As much as we hate to admit it, the warmth of the summer months is coming to an end. The chill in the air signals the change in season, which also calls for an upgrade to your care routine. When you start to pack away the shorts and pull out your favorite sweaters again, there are a few switches you should also be made to your style and choices in hair products.
Frizz Will Be Prevalent
Despite what many think, frizz is mostly caused by a lack of moisture in the hair. During the colder months, as heaters get switched on and you’ve begun blow drying your hair again, you’ll need to add a few products into your routine to increase hydration and moisture. To help cut down on frizz, air-dry when possible to improve the state of your hair and add leave-in conditioners and heat protectants each time you wash and style. Our favorites include: KEVIN.MURPHY STAYING.ALIVE + HEATED DEFENSE.
Find a Go-To Style
Excited to finally wear all the clothes you’ve ordered online the past few months? We are too, but first thing’s first — you’ll need a go-to style you can easily master and recreate for lazy days in or fun nights out. The best part about the trends this season is their undone nature. While most of us can easily work from the air-dried natural texture on the daily, for a little something special it requires less time, effort and energy than styles of season’s past. Take the stress out of styling and opt for a touch of an iron to create soft waves or a messy chignon — that way you only need to style your face frame while you pull the rest of it back into a messy knot! If you’re going the messy chignon route, add a touch of dry shampoo at the roots and a spritz of hairspray at the ends to keep everything volumized and in order. We suggest Redken Dry Clean Dry Shampoo + Triple Pure 32.
Pamper Yourself
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Self-care is an ideal way to pamper yourself and your hair. By treating your hair will a little extra TLC this season, you’ll notice the ability to dodge split ends, the appearance of shinier color, and an ease when it comes to manageability and styling. The best way to indulge? Add a weekly mask to your routine specifically targeted to your hair type and needs. A few of our favorites are Keune Care Vital Nutrition Mask, Care Color Brillianz Mask, and Care Keratin Smooth Mask.
