How to care for your hair in Autumn

How to care for your hair in Autumn

19th Oct 2025

Here’s your Autumn hair care guide for textured hair — designed to protect your curls from dryness, breakage, and dullness as the weather gets colder.


Autumn Hair Care Guide: Caring for Textured Hair

1. Switch to a Moisturizing Shampoo

  • Use a sulfate-free cleanser that won’t strip your natural oils.

  • Look for ingredients like aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, pumpkin seed oil, argan oil, or shea butter.

  • Cleansing Conditioner: use once a week if your scalp doesn’t get too oily. We do believe that shampooing your hair is important;therefore, we recommend you alternate between your weekly shampoo and your cleansing conditoner, depending on your hair needs on wash day.

2. Deep Condition Weekly

  • As the air gets cooler and drier, moisture retention becomes crucial.

  • Deep condition at least once a week with a product rich in honey,shea butter, coconut cream, baobab seed oil, argan oil, or avocado oil.

  • Apply a heated cap or hot towel to help the conditioner penetrate deeper. If you have low porosity hair, we highly recommend this step.

3. Seal in Moisture

  • Try the LOC or LCO method (Leave-in, Oil, Cream or Leave-in, Cream, Oil).

  • Use a light oil, elixir, or Serum to seal hydration without buildup.

4. Protective Styling

  • Opt for protective styles such as braids, twists, or buns to reduce exposure to cold air.

  • Avoid styles that pull too tightly on your hair (including edges) — tension can cause breakage.

  • If you experience dryness on your scalp, keep your scalp healthy while in protective styles using a light oil.

5. Sleep Smart

  • Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase or wear a satin bonnet/scarf.

  • This prevents friction, frizz, and moisture loss overnight.

6. Trim Regularly

  • Trim your ends every 10-12 weeks to prevent split ends and breakage.

  • Healthy ends help curls maintain their shape and bounce.


7. Hydrate from Within

  • Drink water consistently and eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E.

  • Consider using a humidifier indoors to maintain moisture in the air.


8. Adjust Your Routine

  • You may need heavier creams or butters in fall than in summer.

  • Avoid overloading products—layer light to heavy textures depending on your hair’s porosity.


HAPPY FALL!
