As we welcome longer days, warmer weather, and the first signs of spring, many of us refresh our skincare routines and wardrobes, but what about our hair? While spring is often associated with renewal and growth, it can also bring challenges for hair health, especially when it comes to moisture retention and breakage. Just like your skin, your hair reacts to seasonal shifts. Warmer temps, rising humidity, and longer sun exposure can leave your locks feeling less like a shampoo commercial and more like a tumbleweed situation. If you’ve noticed extra frizz, dryness, or a mysterious increase in breakage, you’re not imagining it, spring is secretly sabotaging your strands.

Why Is Spring Tough on Hair?
When temperatures rise and UV rays intensify, your hair’s moisture levels drop. Add in environmental factors like pollen, wind, and that dreaded humidity spike, and suddenly your silky strands are frizzy, fragile, and fighting for their life. Curly girls and those with color-treated hair? You’re especially in the splash zone.
How to Keep Your Hair Happy in the Sunshine
Don't worry—you don't need to spend spring hiding under a wide-brimmed hat (although chic sun hats are highly encouraged). Here’s how to show your hair some seasonal love:
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Swap out light conditioners for richer, more nourishing formulas. Weekly deep conditioning masks can bring brittle ends back from the brink.
Get Serious About Sun Protection: UV rays can degrade your hair’s protein structure just like they do to skin. Look for hair products with built-in UV filters—or better yet, top off your look with a cute cap or hat when you’re outdoors for extended periods.
Skip a Shampoo or Two: Overwashing can strip your scalp’s natural oils, which are your hair’s first line of defense. Try washing every other day or using a dry shampoo in between to keep things fresh without overdoing it.
Go Custom: Spring is the perfect time for a hair refresh, and that starts with a personalized care routine. Whether your hair is begging for hydration or your scalp is in SOS mode, a custom plan can help you bounce into the season with healthier, shinier, more resilient strands.
