Your hair undergoes a lot of testing every year as it handles the seasonal change and environmental factors with it. Dry winter air can be exchanged with the hot sun of summer, and changing to the right seasonally-related hair care can keep your locks healthy all over the seasons. At Escobar Salon & Spa , we’re committed to showing you expert advice in making you live with confidence throughout every season. Here’s your guide to seasonal hair care:
Winter: Protect and Hydrate
It is winter time which spells cold air and heating that suck out moisture from your hair, making it even drier, brittle, and prone to breakage.
Winter Hair Care Tips:
1. Deep Conditioning: Use deep conditioning once every week to regain the lost moisture. Seek a hair mask rich in moisturising agents, such as argan oil or shea butter.
2. Don’t Overheat: Face it; the first touch of cold weather makes your hair absolutely dehydrate. So, limit heat styling because you’ll be drying out your hair even more.
3. Scalp Moisturizing: It’s not only the hair that requires moisturizing during the cold winter months, but also scalp. Dry air makes you experience having a flaky scalp at times. Use a moisturizing scalp treatment or coconut oil to maintain moist scalp.
4. Wear a Hat: Wear a hat to keep your hair warm, but line it with silk or satin to avoid friction that may tear your hair.

Spring: Heal and Revive
It’s time to rejuvenate your hair from all that winter’s done to it and get it ready for warmer, sunnier times.
Tips for Spring Care of Hair:
1. Trim Often: Begin spring with a clean cut, thereby eliminating all the splits that you have piled up during winters. This encourages hair to grow healthily.
2. Lighten Up Products: Since spring air is quite humid, lighten up on conditioners and styling products so as not to weight your hair down.
3. Clarify Your Hair: A clarifying shampoo can be really helpful once a month by cleaning out all the product build up due to the richer products used over winter.
4. Moisture Recharge: Spring humidity can lead to frizz. Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner that doesn’t weigh your hair down too much.

Summer: Shield and Hydrate
Protect it against the elements known to cause damage to locks during the summer, such as sun, saltwater, and chlorine. Add extra nourishment while keeping it protected.
Summer Hair Care Tips:
1. Protect Your Hair from UV Damage: It becomes conscious that your hair also needs some sun protection, just as it does for the skin. You should therefore use hair products containing filters against UV protection.
2. Use oil as hydration: You can hydrate your hair by using oils that are hydrating like jojoba or avocado. Their mostly dry nature after chlorine or saltwater exposure can thus be compensated for.
3. Shampoo Before and After Swimming: Pre-treat your hair with fresh water before splashing into the chlorine or saltwater pool or ocean to prevent as much absorption of chemical chlorines or saltwater. In the shower afterward, also shampoo out all remaining chemical or salt residue.
Be Gentle with Heat Styling: Your hair is already stressed from summer heat. Be gentle when using heat tools. Try to air-dry your hair as much as you can. Use heat protectors whenever possible
As the weather gets cold, your hair probably needs some strengthening to prevent shedding and breakage, which may occur during the fall season.
Tips for Fall Hair Care:
1. Strengthening Treatments: Invest in a protein treatment to strengthen your hair and minimize shedding. Protein also helps strengthen strands of hair from inside.
2. Scalp Exfoliation: Scrape off the dead skin cells on your scalp to help promote healthy hair growth. This will ensure that your scalp remains clean at all times and free from dandruff as the weather changes and begins to cool.
3. More hydrating shampoo – Now it’s also time to flip to more hydrating shampoo for protection of hair upon the approaching cooler, drier air.
4. Be Anti-Static: The drier it is, the frizzier your hair can get. Use anti-frizz serums or leave-in conditioners to smoothe out your locks.

Year-Round Hair Care Tips
Year-round, there are a couple of habits you should keep up on for strong and healthy hair:
– Trims: Every six to eight weeks, get a trim just to keep your hair healthy and prevent split ends from setting in.
– Hydration: Take sufficient water as you also take it for your skin. Indeed, hydration is the best practice when it comes to hair care.
– A balanced diet: Take a well-balanced diet containing vitamins such as biotin, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids in developing your healthy hair.
– Sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners: Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners so that you will not be taking away your natural hair oils.
