Autumn brings cold, dry air that can make your hair brittle, frizzy, and hard to manage. But no need to worry, I got you! Below are seven hair care tips for fall weather that will ensure your hair remains healthy and beautiful all through the season.
Schedule a hot oil treatment and a hair cut. Summer repair time! You’ve had fun in the sun, now it’s time to get cozy with indoor time, where humidity is at an all time low. This means it’s time for a 15-20 minute specialized mix of ProRituals Hydrate Treatment and Dream Oil to be thoroughly applied to your hair. We’ll cap the hair to protect and advance the prescription, then grab the roller ball dryer and position you under it. Once it’s done it’s job, out you come to let the hair cool down for 5-10 minutes, rinse, then proceed with a beautiful style before sending you out for the rest of your day. BUT, before you leave, you should schedule another treatment 3 months out, and just go ahead and set these up for every quarter to maintain beautiful, year-round hair.
Moisturize, please. Consider a leave-in conditioner, especially if you have curly hair, or hair that has been compromised by color developers. The ProRituals Spray Treat is an excellent choice for fine hair, and ProRituals Dream Cream for thick hair. These conditioners will fill in the porosity of curly hair, and seal in natural moisture to help protect against the days we are entering.
Schedule a hair cut! Even if you forgo the hot oil treatment, hair needs maintenance. Especially after a summer of sun and swimming, trimming your ends is a simple step that goes a long way. Dead ends, also known as split ends, are like dead weight. If you let them be, they may compromise your hair health by latching onto healthy ends, causing frizz and tangles, and damaging other hair strands.
Don’t forget about your scalp. ProRituals Dream Oil is liquid gold for not only excessively dry hair, but works wonders for a dry or irritated scalp. Dream Oil replaces Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) lost during color services and helps prevent damage caused by free radicals.
Consider “steaming” your hair if you’ve had a LOT of fun in the sun this past summer. Apply a deep conditioner and then just add a shower cap and wrap a towel on top to achieve a similar effect of a steamer. Let sit in the hair for at least 30 minutes before rinsing out.
Did you know that by braiding your hair, you are protecting your hair? Wrapping hair all together is much like a human huddle. Each strand protects the one next to it and helps to keep the warmth of the scalp (that fuels the strands), trapped inside their weaves.
Stay hydrated! This is a hard one for a lot of people. Yet, not only do the cells within our body NEED the hydration, so does our skin and hair. Water helps transport nutrients the hair needs, One can always determine the health of a person by simply observing the skin, hair, and nails. 55-60% of our body is made up of water. Once that gets depleted things tend to go south, if you know what I mean.
