How to Care for Your Hair in Autumn

Autumn brings with it changes in the weather, dropping temperatures and increased dryness in the air, which can negatively affect the health of our hair. If we don't take proper precautions, it's possible that our locks may look duller, frizzy and experience more pronounced hair loss during this season. In this post, we're sharing some tips for caring for your hair in autumn and keeping it as radiant as ever.

Tips for caring for your hair in autumn

With proper care and some key products, you can keep your hair healthy, strong and vibrant throughout this entire season. Below, we share several tips that will help you care for your hair in autumn, including treatments and products that will make a difference.

1. Maintain hydration

The dry and cold autumn weather can strip away the hair's natural moisture, making it more prone to dryness and frizz. To combat this, it's essential to maintain constant hydration both with hair masks and daily-use products. Use moisturising hair masks once a week, especially those containing oils such as argan, coconut or jojoba. These oils deeply nourish the hair and help seal in moisture, leaving it softer and shinier.

2. Nourish your hair from within

External hair care is essential, but nourishing it from within is the key to keeping it strong and preventing the hair loss that typically occurs in autumn. This is where nutricosmetics play an important role. GOLD COLLAGEN® HAIRLIFT is a food supplement that is formulated with Hydrolysed Marine Collagen, Rocket Extract, Biotin, Zinc, Vitamin C, Rosemary, Hydrolysed Keratin and other essential vitamins to strengthen hair, improve its elasticity and promote its growth. This supplement helps reduce hair loss and improves its appearance from within, contributing to thicker, healthier hair that's more resistant to external aggressors.

3. Use an overnight treatment

Autumn is the perfect time to include overnight hair treatments in your care routine. Whilst we sleep, the body enters repair mode, which makes it an excellent opportunity to deeply nourish the hair. The SCALP REVIVAL hair serum is ideal for this. This treatment revitalises the scalp, helping to balance sebum production and nourish the follicles from the root. Apply the serum before going to bed to repair the damage accumulated from using heat styling tools or environmental conditions. The following morning, you'll notice a healthier scalp and softer, shinier hair.

THE NATURAL HAIR CYCLE 

The natural hair growth cycle can be interrupted by several factors: genetics, stress, pollution, diet, hormones, cosmetic treatments or even excessive washing, amongst others.

At Minerva Research Labs we understand the importance of maintaining strong, voluminous and healthy hair. Supplementation with high-quality nutrients and ingredients is fundamental to maintaining a natural and healthy appearance of the hair.

4. Moderate the use of heat styling tools

Heat styling tools such as hairdryers, straighteners and curling irons can weaken the hair, especially when cold weather already makes it more fragile. To avoid damage, try to moderate their use during autumn and, when you do use them, don't forget to apply a heat protectant. Allowing your hair to air-dry is also an excellent option when temperatures permit, which reduces exposure to unnecessary heat.

5. Use gentle and protective products

Choose shampoos and conditioners that are gentle and don't contain sulphates or alcohol. These ingredients tend to dry out the hair, stripping away the natural oils that protect the hair fibre. Opt for products with nourishing ingredients such as biotin, keratin and proteins that strengthen the hair from the root. Additionally, when you go outside, protect your hair from wind and cold by wearing hats or scarves that won't damage it, such as those made from cotton or soft wool.

Autumn doesn't have to be the season when your hair suffers most. By following these simple but effective tips, you'll be able to maintain healthy, strong and shiny locks throughout the entire season. It's not just about maintaining a hydration routine, but also nourishing the hair from within with supplements such as GOLD COLLAGEN® HAIRLIFT, the specialist in hair growth, and caring for the scalp with specific products such as the SCALP REVIVAL serum. By incorporating these treatments and habits into your daily routine, you'll be prepared to face the challenges that autumn can bring to your hair, showing off radiant locks no matter what time of year you find yourself in.
