As the leaves change color and temperatures drop, your hair needs a little extra love. Cooler weather, wind, and seasonal humidity shifts can leave your strands dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Here’s a guide to maintaining healthy, shiny hair this fall—complete with KEVIN.MURPHY and Kérastase product recommendations from pros.
1. Combat Dryness & Frizz Caused by Cooler Weather
Fall air tends to be drier, which can strip hair of its natural moisture. To prevent frizz and breakage:
- Use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner:
- KEVIN.MURPHY HYDRATE-ME.WASH & RINSE – Infused with Kakadu Plum and aloe vera, this duo hydrates and softens dry hair without weighing it down.
- Apply a hair oil:
- KEVIN.MURPHY YOUNG.AGAIN OIL– Protects hair from dryness and environmental stressors while adding smoothness.
- Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil – Lightweight and deeply nourishing, it restores luster and manages frizz.
Pro tip: Apply hair oil to damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Damp hair helps the oil absorb better and seal in moisture.
2. Protect Hair from Wind and Temperature Changes
Fall winds can tangle your hair and make it more prone to breakage. Shield your strands with protective styling and products:
- Protective hairstyles: Low buns, braids, or ponytails reduce exposure to harsh wind.
- Heat protectants for styling:
- KEVIN.MURPHY HEATED.DEFENSE – A lightweight spray that shields hair from styling heat while locking in moisture.
- Kérastase Discipline Keratine Thermique – Ideal for smooth, frizz-free styles even on windy days.
3. Best Deep-Conditioning Masks for Fall
As the season changes, your hair will benefit from weekly deep conditioning to maintain softness and elasticity:
- KEVIN.MURPHY HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE – Rich in Kakadu Plum and Manketti Oil, it provides long-lasting hydration and shine.
- Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense – Perfect for fine to medium hair, this mask intensely nourishes and softens dry, sensitized hair while improving manageability.
- Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense Riche – Ideal for medium to thick hair, it deeply hydrates and revitalizes strands, leaving hair silky, glossy, and easier to style.
4. Styling for Autumn Humidity
Fall humidity is lower than summer, so your hair care routine may need tweaks:
Lightweight styling products: Creams or serums prevent frizz without adding heaviness.
- KEVIN.MURPHY SMOOTH.AGAIN- a leave-in smoothing treatment that helps eliminate frizz, resulting in smoother, silkier more touchable hair.
- Kérastase Discipline Fluidissime Spray – Controls frizz and adds shine while keeping hair flexible.
