October 1st: National Hair Day is just around the corner, offering the perfect opportunity to pamper your locks with some much-needed attention especially as cold autumn winds begin to set in.
Celebrate your hair on National Hair Day with autumn hair care tips and products for a healthy mane from hair expert Eliza Pineda.
Eliza Pineda, the in-house hair care expert at Mayraki Professional, shares several ideas for a nourishing hair care routine to help protect your locks and restore their shine.
“As the leaves change and the air turns crisper, it’s crucial to remember that our hair, just like our skin, undergoes seasonal changes. National Hair Day serves as a timely reminder to prioritise our hair’s health and beauty. During autumn, the drop in humidity levels can leave our hair feeling dry and brittle, so nourishing and moisturizing it becomes paramount. A well-hydrated mane looks more vibrant and stands strong against the challenges of the season, like cooler temperatures and indoor heating. So, this National Hair Day, let’s celebrate by embracing the nurturing power of proper hair care, ensuring our hair shines brightly even as the leaves fall,” shares Eliza Pineda.
3 Tips for Your Autumn Hair Care by Eliza Pineda
These three simple steps recommended by Eliza can help adjust your hair care routine to colder temperatures and revitalise your locks.
Autumn Hair Care Tip #1: Gentle Cleansing
“During the autumn period, it’s important to be extra gentle with your hair, using products that protect the strands and won’t cause extra frizz and breakage. For cleansing, choose a sulfate-free shampoo, such as Mayraki Ultra Repairing & Weightless Moisture Shampoo, a formula that cleans your hair without stripping away the natural oils. It’s important to avoid over-washing your hair during autumn, as frequent washing can lead to dryness. Aim to shampoo your hair every 2-3 days or as needed based on your hair type,” – shares Pineda.
Sulfate and paraben-free and made from sustainably sourced natural ingredients such as Gingko Biloba, Aloe, and Canarium Album Leaf Extract, Mayraki Ultra Repairing & Weightless Moisture Shampoo provides gentle cleansing and nourishment. It’s a perfect shampoo for regular washing that cares for both the scalp and hair strands.
Autumn Hair Care Tip #2: Deep Conditioning
It’s essential to provide hair strands with added moisture and nourishment during the autumnal season to prevent breakage and frizz. Moreover, deep conditioning treatments can restore lustre and vitality to your locks, ensuring they stay healthy, soft, and manageable throughout the autumn time of the year.
Pineda advises: “Using deep conditioning treatments during autumn is crucial because the changing weather conditions can take a toll on your hair. Apply the treatment from mid-length to the ends of your hair and leave it on for the recommended time (usually 10-30 minutes) to allow the ingredients to penetrate and nourish your strands. For an extra boost of moisture, consider using a warm towel or a shower cap to trap heat and enhance the treatment’s effectiveness.”
In response to hair challenges such as breakage, split ends, and severe dryness, Mayraki Professional created their Weightless Essential Oil Nutritive Treatment. This innovative formula harnesses the power of natural ingredients to promote hair health, resulting in hair looking visibly thicker, denser, and fuller. Its floral scent will leave a trail that will be hard to forget as well.
Autumn Hair Care Tip #3: Hydrate From Within
Just like skin, our hair needs hydration both inside and outside. As the weather gets cooler and we get busy with work and study, it’s easy to forget about drinking enough water.
“Don’t forget the importance of hydration from within. Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Proper hydration helps maintain the moisture balance in your hair and promotes overall hair health. Consider incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and walnuts, into your diet, as these nutrients can contribute to healthier, shinier hair,” – concludes Pineda.
Inside-out and from the outside, you can make sure your hair is ready to face the coldest months with ad hoc and pampering treatments so that you can keep shining and enjoy the best of the season.
