The first crisp autumn days are approaching. At some point, your curls will start to think differently about this. Your curls then seem to quickly develop a mind of their own. Frizz, lifelessness, dryness: these seasonal signals are most common in people with curls. Recognize this? In this blog, you’ll discover exactly what your hair needs now, how to keep frizz at bay, and why Curlsmith will be your savior this coming autumn. 

 

Autumn = curl stress? This is what the season does to your hair

In autumn, your curls lose moisture faster, making them look dull and frizzy. This is partly due to the combination of cold outdoor air and dry heated indoor air. Elasticity decreases, your hair becomes more brittle, and sometimes suddenly feels stiff. Typical autumn behavior of curls; it then feels as if your hair products no longer work like before. That’s why it’s smart to look at your curl routine in autumn and adjust it. What does your hair really need now?

 

Hydration or protein: what does your hair really need now?

Curls are naturally drier than straight hair, so hydration is always important. But in autumn, the balance between moisture and protein also plays a big role. Does your hair feel limp and elastic? Then you need extra protein. Is your hair stiff, brittle, and frizzy? Then your hair needs hydration. Curlsmith is a professional brand that offers various lines to solve these problems. This way, you give your hair exactly what it needs. 

 

Not sure whether to choose hydration or protein? Then take this mini test:

• Gently stretch a wet strand. Does it bounce back? Then you're on the right track. 
• Does it break easily? Then you lack hydration. 
• Does it stay stretched? Then you need protein. 

 

Curl refresh: how to keep your curls looking great between washes

In autumn, you don’t want to wash your hair too often. But that doesn’t mean you have to wake up every morning with a frizzy mess. A good curl refresh is therefore ideal:

• Fill a spray bottle with water + a little leave-in or lightweight curl cream. 
• Spray targeted on dry spots and scrunch your curls back to life. 
• Optionally touch up with a anti-frizz serum or lightweight gel.
