4 Fall Hair Tips Every Curly Should Know

Fall is the best time to repair damage caused by the heat and humidity of summer and prepare your hair for the cool, dry months ahead. Here are some fall hair tips for keeping your hair moisturized and frizz-free all autumn long.

1. Switch Out for Heavier Products

Go for the heavier products this Fall, as temperatures begin to drop and your hair will need more protection against the cold dry air. Heavier products are necessary to maintain moisture, prevent breakage and to keep your hair growing at a healthy rate. We recommend creamy stylers, rich leave in conditioners, pre-poos and deep treatments.

2. Preserve Your Fall Hair Color

Fall is a great time to change up your hair color and go for the dark hues. If you’re going darker this fall, you’ll need to preserve your new hair color with specially formulated color saving products. Look for a sulfate free shampoo or cowash that won't strip away your dye, and always use a rich conditioner to repair your hair after its color change.

3. Use a Natural Hair Moisturizer

Cooler temperatures do a number on your strands. Go for the super creamy moisturizers that won’t dry out later in the day. You'll need that extra hydration to keep your strands frizz free and soft. Try using your moisturizer between wash days, as a cure for flyaways, and as a sealant.

4. Best Products for Protective Styles

Because cooler temperatures can bring on brittle hair, it’s best to wear styles that protect your ends. If you’re wearing braids, twists or other protective styles, be sure to keep your scalp clean and moisturized. The steps are easy: cleanse your scalp with a gentle cleanser. Apply a leave in to your hair to keep it soft and moisturized. Try using a bit of edge tamer to keep your look polished, and freshen up your scalp mid week with a gentle dry shampoo.
