Fall-Proof Your Hair: How to Maintain Healthy Hair in the Fall

Rebecca Buie on September 27, 2023

As the leaves change color and the temperature drops, it’s not just your wardrobe that needs an update; your hair care routine should also transition to accommodate the changing seasons. Fall can be harsh on your hair, with cooler and drier weather causing potential damage and frizz. But fear not! With a few simple adjustments to your hair care routine, you can keep your locks looking vibrant and healthy throughout the autumn season.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate.

Fall weather often comes with lower humidity levels and drier conditions, especially in Utah. This can lead to dry and brittle hair. You can combat this by maintaining proper hydration both internally and externally. Drink plenty of water to keep your body and hair well-hydrated.

Maintain a Healthy Diet

Healthy hair starts from the inside out. No matter the season, incorporating foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids into your diet is crucial. Foods like salmon, avocado, nuts, and leafy greens can promote hair health and prevent dryness and breakage.

Change-up Your Shampoo and Conditioner

As the weather changes, so should your hair care products. Swap out your lightweight summer products for richer, more nourishing options. Look for shampoos and conditioners that contain moisturizing ingredients like Jojoba Esters, Shea Butter, and Argon Oil. Additionally, you can add a deep conditioner treatment to your routine to give your hair an extra boost of hydration.

Hair Care Tips for Fall: Adjusting Your Routine to Prevent Damage and Frizz in Autumn

Kevin Murphy – Hydrate Me Masque

Delivers hydration and moisture to dry hair, or hair that’s been exposed to harsh, dry climates.

Get a Trim!

Regular trims are essential year-round, but they become even more beneficial during the fall. Trimming your hair every 6-8 weeks helps remove split ends and prevents them from traveling up the hair shaft, causing more significant damage. It also promotes healthier and more vibrant hair growth.

Combat Static and Frizz with Hair Oil

Hair oil can be a powerful ally in your battle against static and frizz, especially during the fall season. As the air becomes cooler and drier, our hair tends to lose moisture, which can lead to static electricity and those pesky frizzies. Applying a small amount of hair oil can work wonders. These oils act as a natural barrier, sealing in moisture and preventing the hair from absorbing excess humidity from the air. By adding a protective layer, they not only keep your hair hydrated but also reduce friction between individual strands, effectively taming static and leaving your locks looking smooth and sleek, even on the windiest fall days. Just remember, a little goes a long way, so start with a few drops and work it through your hair for a frizz-free, static-resistant finish.

Living Proof – No Frizz Vanishing Oil

A fast-absorbing oil that vanishes into strands to hydrate and block humidity, leaving hair smooth and shiny.

Taking care of your hair during the fall doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With these simple tips and adjustments to your hair care routine, you can ensure your locks remain luscious and vibrant throughout the season. Embrace the cozy and colorful days of autumn with healthy, gorgeous hair.

To wash or double wash? The Truth About Getting Cleaner Hair

Rachel Ward on April 12, 2023

Hair washing is an essential aspect of personal hygiene, and many people follow a regular hair-washing routine to maintain the cleanliness and health of their hair. However, there are times when one wash is not enough, and you may need to wash your hair twice to achieve optimal results.

How to wash your hair twice for optimal results:

First Wash: Use a Clarifying Shampoo to loosen up product and oil buildup.
Second Wash: Use a Shampoo tailored to your hair type to clean your scalp and hair shaft.
Condition Your Hair: Use a Moisturizing Conditioner, apply midshaft to ends.

The decision to wash your hair twice should depend on several factors, including your hair type, your lifestyle, and your hair’s current condition. Here are some scenarios when you may need to wash your hair twice:

If You Go 3 or More Days Between Washing.

If you go 3 or more days between washes you could benefit from washing your hair twice. Depending on the level and nature of your daily activities, cleansing once will in most cases not fully clean out all of the buildup. Our hair collects product buildup, dust, dirt, sweat and oils. Cleansing twice will allow the buildup to wash away leaving your hair fresh and clean before conditioning.

If You use Dry Shampoo Regularly.

While dry shampoo is a convenient way to refresh your hair and absorb excess oil without the use of water, it’s important to understand that it does not actually clean your hair or scalp.

Dry shampoo works by absorbing oil and other impurities from your hair, which can build up over time if you rely on it too often. Washing your hair thoroughly is important for removing dirt, sweat, and buildup of oils and products from your hair and scalp. This can help prevent clogged hair follicles, scalp irritation, and even hair loss.

So even if you use dry shampoo, washing your hair twice at least every few days or as often as recommended by your hair type and lifestyle. This will ensure that your scalp and hair stay healthy and clean.

If Your Hair Gets Very Oily.

If your hair gets very oily, washing it twice can help to remove excess oil and buildup from your scalp and hair. The first wash will help to break down and remove the excess oil, dirt, and product buildup that can accumulate on your scalp and hair. The second wash allows the shampoo to fully penetrate your hair and scalp, ensuring that all traces of oil and buildup are removed.

However, it’s important not to over-wash your hair, as this can strip your hair and scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. The frequency with which you should wash your hair depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and individual needs.

If you have very oily hair, you may need to wash it more frequently than someone with dry hair. It’s also important to use a shampoo that’s formulated for your hair type and to avoid using too much conditioner or other hair products that can contribute to oil buildup.

In conclusion, washing your hair twice can be beneficial in certain situations, but it’s not necessary to do so every time you wash your hair. Pay attention to your hair’s condition and adjust your washing routine accordingly. With proper care and attention, you can maintain healthy and beautiful hair.

7 Reasons Women Get Blow Outs

Rachel Ward on November 29, 2019

Often times you might wonder why women get Blow outs?

Myth: It’s because they have a special occasion. The truth is women come in for blow outs on a regular basis to make their hair look nice. You’re probably thinking why do I need someone to do my hair when I can just do it on my own. Here are 7 reasons you should start getting blow outs regularly:

TOO BUSY – between work, husbands, kids, working out, etc. sometimes there just isn’t enough time to keep up with your appearance. That’s why its easy to let the professionals do that for you;) It’s also a great way to relax and have your me time.
TIME SAVER -Believe it or not getting a blowout can really save you time. It only takes about 1 hour and you only need to come in about once a week
LASTS LONGER– Every time I get a blowout I can go days without touching my hair vs when I do it myself. Between the products and professionals they can style your hair the correct way so it lasts longer than when you do it yourself.
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO YOUR HAIR -If you struggle doing your own hair, blowouts are definitely for you. Which is probably most women who haven’t gone to hair school;)
CAN’T GET VOLUME -It is hard to get volume if you have flat, thin hair. With a blowout I can promise that we can get you the volume you never thought you could get.
NATURALLY CURLY HAIR -Naturally curly hair can be hard to deal with. Blowouts can definitely help tame your hair. Also, why put yourself through the arm pain of blowing dry your own hair when you can give that task to the professionals.
RELAXING -Not only are you getting the hair you dreamed of but your also getting one of the best head massages ever and an hour to just sit and relax! Who doesn’t want that?

Just a little Pre-warning: Beautiful hair may be addicting and relaxing.
