Spring is a major transition period for hair, especially for naturally dry and sensitive textures like curly, coily, or kinky hair. These hair types tend to be more porous and fragile, reacting strongly to climate shifts, ambient humidity, and seasonal hormonal changes.
As temperatures rise, humidity fluctuates, and the environment shifts, both the scalp and hair fiber enter a new phase. This can lead to increased hair shedding, a loss of curl definition, frizz, or dehydrated lengths.
That’s why it’s essential to adjust your routine to meet the specific needs of spring. This season is perfect for deep cleansing, intense hydration, fiber protection, and restoring bounce and shine to your curls. Here are our tips for building an effective and natural spring routine for curly hair.
1. Understand how spring affects textured hair
In spring, the drop in melatonin production (a hormone influenced by daylight) can trigger more frequent hair shedding. Temperature and humidity fluctuations can also throw off the scalp’s natural balance. On top of that, after winter, the scalp is often clogged with sebum, styling products, and buildup.
The hair fiber itself may be weakened, porous, and dehydrated. Curls become looser, lose definition and elasticity, and become more vulnerable to external aggressions. An ill-adapted routine during this transitional season can make things worse. That's why it’s crucial to switch to a revitalizing spring hair care routine tailored to curly hair.
2. Purify the scalp to restart the hair cycle
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.To stimulate growth, reduce seasonal shedding, and strengthen the roots, it's essential to remove impurities, dandruff, and dead skin cells that block oxygen from reaching the follicles.
