As we hurtle into a new season, it’s also time to ‘spring into action’ (did you see what we did there?!) with a change of pace when it comes to the best-in-class hair care products for your crowning glory!
The best hair care tips for spring
If you are wondering what are the best hair care products for spring, you are most certainly in the right place! Whilst it’s important to tackle any issues that the cold months of winter have had on your hair, simply shaping up your routine with a review of the best hair care products for the season ahead is enough to take your hair from so-so to so sensational!
When it comes to the best hair care products for spring, it’s worth noting that hydration is still an important factor as we leave winter behind, but also your hair care routine can benefit from hair care products that also protect from the sun as well as adding volume, whilst keeping your hair light and fresh.
Hydration hair care tips
The warmer weather and increased humidity can sometimes lead to frizz or dryness, so it’s important to focus on moisture balance and UV protection. Consider a hydrating or a volumising shampoo (perfect for hat hair!) a lightweight leave-in conditioner as a switch up to the heavy-duty hair masks you have been applying all winter.
If, like us, you have been covering up with hats throughout the colder months, you may find that your hair is a little more prone to breakage or requires some serious detangling action. Get your hair ready for the warmer months and start applying a detangling spray to the ends every other time you wash your hair.
Ten points to Gryffindor if you use one of these fabulous hair care products with heat and UV protection! Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from UV rays to prevent fading and damage, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors in the sun!
Every Coco girl will know the benefits of one of the most talked about hair care products around – a nourishing hair oil! You can still take advantage of hair oils in your army of hair care products, but for spring and the warmer months, consider switching to a lightweight oil or serum to help control frizz and add shine, while preventing split ends.
Of course, how can we talk about hair care products without looking at those all-important finishing products to add shine, texture, and more! One of our go-to hair care product essentials is a lightweight anti-frizz serum or cream that can smooth out your hair without adding weight, especially as spring can bring more humidity, which might cause some unwanted frizz!
