Pittsburgh spring weather is famously unpredictable. One day it is 70 and sunny, the next it is 40 and raining. Your hair care routine needs to adapt. Here are our stylists' top tips for keeping your hair healthy and looking great through spring.

Humidity Is Coming -- Prep Now

Pittsburgh summers are humid, and spring is when that humidity starts creeping in. If you are frizz-prone, now is the time to book a keratin smoothing treatment. A professional keratin service can reduce frizz for 3 to 5 months, getting you through the worst of the humidity season.

Protect Your Color

Longer days mean more UV exposure, and UV light is one of the biggest enemies of hair color. If you have balayage, highlights, or any color-treated hair, use a leave-in with UV protection. We recommend products from the Wella Professionals care line, available at both our locations.

Lighten Up Your Products

Winter calls for heavy oils and rich masks. Spring is the time to switch to lighter formulas. Swap your thick conditioner for a lightweight detangling spray, and trade your heavy oil for a serum. Your hair will feel lighter, shinier, and more manageable.

Get a Trim

Winter takes a toll on ends. Even if you are growing your hair out, a light dusting or trim removes split ends and keeps your shape looking fresh. Our stylists recommend a trim every 8 to 10 weeks during the transition from winter to spring.
