AUTUMN HAIR CARE: HOW TO KEEP YOUR HAIR HEALTHY, SOFT AND SHINY

Autumn is officially here, bringing cooler mornings, changing temperatures and a new rhythm to our daily routines. Just as we adapt our wardrobe to the new season, our hair care routine deserves a seasonal update too.

During autumn, hair may need extra attention to maintain its softness, shine and healthy-looking appearance. A well-balanced routine focused on gentle cleansing, nourishment and protection can make all the difference.

START WITH GENTLE CLEANSING

After summer, hair often needs effective cleansing without feeling stripped or excessively dry.

Choose a shampoo suited to the current condition of your hair and focus the application mainly on the scalp. Massage gently, rinse thoroughly and avoid using excessively hot water.

If the lengths and ends feel particularly dry, cleansing should always be followed by nourishing care.

BRING NOURISHMENT BACK INTO YOUR ROUTINE

Sun, heat, salt water and chlorine can affect the way hair looks and feels. This is why nourishment becomes especially important as we move further into September.

A nourishing conditioner or treatment can help improve manageability and leave the lengths feeling softer and smoother.

For dry and thirsty hair, the IOHO Professional Absolut Nourishing range is designed around nourishing care, with formulas featuring milk proteins and avocado oil.

MAKE A HAIR MASK PART OF YOUR AUTUMN ROUTINE

If your hair feels particularly dry after summer, your regular conditioner may not always be enough.

Introduce a nourishing mask into your weekly routine, concentrating the product on the lengths and ends. This extra step can help improve softness, manageability and the overall appearance of dry hair.

The Absolut Nourishing Mask is a suitable option for hair that needs additional nourishing and moisturizing care after the summer months.

DON'T FORGET LEAVE-IN CARE

Your autumn routine should not end when you step out of the shower.

Leave-in products are particularly useful when the hair feels dry, frizzy or difficult to detangle. They can complement your wash routine while making everyday styling easier.

The IOHO Professional Absolut Nourishing Bi-Phase Spray is designed for dry hair and can be incorporated into your routine before styling.

PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO THE ENDS

The ends usually show summer damage first. They are the oldest and often the most vulnerable part of the hair, especially if your hair is long, coloured or frequently styled with heat.

A small amount of serum applied to the lengths and ends can help improve their appearance and give the hair a smoother, more polished finish.

The Absolut Nourishing Serum can complete the routine when the ends need additional care.

REDUCE UNNECESSARY HEAT

Autumn often means returning to blow-drying, straightening and more elaborate styling after the relaxed days of summer.

If your hair already feels dry or sensitised, however, this is a good moment to reconsider how much heat you use.

Keep styling temperatures appropriate for your hair type, avoid repeatedly passing hot tools over the same section and allow your hair to air-dry partially whenever possible.

AUTUMN IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR A HAIR RESET

By the middle of September, your hair needs more than simply switching from summer hairstyles to autumn looks. It is an opportunity to assess what your hair actually needs after months of sun, heat, sea water and chlorine.

Build your routine around gentle cleansing, nourishment, a regular mask, leave-in care and attention to dry ends. Consistency matters more than adding too many products at once.

With the right professional hair care routine, you can leave the effects of summer behind and prepare your hair for the cooler months ahead.
