As the temperatures drop, your hair begins a seasonal transition of its own. Months of sun, heat, humidity, chlorine, salt water and extra UV exposure can leave summer hair feeling dry, dull and damaged. Add cooler temperatures and drier air into the mix, and suddenly your go-to summer hair routine may not be enough.
The good news? A few simple swaps can help restore moisture, smooth frizz and bring back serious shine. Consider this your ultimate fall hair care reset.
1. Start With a Moisture-Focused Cleanse
Summer can be tough on your strands, so fall is the perfect time to shift the focus from simply cleansing to cleansing and conditioning.
Reach for a moisturizing shampoo that effectively cleanses without leaving hair feeling stripped or dry. Saints & Sinners Velvet Divine Moisture Shampoo gently cleanses while helping replenish much-needed moisture, making it an ideal first step for hair that has spent the summer exposed to sun, heat and environmental stressors. Vegan and free of stripping SLS and SLES sulfates, Velvet Divine Moisture Shampoo also protects fragile colored strands as well.
Follow with Velvet Divine Daily Conditioner to help soften, smooth and detangle while restoring that silky, touchable feel we all want heading into cooler weather. This is a crucial step in priming your canvas for styling.
2. Add a Weekly Deep-Conditioning Ritual
If your hair is feeling particularly dry, brittle or lackluster after summer, consider going a little further with your conditioning routine.
Enter Saints & Sinners Velvet Divine Hair Masque, a deeply moisturizing hair masque that helps nourish dry, damaged strands while improving softness, smoothness and shine. Velvet Divine Hair Masque replenishes exactly what your hair craves, both moisture and strength making it the perfect choice for all hair types.
3. Don't Skip Leave-In Conditioner
Cooler weather doesn't mean your hair suddenly stops needing hydration once you leave the shower. A leave-in conditioner can provide another layer of moisture while helping keep strands manageable throughout the day.
Apply Velvet Divine Leave-In Conditioner to damp hair before styling to help hydrate, soften, detangle and smooth. It's especially useful as fall progresses and indoor heating begins pulling moisture from the air. Velvet Divine Leave-In Conditioner also utilizes self-leveling conditioners so your hair is always left with a treatment customized for you without leaving hair greasy.
4. Fight Fall Frizz Without the Weight
Frizz isn't just a summer problem. Changes in temperature, rain, wind and dry indoor air can all contribute to unruly texture.
Velvet Divine Styling Potion helps smooth frizz and create a polished finish without leaving hair feeling stiff, crunchy or weighed down. Work a small amount through damp hair before styling for smoother, more manageable strands. You can also use Velvet Divine Styling Potion on dry hair to calm erratic texture, smooth the frizzies and add additional humidity resistant shine!
5. Bring Back the Shine
Summer can leave even healthy hair looking dull. Fall is the perfect time to bring back that glossy, expensive-looking glass finish.
Use a small drop of Illuminati Divine Shine Holographic Serum on damp hair prior to heat styling for protection, smoothness and reflective shine. You can also finish your routine with a small amount of Illuminati Divine Shine Holographic Serum for instant, ethereal shine and a sleek, polished appearance. Concentrate primarily on the mid-lengths and ends, where hair tends to show dryness and damage most. Illuminati Divine Shine Holographic Serum is a concentrated treatment oil meets smoothing serum loaded with botanicals unlike most water based products currently on the market.
6. Give Your Hair and Your Blowout a Break
One of the easiest ways to minimize unnecessary heat styling is to stretch the time between washes. Superfresh Divine Dry Shampoo refreshes hair between shampoo days while helping absorb excess oil, sebum and adds fresh, effortless volume.
Fewer wash-and-style cycles can also mean less frequent exposure to blow-dryers and hot tools—a welcome break for post-summer hair.
Your Fall Hair Reset Starts Now
Transitioning your hair from summer to fall doesn't require completely reinventing your routine. Focus on replenishing moisture, smoothing frizz, protecting stressed strands and restoring shine.
With a little extra hydration—and the right Saints & Sinners products—dry, dull post-summer hair can give way to soft, smooth, ridiculously shiny strands just in time for sweater weather.
Sinfully Good Styling!
