Hair care by season: Tips for healthy hair all year round

Hair care can be a real challenge. Not only does it vary depending on hair type or length, but each season also requires different routines. External factors like extreme temperatures, humidity, or dry air can cause discomfort for anyone.

Fortunately, we're here to help! We’ll show you how to take care of your hair, whether it's winter or summer, so no weather changes catch you off guard.

Winter hair care: How to protect your hair from cold and dry air

Winter is a harsh time not only for hair. Cold weather and low humidity dry out hair, making it brittle and dull. So, how should you care for it to protect it from these harsh elements?

The foundation is hydration. Use oils or masks, ideally natural-based, with nourishing coconut or argan oil. A weekly moisturizing mask will give your hair the strength it needs to survive even Siberia.

For winter hair care, wearing a hat or hood outdoors is a good idea to protect hair from unnecessary cold. Don't forget internal protection—proper nutrition. A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and E supports hair growth and health, especially in winter.

Hair fibers lose up to 25% more moisture in winter than in summer, so give your hair extra care during this season!

Spring hair care: Post-Winter regeneration

In spring, your hair deserves some thorough regenerative care after the toll winter has taken. Extreme winter weather has affected your hair, so it's time to give it the attention it needs. But how?

In spring, opt for a "lighter" hair routine and avoid overloading it. Use a gentler shampoo and conditioner, lighter wax, or pomade, and just let your hair breathe. Occasionally, apply a nourishing mask to replenish the nutrients lost over the winter.

Finally, a good idea in spring is to visit our barbershop for a trim, which will lighten your hair and rid your head of broken and weak strands.

Summer hair care: Protection from sun, chlorine, and UV rays

Even in summer, hair faces challenging external elements. Sun, chlorine, and UV rays can be tough on hair, so don’t neglect summer hair protection.

Use a UV-protection spray on your hair to combat UV rays. After every day at the pool or sea, make sure to rinse off (no, hair isn’t washed just by pool or seawater) and apply conditioner to protect it from damage. After washing, run a nourishing oil through your hair to minimize drying and add hydration.

Fall hair care – Winter is coming

Winter is approaching, and it's essential to prepare with a fall hair care routine. Hair naturally renews and prepares for winter, but you can support it. Masks and treatments designed for hair renewal will strengthen and prepare it for winter. Also, choose moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to supply hair for the harsh months ahead. If possible, try to limit heat styling, which weakens hair.

Hair care from spring to winter

With the right hair care all year long, your hair will always be healthy, strong, and shiny. Seasonal hair care can sometimes be challenging or confusing, but it's nothing you can’t handle.
