hair in autumn: Is it dry, weak and falling out ? Causes and remedies

We reveal all the secrets to take care of your hair in autumn:

Why hair in autumn is weaker and falls out

• In summer, hair is subjected to the stress of frequent bathing and washing, heat and UV rays, salt, sand and chlorine. All these factors weaken the bulbs, cause hair breakage, split ends and dry them out, causing, at the end of the season, that ugly “straw hair” 😱 effect
• Returning to the city involves an abrupt change in routines and habits, a surge in stress, increased exposure to pollution and smog, and often also a diet less rich in fruits, vegetables and antioxidants
• Finally, with the arrival of autumn, temperatures, climatic conditions and daylight hours change, with direct consequences on our body’s energy, hormone production and hair life cycle

Autumn routine to strengthen your hair

Five basic steps to follow scrupulously this autumn to see results:

1. TRIMMING YOUR HAIR IS A MUST IN AUTUMN

The first thing to do in autumn is to give your hair a nice trim in order to eliminate any split ends and dry ends, and adjust the lengths.

2. ALTERNATES BETWEEN GENTLE AND REVITALIZING WASHES

To rebalance them, use BeOnMe’s Organic Delicate Shampoo: its soft foam based on vegetable surfactants gently cleanses while respecting the pH of the scalp. It is ideal for those with dry hair. It contains organic chamomile, with calming properties, and wheat proteins that moisturize and strengthen the hair, reducing breakage. Every now and then, replace this wash with a co-wash that is even gentler, using the Pre-Shampoo Nourishing Treatment.

Alternate the gentle shampoo with BeOnMe’s Organic Purifying Shampoo, rich in energizing essential oils such as organic mint and lemon, which stimulate microcirculation, counteracting hair loss. It also contains wheat and rice proteins to deeply nourish them and make them more resilient.

Remember that the shampoo should always be diluted before use: pour it on already wet hair and add a few more drops of water on the nape of the neck before foaming it.

3. PREVENT SPLIT ENDS

To prevent your hair from splitting, try to keep the ends nice and moisturized and closed. Before blow-drying your hair, apply a very small amount of BeOnMe Hair Oil to the ends and lengths.

Apply it to your hands first and then transfer it to your hair. One spray is enough, maximum two if you have a lot of hair. It is a dry oil and is not greasy, on the contrary, it has a silky 👌 effect

4. DO A NOURISHING AND RESTORATIVE TREATMENT

Once a week, make a mask with BeOnMe’s Pre-Shampoo Nourishing Treatment. Use it as a compress on damp hair and leave it on for at least 30 minutes. It’s great for all hair types, especially dry and weakened hair.

You can keep it on all night with the help of a towel or cap. It contains rich and nourishing oils such as olive or organic jojoba oils with extraordinary emollient properties. It also contains vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant and elasticizer that prevents hair aging, seals the cuticles and gives light and softness.

5. Scrub your scalp

Once in a while, make the Pre Shampoo Treatment even more special: after keeping it on and before rinsing it, add a pinch of sugar and gently massage it into the wet scalp: it will cleanse the skin by removing dead cells and impurities, activate microcirculation and help cell turnover. A healthy scalp is crucial for stronger, shinier hair! The results will 😍 surprise you

Bad habits that ruin your hair in autumn

Here are the most common mistakes you should avoid this fall if you want to show off strong and healthy hair:

• Massaging the shampoo into the ends
• Using a blow dryer that is too hot and straighteners
• Brushing your hair too often or forcefully
• Backcombing your hair

5 Fall Foods That Are Good For Your Hair

How to dry your hair properly

• Pat your hair dry with a soft cotton terry towel

• Close the cuticles by applying very little BeOnMe Hair Oil to the ends before drying the hair

• Set the hair dryer to a medium temperature. It shouldn’t burn your skin

• Keep the hair dryer at a distance of at least 20 cm from the hair

• Direct the air jet from top to bottom, i.e. from the roots to the tips, never the other way around

• Don’t just dwell on one area of your head, but continue to move the air jet in order to spread the heat evenly

• If you have curly hair, use a diffuser, separate and lift the strands with your hands without squeezing them. Just before finishing, turn your head upside down and finish drying, massaging the roots

2 hairstyles to avoid breaking your hair

Use soft elastic bands and choose hairstyles that don’t cut your hair:

low tail

Tie your hair in a low ponytail using a colored cloth ribbon with long tails, or a soft elastic band that won’t break your hair.

Leave a few shorter strands out at the front, for a jaunty effect. For a more elegant and composed touch, on the other hand, keep your hair at bay by wiping a very light veil of Hair Oil.

soft braid

Gather your hair into a soft braid: start it at the neck and braid it without tightening the hair too much. Use a soft fabric elastic band or a small scrunch.

For a more elegant touch, cover the elastic with a light cloth ribbon and secure it with a bow.
