Seasonal Allergies and Your Hair


Happy March! In the southeast, it's our non-official kickoff to spring! It's time for me take down my winter wreath, and purchase a subscription to our local car wash... that yellow pine pollen is coming! Many people have allergies to the variety of pollen that will be flying through our air over the next few months. 

Now, what could our hair have to do with allergy season? 

That pollen is in the air and attaches itself to the first thing it touches. (Which could be your hair!) If that pollen is left on your hair, it puts the pollen right beside your nose and eyes. Yikes! 

Here are some helpful tips. 

Suds Up More Often

Obviously, we don't want pollen on our hair. The best way to get rid of it would be to cleanse the hair.
If your locks are color-treated, shampooing more often sounds like a nightmare for your color. It's important to have a shampoo formulated for color-treated hair. My all-time favorite is ColorProof's ClearItUp detox shampoo. It will gently cleanse your hair of pollen and build up while maintaining and protecting your color! Check it out here

Wear Your Hair Up More 
With the warmer weather, you may be more inclined to wear your hair up anyways. My theory is, if you keep your hair out of your face, it will keep the pollen that may have settled there out of your face as well. Be sure to use soft hair-ties to prevent breakage. And please, NEVER put your hair up while its wet. Thank you!

Have a great hair day!
