As the leaves change color and the air becomes crisp, it's evident that fall has arrived. Along with cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes, the fall season brings unique challenges and opportunities for your hair. The fluctuating temperatures, humidity, and seasonal activities can all affect the health and appearance of your locks. But fear not, we've got you covered with some hot hair tips to ensure your mane looks fabulous throughout the fall season. Whether you're trick-or-treating or enjoying autumn festivities, these tips will keep your hair looking treat-worthy.
Hydration is Key
As the weather cools down, your hair may become more prone to dryness and breakage. To combat this, make sure you're drinking plenty of water and using a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Salon 955 recommends the Hydration Line of Products from Pureology. A sulfate-free shampoo emulsifies into a rich lather to replenish dry hair while an ultra-creamy conditioner nourishes to add softness and shine. Perfect for all hair types that crave hydration - from coiled to straight.
Embrace the Autumn Colors
Fall is the perfect time to experiment with new hair colors that complement the season. Whether you opt for warm shades of red, copper, or rich brown, a change in hair color can give you a fresh and stylish look for the season. Be sure to consult with one of our stylists to find the perfect hue for your skin tone and hair type.
Heat Styling with Care
With cooler temperatures, you might be tempted to use heat styling tools more frequently. While they can help you achieve sleek and polished looks, excessive heat can damage your hair. To protect your locks, always use a heat protectant spray before styling and try to limit heat styling to a few times a week. Embrace heat-free styles like braids, buns, or twists for a gentler approach to hairstyling.
Say No to Static
Fall weather often brings dry air, which can lead to static hair. Combat static by using an anti-static spray such as Redken's Frizz Dismiss Anti Static Oil. Formulated with Redken's Smoothing Complex containing Babassu Oil that works to moisturize, detangle and protect hair from frizz while providing enhanced smoothness and frizz control.
Hat Hair Hacks
Hats are a fall fashion staple, but they can leave your hair looking flat and disheveled. To avoid hat hair, start with a volumizing product before styling your hair. We absolutely love Volumizing Blow Dry Mist from Olaplex. Consider loose hairstyles like waves or curls, which can better withstand the pressure of a hat. And when you take off your hat, gently shake out your hair to restore volume.
Fall is a wonderful season full of vibrant colors and exciting festivities, and with the right hair care routine, you can enjoy it to the fullest without worrying about your look. By staying hydrated, experimenting with autumn-inspired colors, and practicing good hair care habits, you will ensure that your hair is ready for any fall weather trick or treat. Embrace the season, flaunt your fabulous fall hair, and let your inner autumn spirit shine. Happy hairstyling!
