Welcome Spring with a Fresh Hair Routine 🌸

Spring has officially arrived in Raleigh, and your hair is ready for a fresh start! After months of battling dry air, heavy products, and dull strands, it’s time to revive your routine. At Salon Alchemy, we’ve curated a spring hair care guide with expert tips, stylist-approved product picks, and local advice on how to beat the humidity while keeping your hair healthy, hydrated, and frizz-free.

1. Start with a Clarifying Cleanse 🧼

Winter tends to leave behind product buildup and dryness. A gentle clarifying shampoo helps reset your scalp and preps your hair to absorb moisture more effectively.

Try This:

  • KirkPro Soother PreCleanse– Removes oil & exfoliates the scalp without stripping moisture.

  • KirkPro Soother Shampoo – Great for detoxing the scalp and restoring pH balance.

Salon Tip: Follow up with a deep conditioner to replenish hydration.

2. Hydrate Without the Heaviness 💧

Say goodbye to thick winter butters. Spring hair thrives on lightweight hydration that doesn’t weigh it down.

Product Recs:

  • Amika Hydro Rush Leave-In Conditioner – Lightweight yet ultra-hydrating.

  • Amika The Wizard - lightweight hydration with heat protection

Salon Service: Book a Scalp Detox Treatment for the ultimate scalp and hair treatment.

Pro Tip: Apply leave-ins on damp hair and comb through for even distribution.

3. Know Your Conditioners: Humectant vs Non-Humectant 🌬️

In Raleigh’s humid spring weather, understanding your conditioner can make or break your hair day.

  • Humectants (like glycerin) attract moisture from the air. Great in dry climates but can cause frizz in humidity.

  • Non-Humectants help seal in moisture and reduce frizz in humid conditions.

What to Use:

  • Humectant Option: Amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask (use in low-humidity days)

  • Non-Humectant Option: KirkPro TriFactor Conditioner – great for smoothing and sealing

Salon Tip: Ask your stylist what your hair type needs based on your lifestyle and texture.

4. Protect Your Hair from Spring Sun ☀️

Your hair needs sun protection just like your skin. UV rays can fade color and dry out strands.

Recommended Products:

  • Amika The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray – Provides heat + UV protection

  • KirkPro Silk Press Spray Mist - Protect your hair from UV, heat styling and humidity with this moisturizing leave in

Salon Service: Book a toner to restore shine and tone to sun-faded hair.

5. Spring Shedding? Don’t Stress 💪

Seasonal shedding is normal, but you can minimize it with strengthening treatments and gentle care.

Try This:

  • Amika The Kure Intense Repair Mask – Rebuilds damaged hair and boosts elasticity

  • KirkPro Protein Treatment – Strengthens the hair shaft and reduces breakage

Salon Service: Book a Silkening Treatment

At-Home Tip: Use a wide-tooth comb and avoid rough towel drying.
