Seasonal hair care: tips for spring and summer

Our hair, much like our skin, is influenced by the changing seasons. As the weather shifts from the cold, dry winter months to the warm and humid days of spring and summer, our hair's needs also evolve. Adapting your hair care routine to match the season can help keep your strands healthy, hydrated, and resilient. In this guide, we’ll explore the best hair care practices for spring and summer to ensure optimal hair health all year round.

Spring Hair Care: Revitalizing After Winter

As winter fades away, our hair often carries the aftermath of cold, dry air, indoor heating, and lack of moisture. Spring is the perfect time for a refresh—cleansing, hydrating, and preparing your hair for the warmer months ahead.

1. Clarify and Detox Your Scalp

Winter can lead to product buildup, excess oil, and dry flakes on the scalp. Start your spring hair care routine with a deep cleanse:

• Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove buildup and impurities.
• Opt for scalp exfoliation treatments to promote circulation and healthy hair growth.
• Massage your scalp regularly to stimulate blood flow and encourage hair renewal.

Recommended product: Ducray Squanorm Anti-Dandruff Shampoo – Helps remove excess oil and dandruff while refreshing the scalp.

2. Trim Away Winter Damage

Dry, brittle ends from winter need a fresh start. Schedule a trim to remove split ends and prevent further breakage. Even if you're growing your hair out, a slight trim will keep it looking fresh and healthy.

3. Hydrate and Strengthen

Spring air can still be unpredictable—sometimes humid, sometimes dry. Keeping your hair hydrated is key:

• Switch to a lightweight moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
• Use a leave-in conditioner or hair serum to maintain hydration without weighing your hair down.
• Deep condition weekly with nourishing masks containing ingredients like argan oil, aloe vera, or shea butter.

Recommended product: Ducray Nutricerat Intense Nourishing Hair Mask – Perfect for deeply hydrating and repairing dry, brittle hair.

4. Prepare for Increased Sun Exposure

As the sun becomes stronger, UV protection for your hair is essential:

• Use a UV-protectant hair spray to prevent sun damage.
• Wear a hat or scarf when spending extended time outdoors.
• Apply a lightweight oil or serum to seal moisture and protect from environmental stressors.

5. Adjust Your Styling Routine

Spring calls for more effortless, natural hairstyles:

• Reduce heat styling and let your hair air-dry more often.
• Embrace braids, buns, and ponytails for easy, damage-free styling.
• If using heat tools, apply a heat protectant spray before styling.

Recommended product: TRIX Basic Fibers – Instantly makes hair appear fuller and thicker, perfect for effortless spring styling.

Summer Hair Care: Protecting Against Heat and Humidity

As temperatures rise and humidity increases, summer hair care focuses on protection, hydration, and controlling frizz. Sun exposure, chlorine, and saltwater can also take a toll on your strands.

1. Protect Your Hair from Sun Damage

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from harsh UV rays:

• Apply a UV-protective spray before going out in the sun.
• Consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat to shield your hair from direct sunlight.
• Avoid overexposing your hair to the sun, especially if it’s color-treated.

2. Keep Hair Hydrated and Frizz-Free

Hot weather can lead to moisture loss and frizz. Keep your hair hydrated with:

• Hydrating hair masks with coconut oil, honey, or glycerin.
• Leave-in conditioners to lock in moisture.
• A microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt to dry your hair gently and reduce frizz.

Recommended product: René Furterer Solaire Nourishing Shampoo – Cleanses hair while removing chlorine, salt, and sun exposure damage.
