8 tips to spring-proof your haircare routine

The wilds of winter are behind us. Warmer, brighter spring days are incoming - and, with them, a prompt from us to prepare a new hair health game plan. 

Hair Masterclass

Whether good practice meant your hair evaded the worst of the chill or its effects linger via dryness, damage or shedding, knowing your care routine needs to change as seasons shift is key to keeping hair healthy and on best behaviour.

This switch needn’t be complicated though, of course. Simply look and listen to what hair really needs, then read on for 8 top tips on mastering your transition season routine.

  1. Get in trim
    Split ends signal dehydration - no surprise after a depleting winter. Before they begin moving up the hair shaft, book in for a spring trim to eliminate them right away and make way for fresh, new, healthier growth.
  2. Spring clean your scalp
    Winter weather and increased seasonal styling commonly leave a build up of dead skin cells and product on your scalp. This blocks follicles, can trigger flakes or sebum overproduction and leave your scalp sensitive, irritated and stressed. A spring clean will do it a power of good.

    Our Gua sha scalp comb is a great exfoliator. Its gentle jade teeth re-energise, re-open blood and oxygen flow and support an optimal environment for healthy hair growth. The bonus? Our Gua sha marma massage routine is also supremely relaxing - discover it here.

    Also, if you notice an oilier scalp (whether now or further into spring-summer), plan a weekly or fortnightly detox with Kapha clarifying shampoo (even if you’re a Vata and Pitta hair Dosha) and deepen its cleansing action further by working it into your scalp with our Shampoo brush.
  3. …then strengthen it
    Scalp stress, breakage and post-winter shedding all peak around now; the aftermath of cold outside air, dry indoor heat, and friction from hats or scarves. Address them all with consistent daily - or, for boosted results, twice daily - application of Pitta growth serum. You’ll find morning and evening massage with our clinically proven serum extra soothing and conditioning on your scalp, while it works to strengthen hair, reduce breakage and diminish loss.
  4. Lighten up
    We’re huge fans of overnight oiling, especially in winter - an Ayurvedic ritual harnessing rich plant oils to deeply moisturise hair. As higher spring temperatures and humidity set in though, you may prefer a lighter conditioning booster treat. Reach for Leave-in perfecting cream. Our 10-in-1 favourite is silicone-free, ideal for all hair types and proven to both reduce damage and repair broken bonds, leaving hair softer, stronger and smoother.
  5. Defy dullness
    Dull hair is something most of us face during and after winter. No need to worry though. A few tiny drops of Weightless hair oil, smoothed over ends and mid-lengths, revives shine in a flash. 100% natural, ultra-light and suitable for all hair types, it’s also brilliant at concealing split ends until your next appointment, boosting moisture and even enhancing hair colour vibrancy.
  6. Off for early sun? Stay protected
    By winter’s close, we’re all craving warmth. If you’re jetting off, don’t forget hair protection along with your SPF. UV, chlorine and seawater all introduce new challenges. Apply Leave-in perfecting cream to help shield your hair and scalp from undue daily stress and dryness.
  7. Keep your style natural
    On SS26 runways and red carpets, big, bold, polished styles reign. These looks aren’t stiff or crunchy though. Far from it. They’re naturally bouncy, move fluidly and radiate vitality. In other words, they epitomise healthy conditioned hair.

    Achieving this level of healthy shine beyond hair’s surface just takes the right products. Our Ultimate systems offer a full cleanse-to-styling routine tailored to your hair type. Free of SLS or silicones, each exceptional natural formula is designed to penetrate strands - strengthening, hydrating and smoothing; building body, fullness and shine like never before.
  8. Keep spring humidity at bay
    Spring’s moisture-filled air brings frizz for many of us, particularly around hair’s halo area. Keep Flyaway fix in your tote and it doesn’t stand a chance. Silicone-free and ultra-light, our unique natural gel tames frizz in one sweep and holds it in place with zero crunch or stickiness.
