How to Transition Your Hair from Summer to Fall in McCandless | Craft Collective Salon Group

As the leaves change across Pittsburgh’s North Hills, so should your hair routine. Transitioning from summer sun to autumn air means adjusting your care, color, and styling habits to maintain hydration, tone, and shine.

At Craft Collective Salon Group in McCandless, our stylists guide clients through seasonal changes with customized treatments and eco-friendly products that keep hair vibrant through fall and winter.

Here’s how to make that shift seamlessly.

1. Refresh Your Color

Summer sun, chlorine, and salt can fade and dull your color. Fall is the perfect time to rebalance your tone — warming it up slightly or deepening it for the new season.

We use Wella Shinefinity glosses to restore reflective shine and Aveda Full Spectrum color for plant-powered tone refreshes.

For examples of trending hues, see Top Hair Colors Trending Near Ross Park Mall.

2. Hydrate After Summer

Humidity and heat often disguise dryness. As cooler air arrives, hair can quickly become brittle without added moisture.

We recommend weekly treatments like:

• R+Co Bleu De Luxe Reparative Mask for rich hydration

• Aveda Nutriplenish Deep Moisture for all textures

• Wella FusionPlex Mask for bond repair and softness

  
  

Maintain your results with our guide, The Ross Township Guide to Healthy Hair Year-Round.

3. Gloss to Add Shine

Fall light is softer — which makes reflective shine even more beautiful. A glossing service adds tone, closes the cuticle, and gives that smooth “just styled” appearance.

Pair your gloss with subtle lowlights or a root shadow to add depth and seasonal richness.For a full explanation, see The Ultimate Guide to Hair Glossing in Pittsburgh’s North Hills.

4. Adjust Your Home Routine

What worked in July won’t work in October. Switch to richer conditioners and limit heat styling where possible.

Our McCandless stylists suggest:

• R+Co Gemstone Shampoo & Conditioner for color protection

• Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep for humidity control

• R+Co Bleu Essential Hair Tonic for daily moisture

5. Schedule a Trim

Post-summer trims remove sun-damaged ends and keep your style crisp for fall. This small refresh boosts health, manageability, and style retention.

6. Style for the Season

Fall hair is all about texture and movement. Soft curls, polished blowouts, and dimensional color look especially stunning against Pittsburgh’s fall backdrop.

7. Protect Against Static and Dryness

As indoor heating returns, hair becomes more prone to static and flyaways. Incorporate leave-in conditioning sprays and anti-static serums to maintain smoothness.

Our stylists love Wella Oil Reflections Serum and R+Co Bleu Optical Illusion Oil — both lightweight and planet-friendly.
