Spring is right around the corner—but are you ready for it? More pertinent to today’s blog post: Is your hair ready for it?
As the seasons change, it’s important to make little tweaks and modifications to your daily hair routine, ensuring that your hair looks its healthy, vibrant best in the weeks ahead, and also preparing it to withstand changes in the temperature.
So what do you need to be doing to get your hair spring-ready? Allow us to make a few suggestions.
Get a Spring Trim
First, as you notice the weather getting warmer, we recommend making an appointment for a spring cut. You’re probably going to be letting your hair out during the spring, and the last thing you want is jagged edges and split ends. Snipping off the old hair and making room for new hair to grow is the best way to ensure your hair looks its best.
Plus, if you’ve had your hair in a protective knot or bun all winter, you may be ready to try out a whole new style! Regardless, make an appointment with your stylist sooner rather than later.
Start Using Natural Oils
We also recommend that, as spring approaches, you start protecting your hair with some light, natural oils. Olive oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil are all good ones to try. Put a few drops in your hair before you shampoo it, and even consider leaving some in your hair overnight. Make sure your hair’s natural moisture is locked into place, and that its external sheaf is protected from the rigors of daily hair maintenance.
Vary Your Styling
One way to protect the length of your hair is to change the way you wear it from day to day. Wearing your hair out some days is great, but it’s also wise to occasionally wear it in mini twists or braids. If you choose a braid, just remember to not make it too tight! Give your hair a little breathing room!
Protect Your Hair on Chilly Mornings
Finally, remember that one of the worst things you can do to your hair is to go outside with your hair still damp, particularly on cold days. Wet hair is easily damaged by cool weather, so if the mornings are still a little brisk—especially at the beginning of spring—make sure to dry your hair completely before you go out, or else protect it in a hat or a scarf.
