How to Transition Your Hair from Summer to Autumn (Without the Frizz or Flakes)

When the weather changes, your hair notices even if you don’t.
One minute you’re soaking up sun, salt, and humidity… and the next? The cool, dry air has arrived, and your hair’s not vibing with it.

You might notice:

• Your scalp feels dry or itchy
  
  
• Your hair loses its shine or softness
  
  
• Frizz shows up more often
  
  
• Products that worked perfectly in summer suddenly feel off
  
  

Just like you wouldn’t wear a linen dress in July and a puffer jacket in January, your hair needs seasonal support too.

Here’s how to transition into autumn with your hair happy, hydrated, and ready for cooler days.

1. Clarify (Gently)

After months of sunscreen, sea spray, and dry shampoo, your hair could be holding onto more than memories. A gentle double-wash with a low-tox, coconut-based shampoo clears out the summer build-up without drying you out.

Try: Strength & Repair Shampoo for oily roots, or our Maxim Moisturising Shampoo if your hair’s feeling brittle and dry at the roots.

2. Hydrate, Don’t Overload

Cooler weather = lower humidity, which means hair can dry out faster. This doesn’t mean you need to drown your hair in oil it just means switching to a richer conditioner or treatment.

Try: Maxim Moisturising Conditioner to soften dry ends and support long-term moisture retention.

3. Bring In a Serum

Frizz, split ends, dullness, this is where a good serum shines (literally). Apply to damp or dry hair and focus on mid-lengths to ends.

Try: Shine & Moisture Hair Serum…  lightweight, non-greasy, and safe for colour-treated hair.

4. Wash Less Often

As temps drop, your scalp tends to produce less oil. That means you might be able to extend your wash days, which gives your hair more time to recover between cleanses.

In-between fix? Our Organic Dry Shampoo absorbs oil and adds volume without the aerosol or harsh chemicals.

5. Protect from Wind + Indoor Heating

Wind can cause tangles and stress on your ends, while heaters dry out your scalp. Try loose styles, silk scrunchies, and avoiding too much heat styling to help your hair adjust.

Final note from Linda…

Your hair’s needs don’t change overnight but little tweaks to your routine can make a big difference. Autumn is the perfect time to reset, replenish, and treat your hair like it’s coming home from a long holiday.
