1-2 punch with a powerhouse leave-in conditioner like Wella Professionals Elements Lightweight Conditioning Leave-In Spray.
Chilly Weather Doesn’t Have to Mean Brittle Strands
The cold can dry your hair to the point of breakage and permanent damage. We must avoid this at all costs! The end of Summer does not have to mean the end of your healthy hair. To bypass breakage this fall, you must follow the golden rule of the season: NEVER go out in the cold with wet hair! Doing this is asking for extreme breakage. Instead, style your hair with Keune’s Style Strong Mousse, and gently blow dry your hair before stepping outside.
Become Besties with Your Stylist
During the summer, you can get by with skipping one or two of your salon appointments, but in the second half of the year, you’ll never want to miss a single appointment! Regularly check in with your hairstylist so they can give you habitual trims to rid yourself of dead ends, give you a good deep clean, and touch up your color. Fall and winter are the times your hair will need and appreciate the extra TLC!
