The colder weather is on the way and brings with it all sorts of hair issues including dryness of the scalp and extra frizz. We’ve put together our top five tips that will help you solve your autumn hair problems and ensure your hair is looking its best no matter the season.
Switch up your shampoo & conditioner
After months of summer sun, the excessive heat exposure has stripped your hair of its moisture and the colder weather and central heating is only going to dry it even more. These seasonal changes mean it’s the perfect time to switch up your shampoo and conditioner. If your scalp is feeling dry, then Kérastase Specifique Bain Riche Dermo-Calm is perfect for you. The cleansing and soothing formula is ideal for those with scalp discomfort and dry hair.
Time for a trim
Rain and wind can affect the health of your hair, making it more prone to damage and split ends. Therefore, regular trims will ensure your hair fights the dull look and keeps its healthy shine.
Fight the frizz
Avoid frizzy hair this fog season by adding an extra step into your hair care routine. Art Director and Owner Kerry says “Frizzy hair can be very frustrating and there’s nothing worse than the weather damaging your set of locks as soon as you step out the door. To combat this, we use our favourite L’Oreal Fix Anti Frizz as the professional 24hr spray lets you take control of your style – it’s super easy to use and tames those unwanted fly-aways!”
Pamper yourself
These chilly nights are the best time to stay in, cosy up and treat your hair with a mask. Creative Stylist Samantha recommends the Kérastase Nutritive 8hr Magic Nourishing Overnight Serum. The intensely nourishing product leaves your hair feeling lightweight and luxuriously hydrated in the morning with no need to rinse out.
Use a hair protectant
You don’t want to take all these steps to nourish your hair but then fail to heat protect it. Art Director Richard says “Protecting your hair from heat damage is vital in this season. We all want to style our hair; we just need to make sure we’re not harming our locks. I always use the ghd Bodyguard Heat Protect Spray on my clients, as it’s lightweight, suitable for all hair types and allows you to create flawless styles.”
