Autumn Hair Care 101

Fall is an especially difficult time when it comes to caring for and styling your hair. The cool temperature makes hair unruly. Hence, there is a tendency for it to become dry and frizzy. The fact that your hair also loses its natural silky feel, it becomes resistant to any effort to styling.

But you do not have to simply live with it. You can take measures to keep your hair healthy and shiny throughout fall:

Conditioning Treatments: Your hair has suffered from a great deal of damage from the heat during the summer. The damage has interfered with the natural structure of the hair and causing a break down in the hair cuticle structure. Hence, opt for a nourishing and rich conditioning treatment infused with natural oil extracts so your hair is nourished from the inside-out. If you cannot find a conditioner infused with natural oils, add a few drops of your favorite natural oil for added benefits.

Fight Dandruff: The cool air and moisture can contribute to making your scalp more dry than usual. Hence, it is important to pay attention to your scalp. Use dandruff shampoo as soon as you see the first signs of flaking.

The problem with hat hair: This is another common dilemma during fall and winter. As the temperature suffers a dip, it is hard to leave the house without using enough coverage for your head. A hat is the best solution for that. But your hair need not suffer too. Use a sea salt spray or volumising spray on your hair before blow drying it. If you can flip your hair upside down, do so in order to get maximum lift. Do not forget to bring a volumising spray with you to instantly refresh your hair after taking off the hat.

How do you ensure that your hair stays in tip top shape throughout autumn/fall?
