Transition Your Curls Into Fall 🍂


When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change, our curls feel the shift too. Fall can be tricky for textured hair—humidity starts to drop, the air gets drier, and suddenly your summer routine doesn’t cut it anymore. The good news? With a few smart swaps and the right products, you can keep your curls healthy, defined, and frizz-free all season long.

1. Boost Hydration as the Air Gets Drier

Summer’s humidity often gives curls extra bounce, but fall air can quickly pull moisture out of your strands. This is the time to double down on hydration.

  • Curl Keeper Original is the perfect daily styler—it’s water-based, so it delivers lasting moisture without weighing curls down.

  • Layer it with Refresh on day two (or three) to reactivate definition and bring curls back to life between washes.

💡 Pro Tip: Always apply water-based products to damp hair to help lock in hydration.

2. Repair Summer Damage Before Winter Arrives

If your curls soaked up sun, chlorine, or saltwater over the summer, now’s the time to repair before winter’s harsh air makes things worse.

  • Use Rapid Hair Repair once a week in October to strengthen and rebuild weak areas of your curls.

  • Focus on your ends—they’re the oldest and most fragile part of your hair.

3. Add Protection for Frizz-Free Days

Fall weather can be unpredictable—one day dry, the next misty. A little extra protection goes a long way.

  • Curl Keeper Gel gives strong hold without stiffness, so your curls stay defined no matter the forecast.

  • On busy mornings, mist on water for quick frizz control and soft definition.

4. Make Detangling Stress-Free

Cooler weather often means more protective styles, hats, and scarves—which can all lead to tangles.

  • Slip Detangler is your everyday detangling hero.

  • For extra stubborn knots, step up to Slip+, which melts away extreme tangles in seconds (great for thicker or tighter curl patterns).

5. Reset with a Seasonal Curl Routine

Think of fall as a reset button for your curls. Build a weekly routine that balances hydration, repair, and definition. A good rhythm might look like this:

  • Wash day: Cleanse + condition → Original + Gel for styling.

  • Mid-week: Refresh + a little Styling Cream.

  • Weekly: Add Rapid Hair Repair treatment.

Transitioning your curls into fall doesn’t mean a complete overhaul—it’s about small, seasonal tweaks. With hydration, protection, and the right styling support, your curls will thrive all the way through cozy sweater season.
