How the season affects hair and scalp

Seasonal changes affect not only appearance but also scalp condition. High humidity can weigh down fine hair and cause color fading. Dry cold in autumn and winter nourishes the cuticle less and leads to a crumpled look. High heat encourages sweat and oil, so more frequent cleansing is needed.

Spring — reset and gentleness

What to do

Spring is a great time to remove product buildup and return to a simpler routine. Replace heavy treatments with balanced cleansing and maintenance. Choose a shampoo that cleans gently and leaves the scalp feeling refreshed.

Recommended products

To refresh the scalp: the Tea Tree Scalp Care collection offers refreshing cleansing options. For dry or chemically treated hair, incorporate products from the Marula collection to restore softness and shine.

Summer — refresh and protect

What to change in summer

Summer calls for more frequent cleansing to remove sweat, salt and product residue. Use products that give a cooling sensation and maintain the scalp without weighing it down.

Practical products and habits

For an oily or heavy scalp use Tea Tree & Peppermint Energizing Shampoo for a fresh cleanse with tea tree oil, peppermint oil and menthol crystals. For heat styling: apply the Marula Oil Serum, known to provide heat protection up to 400°C, to support a smooth, glossy finish after styling.

Autumn and winter — moisture and repair support

What to watch for

In cold, dry winds hair loses moisture faster. Working on softening and absorption is more important than swapping shampoos every day. Invest in an intensive treatment roughly once a month after washing.

Recommended products

The Marula collection is recommended to incorporate into a winter routine. Marula Oil Shampoo cleans gently and adds a soft, glossy look, and after washing use Marula Oil Hair Mask for an intensive treatment that restores softness.

Adjustments by scalp and hair type

Oily or heavy scalp

If your scalp tends to get oily during warm seasons, use Tea Tree & Peppermint to maintain a clean feeling. The combination of tea tree oil and peppermint oil supports a refreshed feeling without heaviness.

Dry or sensitive scalp

For a scalp that feels dry or needs immediate comfort, choose Tea Tree, Lavender & Hemp Oil Moisture Shampoo. The formula blends lavender and hemp oil for soothing comfort and gentle cleansing.

Fine or thinning hair

For added body and light thickening, choose the Tea Tree & Sage collection to support volume. The products are designed to add body without weighing the fiber down.

Maintaining and refreshing blonde color

If you have natural or lightened blonde hair, use a pigmented shampoo occasionally to refresh tone. the Colour Shampoo line is designed for temporary tone refresh, and the typical formulas do not contain peroxide, ammonia, parabens or PPD.

An example of targeted use: Pearl Colour Shampoo for Blonde Hair to maintain a pearly tone between professional color appointments.

Frequently asked questions

How many times a week should you wash your hair in warm seasons?

In most cases cleansing every other day is sufficient. If you experience heavy sweating or use heavy creams, more frequent washing will remove residue and maintain the scalp.

When should you use the Marula mask?

Use the mask after washing when your goal is repair and deep hydration; for damaged hair this can be twice a week, and in a calmer routine once a week is enough.

Can you alternate between a refreshing shampoo and a moisture shampoo by day of the week?

Yes. One refreshing wash after exercise or a hot day, followed by a moisture-and-gentleness wash — that combination suits most hair types.

How to keep enhanced-looking hair for fine hair in winter?

Choose thickening products from the appropriate collection and avoid overly oily products. A weekly thickening mask and avoiding heavy products will improve volume.

Does a pigmented shampoo replace salon color?

No. A pigmented shampoo offers a temporary tone refresh between professional color services and is not a permanent dye.

One-week practical step: in the coming week choose a simple trial routine — combine one refreshing wash with Tea Tree & Peppermint after a hot day, and on another wash use Marula Oil Shampoo and a small amount of the Marula Oil Hair Mask to feel the differences and decide what suits you each season.
