Have you started your Fall curly hair routine? If you have, good for you! But if you haven’t yet considered the needs of your curls now that the temps are dropping, here’s a few things to consider now that Fall is in full swing:
Bring Intention into Your Fall Curly Hair Routine
By now you’ve already pulled out the sweaters and the scarves, the cute boots and coats. And you may even be wearing them. You’ve thought ahead about what you need now that it’s cooler. What about your curls?
Intention is key here. Your objective is to stay one step ahead of your curl needs. That means cleansing and conditioning with purpose, paying extra attention to your methods. You want your scalp and hair really clean, and your hair conditioned. That may mean you’re spending a little more time on wash days and a few extra minutes during styling prep by locking in moisture with an additional step or two.
Even a simple layer of spray-in moisture can do wonders this time of year. We love Innersense Organic Beauty Sweet Spirit Leave In and Original Moxie Curl Basics Moisturizing Leave-In.
Tweak Your Drying
In order to be happier with your curls this time of year, you’ll probably want to blow dry instead of air dry. Take the time to squeeze out your roots to remove excess moisture. Just don’t remove too much!
This is the time of year to utilize blow dry protectants. Innersense Organic Beauty‘s Hair Love Prep Spray is a great one, as is Cult + King’s SETSPRAY.
Bring that intention piece into your blow drying as well. Don’t hover the diffuser in one spot without hitting that cold shot, or you run the risk of frying your curls.
Keep Up Treatments
Your fall curly hair routine isn’t complete without regular treatments, either in salon or at home. If you’re a regular client, chances are you’re already hooked on at-home treatment maintenance and they are a part of your routine. If you’re wondering whether you should modify that routine, just ask me!
Our favorites to boost your fall curly hair routine include Original Moxie HydroFuse, take home versions of Iuveni, Epres, Olaplex and the new Hair Repair from Innsersense Organic Beauty.
Stay tuned, too, because we will be announcing a new secret sauce! I’ve been talking to a few clients about it and I’ve peeped the idea on social, buuuut I’m hoping to assemble custom treatment blends and I’m super excited to tailor treatments to my curlfriends’ individual needs.
Your Scalp is Integral to Your Fall Curly Hair Routine
Scalp care is important year round, and we can go in depth on that in another post. Just remember, a healthy, exfoliated and detoxed scalp leads to healthier, happier curls. Sometimes our scalps can get a little funky this time of year (another reason to cleanse with intention!). Scalps can dry out, they can flake, they can over or under produce sebum. Products like Cult + King TONIC, Original Moxie Scalp Therapy™ Complete Care Lotion and Innersense Enlightenment Scalp Scrub are my go tos right now.
And of course there are a few great scalp oils that are easily worked into your fall curly hair routine so feel free to ask which one is right for you.
