It’s that time of year – the leaves are changing colors, pumpkin spice flavor is everywhere, and there is the perfect chill in the air. It’s time to pull out your cute boots and pull on a cozy sweater.
While there are plenty of things to love about fall, there are a few things that are less desirable. One of those things – what the colder weather can do to your hair.
Summer is known for beachy waves. Unfortunately, autumn is better known for frizzy dry strands. With some tips and tricks though, better hair this fall is completely possible. Here’s what we at Beauty Obsession Salon recommend for autumn in Brooklyn.
Focus on Moisture
As the weather turns colder, the air gets drier. This means drier skin, scalp, and hair. It’s much easier for moisture to get sucked out of hair strands, resulting in dull, dry, and frizzy hair.
Your focus throughout fall and winter should be on moisture. Switch to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Consider washing your hair less as overwashing can strip your hair of its natural moisture and oils. Opt for a leave-in conditioner on those days where your hair is especially unruly.
Extra moisture will help prevent frizz as well as static. Beyond a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, you can also consider moisturizing hair serums, masks, and treatments.
Get a Haircut (Or At Least a Trim)
Summer can be very damaging to your hair – with lots of sun exposure, pool chlorine, and salty sea water. As we head into fall, addressing this damage should be a priority.
Even if you took relatively good care of your hair this past summer, there is plenty of damage to be had now. Colder weather can dry out hair strands, causing more split ends. Hats and beanies look cute but can further damage if you already have split ends. Damaged hair will likewise look dull and lacklustre.
The solution is to get a trim or haircut. Cut off summer’s damage before it can be exacerbated by autumn’s cold. Trim off split ends before the colder, dry weather splits them even further.
As an added bonus, fall is the perfect time of year to mix things up and try a new hair style. Beauty Obsession Salon has a full team of talented stylists who can help you find the perfect new look for autumn.
Fight the Frizz
While the above steps can help you cut down on damage and dryness, frizz is still likely to be an inevitable part of your autumn hair experience. That is unless you opt for a professional anti-frizz hair treatment.
At Beauty Obsession Salon, we offer a number of hair treatments specifically designed to target and cut down on frizz. These treatments include:
Hair Botox – This deep conditioning treatment tackles frizz while adding back shine. It does this by coating each hair strand with a filler that helps cover broken or thin areas while making the hair appear more full and smooth.
Keratin – This well known hair treatment is a great autumn option for reduced frizz. Keratin works by sealing the hair cuticle with a protein coating that cuts down on frizz while adding shine and softness.
