What you need to know for your curls - Fall Edition

Hello Curly Crew,

Protecting your hair during the fall is important as the change in weather can bring its own set of challenges. Here are some of the best ways to protect your hair during the fall season:

Moisturize Your Hair

• Cooler temperatures and lower humidity can lead to dryness. Switch to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to help combat dryness and keep your hair hydrated.

  Deep Conditioning:

  • Guys consider using a deep conditioning treatment once a week to provide your hair with extra moisture and repair any damage from summer sun exposure. This is a must! I recommend the Curl Daddy Revive Me Deep Treatment.

  Limit Heat Styling:

  • Reduce the use of heat styling tools such as blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons. Heat can further dry out your hair, and it's best to let your hair air dry as much as possible. If for any reason you diffuse your hair make sure you have a styling cream with Thermal Protection like our Vegan Hold Me Cream Gel.

  Protect Against the Elements:

  • Wear a hat or a scarf lined in satin or silk like our Curl Daddy Beanie to protect your hair from wind, rain, and cold temperatures. This can help prevent breakage and minimize exposure to harsh weather.

  Trim Your Ends:

  • Schedule a regular trim to get rid of split ends and keep your hair healthy. This can also prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.

Avoid Overwashing:

• Shampooing too frequently can strip your hair of natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Try to extend the time between washes, and use a dry shampoo if necessary.

Stay Hydrated and Eat Well:

• Proper hydration and a balanced diet with essential vitamins and nutrients are crucial for healthy hair. Make sure you're drinking enough water and eating foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.

• Avoid Hot Showers:

  • Hot water can strip your hair of natural oils and exacerbate dryness. Use lukewarm water when washing your hair and finish with a cool rinse to seal the hair cuticle.

• Protect Your Hair from Sun Damage:

  • Even in the fall, the sun's UV rays can be damaging to your hair. Consider using hair products with UV protection when spending time outdoors like our Nourish Me Leave In and our Glow me up oil spray. Both formulas have UV Protection.

By following these tips, you can help protect your hair from the challenges that the fall season may bring and keep it healthy, shiny, and looking its best.

Hope this helps you in your journey!
