Spring Hair Reset: What Your Hair Needs Now

Winter can be tough on your hair. Between the dry air, hats, and heat styling, it’s no surprise if your ends feel brittle, your curls have lost their bounce, or your scalp feels off. If you’re craving a fresh start, now’s the perfect time to give your hair some attention and set yourself up for the season ahead.

Here are five simple ways to reset your hair routine for spring—no overwhelm, just what actually works.

1. Start Fresh with a Clarifying Treatment

Over time, product buildup, dry shampoo, and environmental stress can weigh your hair down and dull your shine. A good clarifying shampoo or scalp scrub once or twice a month helps clear that out, bringing back volume, curl definition, and overall bounce.

You don’t need to use it every wash, just once every few weeks makes a difference.

Product picks:

• Awaken Scalp Detox - A scalp detoxifying and exfoliation treatment.

• Olaplex No.5 Scalp Longevity Treatment- Balancing, strengthening, anti-aging scalp serum to protect hair health

(Or ask at your next appointment and I can help you find the right one for your hair type!)

2. Hydrate Smarter, Not Heavier

In winter, we tend to layer on intense masks and creams. But as the weather shifts, your hair likely needs lighter hydration more often, not just the occasional deep condition.

Try adding a nourishing mask once a week and keep a light leave-in conditioner on hand for day-to-day softness—especially if your hair is curly or color-treated.

Current favorites:

• Amika Soulfood Mask - a vitamin and nutrient packed hair mask that deeply conditions and softens strands

• Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask - weekly deep moisture hair mask to repair hair damage and dryness.

3. Book That Trim (Your Ends Will Thank You)

A seasonal haircut helps remove winter damage, reshape your style, and support healthy growth. Even a light dusting can make your hair feel softer, fuller, and easier to manage.

Spring is also a great time to refresh your color or start growing something new—especially if you’re planning ahead for summer events.

4. Protect Your Hair from the Weather Shift

As the sunny days get longer, your hair needs a little more defense. That includes UV protection, humidity control, and a heat protectant any time you blow dry, diffuse, or flat iron.

If frizz or puffiness has already crept in, sealing your style with a lightweight oil or anti-frizz cream can make a huge difference.

Top picks:

• Amika The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray - shields hair from frizz, humidity + 450° F heat.

• Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil - weightless styling oil for instant shine and protection.

5. Simplify Your Routine (And Let It Support You)

You don’t need a dozen products or a complicated system. What you need is a routine that feels doable and gives you real results.

The goal is progress, not perfection- especially if you’ve been busy taking care of everyone but yourself.

If you’ve been feeling off lately, like your self-care has taken a backseat, you’re not the only one. This might be the season to begin new rituals just for you- starting with how you care for your hair, your body, and your time.

What’s Next?

Small changes go a long way. Try a clarifying wash, schedule that trim, or swap in a better product for what you’re already using. You deserve to feel good—not just when you leave the salon, but every day!
