New Delhi: As the leaves begin to shed and change the air turns crisp and chilly during evenings. It is also a sign to adjust your hair care routine and make changes in eating habits to maintain hair health and combat the challenges. The transition from summer’s heat to autumn’s cooler temperatures can affect your hair in various ways, often leading to dryness, frizz, and breakage.

But you can easily combat these issues and achieve shiny, long, non-frizzy and vibrant hair even during the fall months.

Fall season haircare routine

• Use a moisturising shampoo: Choose sulfate-free, hydrating formulas that gently cleanse without stripping your hair of its natural oils. Look for ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, or shea butter.
• Rich conditioners: Aim to deep condition your hair at least once a week. A rich hair mask can provide the intense moisture your hair craves. Look for masks that contain ingredients like avocado, honey, or olive oil for added nourishment.
• Cleansing: As you switch up your hair care products, consider how often you wash your hair. During the fall, you may not need to wash your hair as frequently as in summer. Try extending the wash time to keep them dry, use dry shampoos as alternatives.
• Protect from Heat Styling: With the return of cosy sweaters and scarves, it’s tempting to style your hair with heat tools. Try and use heatless products to style your hair or reduce the use of blow dryers, straighteners or irons.
• Embrace Protective Hairstyles: Fall is a great time to experiment with protective hairstyles that can help reduce breakage and keep your hair healthy such as braids, ponytails, buns, hats and more.
• Scalp care: Protect your scalp from within by using gentle scrubs to remove dead skin cells, and nourish with lightweight oils to protect and get the shine.

As the fall season unfolds, adapting your hair care routine is crucial for maintaining healthy, beautiful hair.
