Fall Hair Challenges & How to Combat Them


Ah, fall. The season of pumpkin spice lattes, cozy sweaters, and… hair troubles?  Yep, as beautiful as autumn is, it can be a real challenge for your hair.  But don't worry, I'm here to help you keep your locks luscious all season long!


Why Fall is Tough on Hair

Here in the Midwest, the shift from summer to fall brings a dramatic change in humidity.  That dry air sucks the moisture right out of your hair, leaving it feeling brittle, frizzy, and prone to static.  Add in the friction from hats and scarves, and you've got a recipe for hair distress.


Common Fall Hair Challenges:

  • Dryness and breakage:  Lack of moisture makes hair fragile and prone to snapping.

  • Static and flyaways:  Dry hair + cold air = a recipe for static cling.

  • Dullness:  Humidity helps hair reflect light, so when it's gone, shine goes too.

  • Scalp issues:  Dry scalp can lead to itchiness, flaking, and even dandruff.


Combatting the Fall Hair Blues

Ready to fight back against fall hair woes? Here's your action plan:

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

  • Deep conditioning:  Treat your hair to a weekly deep conditioning mask to replenish lost moisture.  (Check out my: favorite masks: Mediceuticals Dual Therapy (purchase thru me) Oya Velvet)

  • Leave-in conditioner:  A lightweight leave-in conditioner can provide extra hydration and help tame frizz.

  • Oil treatments:  Natural oils like argan oil or avacado oil can add shine and moisture.


2. Fight the Frizz

  • Humidifier:  Adding moisture to the air in your home can make a big difference.

  • Anti-static products:  Look for hairsprays or serums specifically designed to combat static.

  • Silk or satin pillowcases:  These create less friction than cotton, reducing frizz and breakage.


3. Protect from Hat Hair

  • Silk scarf:  Wearing a silk scarf under your hat can help prevent friction and static.

  • Loose hairstyles:  Avoid tight ponytails or buns that can create creases and breakage.

  • Dry shampoo:  If your hair gets flat from hat wear, use a dry shampoo to add volume.


4. Don't Forget Your Scalp

  • Gentle shampoo:  Use a sulfate-free shampoo that won't strip your scalp of its natural oils.

  • Scalp massage:  Regular scalp massages can improve circulation and promote healthy hair growth.

  • Exfoliate:  If you're experiencing dandruff or flakes, try a scalp scrub to remove dead skin cells.


5. Healthy Habits for Healthy Hair

  • Hydrate from within:  Drink plenty of water to keep your body and hair hydrated.

  • Eat a balanced diet:  Make sure you're getting enough nutrients that support hair health, like protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids.

  • Manage stress:  Stress can contribute to hair loss, so find healthy ways to manage it, like exercise, yoga, or meditation.
