In winter, hair undergoes numerous aggressions that make it drier, duller and more fragile. With the arrival of spring, it is therefore essential to give it a boost of hydration and prepare it for sun exposure.
Discover in this article the right habits to adopt to take care of your hair in spring.
Why adapt your hair routine in spring?
In winter, hair faces many challenges. Winter cold causes moisture loss in the hair, making it drier, more fragile and brittle. Heating also dries out the ambient air, depriving the hair of the moisture it needs.
With the arrival of spring, hair faces new challenges, including exposure to the sun's UV rays. It is therefore essential to adapt your routine.
How to take care of my hair in spring?
To fight against the inconveniences of winter and prevent those of spring, some habits should be prioritized.
Step 1: Refresh your haircut
What if spring was the ideal time to refresh your ends and give your hair a boost?
You probably already know this: trimming damaged ends helps clean up the lengths and promote stronger and healthier regrowth.
There is no rule in terms of haircut frequency; it all depends on the condition of your hair. But one thing is certain: it is better to anticipate than to wait for split ends to set in permanently and travel up your lengths.
Step 2: Reboost hydration after winter
As previously mentioned, in winter, hair is dried out by the cold, so it is essential to deeply hydrate it.
To do this, some ingredients should be prioritized:
- Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to retain water, even in very dry environments, making it the perfect ally to keep your hair hydrated.
- Rice water, used for millennia in Asian traditions, provides intense hydration and nutrition for healthy hair.
- B vitamins: vitamins B5 and B8 fight against hair loss while improving the structure of keratin, the main protein composing the hair. They also help maintain hydration and strengthen the hair.
- Panthenol strengthens the hair fiber and makes styling easier.
Cair’s repairing mask is a powerful moisturizing treatment containing these ingredients. It deeply repairs and nourishes the hair while providing maximum hydration. Its formula, made with 93% ingredients of natural origin, without silicone and sulfate, leaves no suffocating residue on the hair.
Step 3: Adapt your hair care products
What if, for this new season, you opted for light but effective hair care products?
Gentle and lightweight treatments offer many benefits for your hair:
Avoid residue build-up: the composition of conventional hair products is often harmful to the hair. It leaves residues that end up suffocating the hair fiber.
For example, silicone gives the illusion of smoothing the hair fiber and adding shine, but in reality, it forms a suffocating occlusive film around the hair.
Respect the scalp: Lightweight care is gentler on your scalp, unlike more conventional products.
Sulfate, for example, known for its foaming properties, is too harsh on the scalp. Moreover, over time, it dries out and weakens the hair.
Hydrate without weighing down: Lightweight hair care products deeply hydrate the hair without weighing it down or making it greasy. They provide the necessary nutrients while preserving the natural movement of the hair.
Cair’s natural shampoo is formulated with 92% ingredients of natural origin. Without silicone or sulfate, it gently cleanses the hair while removing suffocating residues. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and rice water, it provides intense hydration to the hair fiber. The plant proteins it contains, alternatives to keratin, strengthen the hair and protect it from external aggressions.
Step 4: Anticipate sun exposure
With the arrival of spring, the sun returns. However, it can be harsh on your hair.
Indeed, the sun's UV rays weaken the hair fiber and increase the risk of breakage by dehydrating the hair and damaging keratin.
Additionally, you have probably already noticed that hair tends to lighten when repeatedly exposed to the sun. This natural lightening is due to the oxidation of melanin, which can weaken the hair.
To protect it from the sun, it is essential to use a protective mist.
Cair’s mist protects the hair from pollution, UV rays, and heat by forming a non-occlusive film around the hair fiber. Enriched with 51% active waters of rice, organic grape, bamboo, and raspberry, it brings nutrition, hydration, and strength to the fiber.
Hair is thus protected, soft and shiny.
In addition to a protective mist for your hair, you can wear a hat or style your hair with a bandana.
