Which hair care to choose?

Nourishing shampoo

The first step to take care of one’s hair during autumn is to use a nourishing shampoo . This will revive strength in dry, brittle, or damaged hair, especially due to the sun. During summer, sea salt but also chlorine from swimming pools, can damage the hair. When autumn comes along, it’s time to use nutritious and restorative ranges, with gentle formulas, so that you can pamper your hair.

Hair masks

Hair masks  are a sort of "SOS" treatments, which support hair fiber. This type of intense treatment repairs the hair through a targeted formula, which is rich in nutritive active ingredients. Masks are generally used after shampooing (and conditioner, if need be) while taking breaks. To strengthen your hair, the hair mask is applied to the lengths and ends (avoid the roots so that you don’t make the hair greasy), once or twice a week.

Hair oils and lotions

Even though this is intensive care, hair oils or lotions are used differently, compared to masks. Hair oil is applied after washing, to dry or damp hair. It allows both to style the hair and provide structure, especially to curly hair. It also takes nourishing action on the ends. This type of nourishing and fortifying oil is ideal for boosting hair, during seasonal changes.

Hair lotion, on the other hand, is usually applied to the scalp. During autumn, you can use a lotion to help stimulate hair growth. It can also be an anti-dandruff and anti-irritation lotion cure, designed to soothe sensitive scalp.

Hair oil can be used after each wash, several times a week (2 to 3 times) if the hair is extremely dry. The same applies to lotions, which is used if need be, several times a week.

Style your hair without damaging it

To style your hair while nourishing it, you can use a nutritious styling treatment, such as a dry oil or a day cream for hair. In addition to structuring the hair and giving them a bounce, these styling creams  protect the hair fiber from the hair dryer’s heat, but also from external aggression. Last but not least, to avoid damaging your hair, you need to think about using accessories as well, which are adapted to your hair type: wide tooth combs for curly and frizzy hair, and a soft bristle brush for straight hair.

During summer, wearing a hat can help protect your hair from the sun. The same goes for Winter. However, careful with hats that are too tight, as it can exert strong pressure on the roots and as a result, irritate the scalp, but also elastic bands or hair clips which are too tight.
