hair care and hair styling during the seasons

Every season has its advantages and disadvantages for your hair. It depends on the temperature and the weather what kind of products you will have to use to keep your hair healthy and styled.

In this blog post I will show you per season what products would be smart to use to keep your hair healthy. I will also let you know which products you better can avoid during certain seasons and weather conditions. That way you know how to care for and style your hair during all seasons.

Best hair care and hair styling practices in summer

Considering we are now in the summer season, it makes most sense to start with that one. In the summer temperatures are usually higher and there is also more sunlight and UV-radiation. That also has an effect on your hair.

Your skin gets damaged when you spend too much time in the sun. The same happens to your hair. Too much sunlight and UV-radiation will make your hair dry and dull. That is why it is important to nourish and hydrate your hair to prevent this from happening. Especially when you spend more time outside during the summer.

When the temperatures rise in the summer, you might also go to the beach or the pool more often. Salty water or chlorine are both not great for your hair when exposed to it too often and too much.

In the summer you also sweat more. Being outside a lot makes you shower more often. Washing your hair too often can cause dry and limp hair. That is also something to remember when you are enjoying your summer, but also want to keep your hair in good shape.

So, basically it is most important in the summer season to keep your hair nourished and hydrated. You can do that with a conditioner, but when you notice your hair is really dry, then you might want to use a hair oil. Especially when you blow-dry your hair often, then you really want to make sure your hair gets nourished and hydrated enough. It is recommended to apply a pre-styling spray when blow-drying your hair. Then it will be protected against the heat of your blow-dryer.

Best hair care and hair styling practices in autumn

In autumn it starts to become colder and usually it also gets rainier and windier. Cold, rain and wind can all damage your hair. Rain and wind will also make your hairstyle lose its shape and hold. Especially when you use water based products, then this will happen faster in the autumn season.

So, in that case it can perhaps be better to use other products in autumn. That will prevent your hair from losing shape and hold when it rains or when it is windy. A few examples of products like that are hair waxes, hair clays, pastes and other product that are more wax or clay based.

The benefit of these hair styling products is that they provide a higher hold, so your hair will keep its shape longer. And these products do not dry in your hair, so you can always restyle them when your hair needs it after a bit of rain and wind in autumn.

Products to avoid in autumn are pomades, hair creams, hair gels and other water based products. These products dissolve in water faster, so when it rains these products can turn into gunk. Then you basically have to wash your hair and start over, because your hair lost all its hold and shape.

This happened to me in the past when I was still using cheap products, like cheap hair gel from the supermarket or drugstores. If you do like these kinds of product, then you can better switch to an oil based pomade in autumn.

With all that rain, wind and perhaps colder weather, your hair is subjected to many harmful things during autumn. So, a good cleansing is recommended. In the Moquer shop we have a large selection of shampoos for men that can help you out when you got soaked again in the autumn season.

Best hair care and hair styling practices in winter

In the winter you can usually expect the coldest temperatures. That means your hair will be subjected to the coldest weather in the winter. That is why your hair will primarily need healthy hair care products to keep it healthy and shiny.

So, a must-have product to use during the winter season is a conditioner. Every time you wash your hair with a shampoo, you should follow up with a conditioner. Then your hair will be nourished with natural ingredients and moisture will be replenished. When you notice that your hair is very dry, then you could opt for a leave-in conditioner or a hair oil for even more hydration.

When it comes to hair styling products, it is similar to the Autumn season. You might want to cut back on the use of water based products. Especially when the temperatures are around freezing, these products would get very stiff in your hair and that does not benefit your hair. During the winter season the weather conditions are usually harsher and more unpredictable, so choose a hair styling product that stays flexible, like a good clay, wax or paste.

These products will not dry in your hair, so restyling is possible when needed.

Best hair care and hair styling practices in spring

spring is probably the easiest season on your hair. In spring the temperatures are usually not too extreme. It will not be excruciating hot and not extremely cold. It is usually also not as windy and rainy as it can be during the Autumn season. That is why the spring season is the mildest season for your hair.

That means that there are less restrictions when it comes to product use in spring. The weather conditions play a smaller part, so you have more hair product options. If it happens to be raining or be windy on a certain day, then you just pick a different product that day.

A shampoo is always recommended of course, also in spring. It usually is smart to use a conditioner afterwards when you want to keep your hair healthy. If you do notice that your hair is dry during the spring season, then you can apply a leave-in conditioner or a hair oil, as mentioned before in this post.

Looking for a great hair styling product to use in spring when people-watching on a nice terrace? In that case you can go for a pomade to achieve these slicker hairstyles. A great look that will stand out.

Conclusion

As you have read in this blog post, the seasons have all different effects on your hair. It might be tempting to just use the same products for your hair during the whole year, but each season will require a different approach and different products. When it comes to hair styling, it is no different. Especially when you go for a shorter look in the Summer and a longer hairstyle during the Winter season. Then you know for sure you will need different hair styling and hair care products.

It is primarily very important to check how your hair responds to certain weather conditions. When your hair feels dry and dull, then you know you need to start using a conditioner or even more hydrating products. When your hair gets frizzy because of a higher humidity, then you need to look for products that reduce frizziness. Look at your hair often and feel it to see how it is doing. Based on that you can make decisions to change your hair care or hair styling routine during the different seasons to keep your hair healthy and styled.
