PREPPING YOUR HAIR FOR FALL: 5 THINGS TO DO BEFORE SUMMER ENDS

Pro Tip: Seasonal transitions aren’t just for your wardrobe—your hair needs one too.

As summer winds down, many of us are already pulling out cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice everything. But before you jump into autumn full force, don’t forget about your hair. After months of sun exposure, humidity, saltwater, and chlorine, your strands are likely craving some TLC—and fall is the perfect time to reset your routine.

Here’s how we recommend preparing your hair for the new season at Salon 37.


1. Trim Those Sun-Fried Ends

Even if you’re growing your hair out, a quick end-trim is essential. Summer damage leads to brittle, dry ends that split and break. A dusting or light shaping can refresh your look without taking off too much length.

Salon Tip: Schedule a trim as soon as the seasons start to shift—it’ll give your style structure and keep your hair healthy heading into cooler months.


2. Clarify to Remove Buildup

Between dry shampoo, sunscreen residue, pool chemicals, and sweat, your scalp can get congested. A clarifying treatment will deep-clean your scalp and hair without stripping it of moisture.

We offer gentle scalp detox treatments at Salon 37 that exfoliate and balance your scalp, leaving it fresh and ready to grow stronger hair.


3. Switch Up Your Shampoo & Conditioner

Just like your skincare routine changes with the weather, so should your haircare. Cooler, drier weather means your strands will need more hydration and nourishment.

Try This: Swap your lightweight summer shampoo for a sulfate-free, moisture-rich formula. Ask your stylist what’s best for your texture and hair goals.


4. Add a Deep Conditioning Treatment

Before you dive into fall color or smoothing treatments, give your hair a serious boost with a deep conditioning or bond-building treatment. These treatments strengthen the hair from within and can even help repair sun or chemical damage.

At Salon 37, we love using moisture masks and bond-repairing services as a reset for tired hair.


5. Refresh Your Color—or Try a New One!

Summer can fade even the most vibrant shades. Fall is a great time to tone brassy blondes, deepen brunettes, or try something completely new. Think rich caramel, copper, or dark chocolate tones—colors that pop against fall fashion.

Not ready to commit? Try a glossing treatment for a color boost and a healthy shine without the full dye job.
