Calling all fall girlies! September has finally arrived, which means you now kiss summer goodbye and embrace all things Autumn. Assuming you’ve already pulled out the pumpkin decor, cozy clothes, and your favorite festive candles, it’s time to celebrate the change of seasons with some clean fall hair care.
Need a refresher on healthy hair habits for chilly, dry weather? Keep reading for a rundown on transitioning your hair care routine from summer to fall.
Transitioning Hair From Summer to Fall: Tips for Healthy Fall Hair
Reset with a Clarifying Shampoo
Whether you had a full-out Brat summer or kept things mellow by the pool, everyone’s hair has gone through the ringer by Labor Day.
Did you know that standard shampoo can’t remove everything sitting on your scalp? Hairspray, dry shampoo, sunscreen, glitter, and whatever else you applied to your strands this summer can build up over time, leaving your hair heavy and discolored.
That’s why we always recommend using a clarifier like our bestselling Re Neu Clarifying Shampoo after lots of traveling, hair styling, or exposure to the elements. The gentle, purifying formula removes impurities for a soft, fresh, and vibrant finish. It also nourishes the scalp to enhance body and boost shine!
Switch to a Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner
After a good clarifying session, now is the perfect time of year to zero in on hydration. Cooler, drier air in the fall can strip moisture from your hair, making it more prone to dryness and frizz.
So, start your hydration journey at the root level with our Neu Moisture Shampoo and Neu Moisture Conditioner! Unlike other moisturizing products you can find at the drugstore, our clean beauty formulas are made without harsh chemicals and toxins like sulfates, artificial dyes, and colorants – aroma included!
By avoiding questionable ingredients, our take on moisture shampoo and conditioner restores balance, shine, and smoothness while providing the gentlest cleaning possible. They’re designed for everyday use on dry, chemically treated hair, so you can start every morning this fall with a burst of healthy hydration.
Pro-tip: if you notice less oil in your hair as the temperature drops, consider shampooing less often!
Indulge in Deep Conditioning Treatments Regularly
Dealing with stubborn dryness? Whether it’s the weather or your locks that lack moisture, a targeted hair mask can restore those hydration levels in no time.
For your usual dry hair woes, the Neu Moisture Masque will add shine, smoothness, and softness back to your strands. Use it once a week, right after shampooing!
Dealing with summer-induced hair damage? Whether you spent too much time in the pool or overdid the heat styling, our award-winning Neu Repair Treatment Masque will speed up your recovery.
Use a Hydrating Leave-In
A hair mask can work wonders, but it’s not the only way to expel dryness this season. If you’re not already using a daily leave-in conditioner, you’re missing out on the easiest way to nourish your hair!
After every shower, spritz the Neu Repair Leave-In Treatment or the Neu Moisture Argan Oil evenly throughout your hair. The former revitalizes damaged hair for a stronger finish, while the latter defrizzes and adds shine.
If it’s not a hair wash day, use the Neu Moisture Instant Fix instead! It makes hair more manageable by boosting hydration and adding heat styling protection.
This quick hair care step will be especially important on cold, dry days, so remember to check the weather before heading out!
Get a Trim and Protect Against Split Ends
Remember all the hair build-up we said can collect on scalps in the summer? Another sensitive area is the ends of your hair, where breakage is quite common in summer and fall weather alike.
The quickest way to get a fresh start this fall is a trim! Chopping off split ends will enhance your hair growth and give you a smoother, more manageable texture. Plus, trims always feel like a much-needed refresh.
You can also reduce ongoing breakage by applying a light layer of argan oil along your ends. On dry or wet hair, spray a bit of our Neu Moisture Argan Oil on your fingers and gently swipe them through the bottom of your strands.
Focus on Scalp Care
Finally, it’s never a bad time to level up your scalp care routine. Your skin in this area determines the overall health of your hair, so nourishment here goes a long way!
In addition to using the Re Neu Clarifying Shampoo, a scalp brush is our favorite way to treat the scalp. After lathering on your shampoo, gently press it against your head and move it in small, circular motions for about 2-3 minutes.
Between improved blood circulation, enhanced shampoo performance, and better volume, you’ll never want to shower without one again!
