Changing hair care from summer to autumn

The change of seasons not only brings changes in wardrobe and everyday life, but also requires adjustments in hair care. While summer requires light, moisturizing products and protection from UV rays, autumn places completely different demands on the scalp and hair. In this article you will learn why it is necessary to change your hair care routine in the fall and which products you should use now.

Why do hair and scalp have different needs in autumn?

As summer transitions into autumn, not only do the temperatures change, but so do the humidity and the daily stresses on your hair. In summer, hair and scalp are mainly stressed by the sun, chlorine or salt water. The high temperatures cause the scalp to produce more sebum, which makes lighter and refreshing care products necessary.

In autumn, however, the temperatures drop, the air becomes drier and the heated air indoors can dry out the hair even more. These changing conditions often lead to dry scalp, which can promote dandruff or itching. In addition, the hair loses moisture, becomes brittle and is more prone to breakage.

Why should you adjust your hair care routine this fall?

Adapting your hair care routine to the changing weather conditions of fall is crucial to keeping your hair and scalp healthy. In autumn, your hair needs more moisture, intensive care and protection from the colder temperatures and dry air. With the right care, you can effectively prevent dryness, hair breakage and irritated scalp.

The change in hair care ensures that your hair is optimally prepared for the coming cooler months and that you can also shine with shiny, healthy hair in the autumn and winter seasons .

How does hair care in fall differ from that in summer?

  1. Intensify moisturizing: In summer, a light moisturizer is often enough, as the scalp produces more sebum anyway. In autumn, however, you should use richer shampoos and conditioners that give your hair enough moisture . Products with ingredients such as argan oil, shea butter or aloe vera are ideal for caring for dry hair and giving it the moisture it needs.
  2. Don't neglect scalp care: It's especially important to care for your scalp in the fall, as the colder temperatures and dry air make it more susceptible to irritation. Use a mild shampoo that soothes and nourishes the scalp. Special scalp oils or serums can help nourish the skin and prevent dandruff.
  3. Protection against hair breakage: Due to the colder temperatures, hair tends to break more quickly. Use hair masks or deep conditioners regularly to strengthen hair and prevent split ends. Also be careful not to treat the hair too roughly when it is wet, as it is then particularly susceptible to damage.
  4. Heat and cold protection: While protection from UV rays is the priority in summer, protection from cold and heated air is crucial in autumn. If necessary, use a heat protectant spray when blow-drying your hair to protect it from damage from hot air. Also, wear hats or caps to protect your hair from the cool autumn winds, but make sure they are not too tight to avoid hair breakage.

Conclusion

Switching up your hair care routine from summer to fall is essential to keeping your hair and scalp healthy. By adapting your care products to the colder temperatures and changing conditions, you can avoid dryness, hair breakage and scalp problems. Rely on moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, nourishing masks and serums as well as protective measures against the harsh autumn winds - so your hair shines healthy and vital even in the cooler season.
