Essential Tips to Care for Your Hair in Spring
Ready to start prepping your hair for springtime? These tips and essential Davines products will have you relishing silky-smooth, full-bodied, healthy hair during the challenging transitional period.
1. Moisture
Moisture is your best friend and number one ally as spring approaches. Incorporating deep conditioners and hair masks into your routine is the best way to quench your strands. How often to deep condition depends on your individual hair type and level of dryness, but we recommend starting with once a month and increasing to weekly as needed.
2. Restore Shine
Once your hair is properly moisturized, you should see some of its natural luster return. But don't hesitate to boost shine and softness with a special treatment.
3. Combat Seasonal Hair Loss
Spring is for shedding layers, not hair. The stronger, healthier, and more energized your hair, the less likely it is to fall out. Our Energizing line is designed to wake up the scalp and stimulate new hair growth while preventing further breakage.

5. Double shampoo for extra time between washes
If you're daily shampooing, it's time to stop. Less frequent hair cleansing leads to a healthier scalp and healthier hair. Daily hair washing means that its natural protective barrier is removed too quickly, which causes an excessive strain on both the strands and the scalps oil production.
Shampooing only 1 - 3 days of the week is the goal. Leaving the hair that long sometimes means that it's harder to create a lather. If that's the case, do a preliminary shampoo to remove most of the oil and dirt. Then a second shampoo, with much less product, will ensure that a good lather and thorough cleanse are achieved.

6. Minimize seasonal hair loss by upping proteins and vitamins
Increased hair loss can be more common during spring, often due to a vitamin deficiency. An increase of your intake of B vitamins, zinc, copper, vitamin C and protein can help. If the hair loss feels excessive, it's worth investigating bigger issues that include hormonal imbalances, diet, air or water quality and stress. Protein and vitamins can be applied topically to the hair, too, as part of your spring hair care routine.

7. Use cooler water for hair rinsing for smoother hair
If you already have a dry scalp or dry hair, steer clear of using very hot water in the shower. Especially for fine hair which can be quite delicate. Opt for cooler water for rinsing instead if you can bear it. This is because heat opens the cuticle (or surface layer) of the hair which can cause damage to already weaken hair. Cooler water means that the hair's cuticle stays put which leads to a shinier appearance.
Best product for a smoother cuticle: Oi oil applied to the ends of cool, damp hair will seal moisture into it. A few drops will create a smooth, protective surface over the cuticle layer, too.

8. Detangle your hair gently to prevent unnecessary loss or breakage
Detangling hair should be a slow and gentle process using the right tool that will minimize damage. If the tool that you're using isn't smooth and scratches the back of your hand, it's time to upgrade it. If you're detangling wet hair in the shower, make sure that conditioner is applied to the lengths and ends to add extra slip. For very tangled hair, start with the end few inches and work your way up the hair.

Great addition to your spring hair care routine and to use all year round.
