Healthy Hair in Autumn: A Guide to Seasonal Transitions

There’s something grounding about autumn. The light softens. The air cools. Our pace slows. As the season shifts, so do our routines, including how we care for ourselves. For hair, fall can bring a particular kind of sensitivity: the lingering effects of summer, increased dryness from colder air, and the reintroduction of heating indoors. This transition deserves care. Which is one reason why we developed the world’s first natural hair tonic to fight the harsh effects of hard water: PLUME.

Shedding Season

It’s natural for hair to shed a bit more in autumn. Just like trees drop their leaves, our bodies adapt to seasonal shifts, but the increase in shedding can feel unsettling. Focus on gentle handling, minimal tension, and nourishing from the inside out. Hydration and diet (hello, omega-3s) play their part.

Air, Moisture, and Balance

With cooler, drier air comes the need for moisture. Hair may feel brittle, ends may split more easily. Now is the time to reach for leave-in hydration and richer oils. Reduce overwashing. Embrace protective styles. Add a humidifier to your space. A small shift in your environment can make a quiet difference.

Rituals Return

Autumn calls for inward rhythms. As our routines become more grounded, hair care can be a ritual that re-centers us. An evening rinse. A few drops of oil massaged into the scalp. A weekly mask. These acts of care become gestures of presence.

Local Note: Coastal Autumn in France

In places like Biarritz or Marseille, the sea still draws us in. But post-surf hair needs attention, especially with lingering salt, sand, and early autumn sun. A mineral-lifting tonic or rinse can help remove buildup while maintaining softness. Think reset, not strip. Grab a bottle to protect your locks here.

A Seasonal Shift in Care

There’s no need for a complete overhaul, just a thoughtful transition. What supported your hair in summer may not serve it now. Autumn asks for subtlety. A slower pace. Slightly deeper nourishment. A new rhythm, grounded in the season.
