Hair Products For Fall & Winter in The Midwest

You would think that a hair product that is good for your hair in the summer would also be good for your hair in the winter. While that can be true, it is not always true. There is a lot of science behind hair care, and I am here to give you a basic explanation of some of it.


The most important thing to consider for your hair care in the Midwestern fall & winter seasons is the amount of protein in your hair products. I know we live in a time where high protein seems to be the holy grail, but that's not the case for everything. Actually, it is now coming out that a few of the big-named hair products are causing hair loss. This is because they are extremely high in protein. When you think about hair and protein, you can think about it in terms of exercise accompanied by nutrition. It is now well known that consuming protein after a workout is good for the building of muscle. Well, when you flex a muscle, it feels harder to the touch. If you add a lot of protein to your hair, the same thing happens to it- it becomes 'harder'. Protein also repels moisture from the hair which adds to this brittleness that it can create. It is good at times to add strength to your hair, but, at certain times and when done excessively, adding strength can cause your hair to break.


Picture a piece of hair- it has movement; it can bend. If it becomes too strong, it will break when it tries to move and bend. When the weather is warm and humid out, the humidity aids in keeping the hair soft and elastic. When the weather gets cold and the humidity is low, our hair immediately becomes more brittle. If our hair becomes more brittle from the weather and we are also adding products that strengthen the hair while repeling moisture, it is a recipe for disaster.


We love strong hair, but there is a right amount of strength based on an individual person's hair and the weather. Fall is here, and winter is coming. Let's get you set up with the right hair products for a healthy head of hair! Please stop into Steven Papageorge Salon where we can properly assess your hair and recommend a product right for you.


This was our first time meeting this client, and she had a lot of breakage. Some of it, she didn't even know about since it was in the back of her head. She is now using the correct hair products, and, with the proper at home haircare, it should start growing in thicker and healthier.
