After a long winter exposed to dry air, frizzy locks often need to heal and hydrate during the spring. Both men and women are encouraged to schedule a trip to the hair salon and tweak their at-home regimen for the start of a new season. To keep your mane well-maintained and healthy this spring, follow the advice below. 

How to Care for Your Hair This Spring 

1. Trim Split Ends 

Walking outside with wet or damp hair in winter can leave you with split ends in spring. The cold, dry air causes strands to stiffen and split.

Before splits travel up hair shafts and cause severe breakage, schedule a professional trim. At a hair salon, your stylist will clip away the brittle ends to make way for healthy growth. 

2. Deep-Condition Locks 

Winter’s low humidity and blustery winds can pull moisture from your locks, so get a deep-conditioning treatment at your next trip to the hair salon. The proteins, amino acids, and additional nutrients of the treatment penetrate the hair shaft. This improves elasticity to strengthen locks and prevent breakage. The moisturizing properties will leave strands silky, shiny, and soft to the touch. 

3. Wear a Hat Outside

With warmer weather, you’re bound to spend more time outdoors. Even on overcast days, remember to put on a hat. This will prevent hair protein loss caused by exposure to UVB radiation, as well as color changes triggered by UVA rays. The covering will also shield your scalp to avoid painful burns and blisters.
