How To Get Your Hair Ready For Spring

It can be challenging for your to adopt the transition from winter to spring. It is usually fabulous outside with the flowers in bloom and also the time for the flirty dresses to come out of the closet. With hair behaving itself, it can be a picture perfect season with you in the center.

Spring means increased moisture in the environment, which in turn can cause problems for Afro-American hair. Here is a look at things you can do to get your hair ready for spring.

  • Do not wash your hair more than once in a week, even during the winters. This can make your scalp and hair excessively dry, also stripping away the natural oils. Excessive washing can cause a lot of frizzing in the springtime, when the moisture content in the hair is higher. This happens since the hair needs water and acquires it from the air.
  • Always use a shampoo that has a low pH and no sulphates. This helps in balancing the amount of natural oils secreted by the scalp, which in turn makes your hair look good. It is also very important to use deep conditioners after shampooing your hair, making sure that water is a primary ingredient in them. Going with natural products is a better choice in the long run.
  • Use oils like coconut, olive, olive, jojoba and avocado directly on the scalp. Heating the oil a little can also help in quick absorption and better conditioning. Just take a small amount on your fingertips and massage gently on your scalp. Let it stay for 30 to 45 minutes and then simply rinse with water.
  • Use protective products before styling your hair, especially if you have to use tools that apply direct heat onto your hair strands. This will protect the moisture from getting evaporated and keep the hair strong to deal with spring, and otherwise as well.
  • Rinse your hair with water alone and let it air dry if you have to cleanse product build-up from the scalp and hair, between shampooing. Water is one of the best moisturizing agents and does not strip away natural oils from the hair.


Preparing your hair for spring comprises primarily of hydration of the hair to avoid frizz as well as lifeless dead ends. You should also keep trimming your hair ends regularly to prevent split ends.
