Autumn Haircare Tips And Trends
The long hot summer is slowly drawing to an end, and there is a definite nip in the air. Autumn is the perfect time to refresh our beauty routines and brush up on our hairstyles, after months of sun and swimming which may have left our tresses in less than perfect condition. Here are some tips and trends for autumn.
How to get the condition back in your hair
If your hair is looking a bit tired and frazzled after the summer, you could try a bonding product, which are designed to repair damaged cuticles and help prevent split ends. The latest generation of products are light and don’t leave a heavy build-up in your hair, which can weigh it down and make it look dull.
Leave your hair to air dry where possible, rather than use hair dryers and other heated styling products to give it a break. If you swim regularly, invest in a cap to protect your hair from the damaging effects of chlorine.
What we eat also affects the health of our hair. Essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3s, are important to keep your locks looking lustrous. Salmon, mackerel, and sardine, and herring are all rich in omega-3. Other good sources include walnuts, flax seeds, and soybeans.
Autumn hairstyles to try
Once your hair is looking its best again, you might decide it’s time for a trim, or even a complete restyle. After a summer of sweeping long hair back in a pony tail to keep cool, the new season can be a good chance to try out a different look. If you fancy a change, here’s a look at some new trends this autumn.
The Rachel 2.0
Back in the mid 90’s and early 00’s, the hot hairstyle was The Rachel. This was the shoulder-length choppy cut which framed Jennifer Aniston’s face in the hit TV show Friends. Bouncy and full, it suited most people and was quite easy to maintain. Now, a new version is back for the 20’s, according to Glamour magazine.
The newer version is more of a layered bob with flicky ends. It takes some serious blow drying skills to get this look right. Start by creating plenty of volume with a good shampoo, and smoothing out any frizz with a few drops of serum. Divide your hair into sections, and use a rounded brush, or a heated brush to dry each section.
Avoid pulling the hair too tightly, or the result won’t have that signature Rachel bounce. The style works with either a side or a centre part, so just go with whatever suits your face shape best.
70’s waves hair
If you prefer the softer look of loose waves to a more structured choppy look, then the 70’s is your spiritual decade. Big cascading waves of hair are in vogue this year, Glamour reports. If you don’t have naturally wavy hair, you can achieve this style with hot rollers, or by using a curling tong to create tumbling soft curls.
