Why Curly Hair May Suffer More in the Fall and What you can do today with Sarah Crews - Ep. 31

If you have noticed more hair in your brush or shower drain lately and you have wavy, curly, or coily hair, don’t panic. You are not going bald. Your hair is simply responding to seasonal changes in daylight, hormones, and humidity. But because textured hair behaves differently from straight hair, shedding can look more dramatic. In this episode, Sarah breaks down exactly why seasonal shedding hits curls harder and how you can support your hair from the inside out, so your texture stays strong, defined, and thriving all season long. 🧴 Key Products Mentioned:  Pro Products Available at https://studiogaven.com/ [https://studiogaven.com/] * Kérastase Curl Manifesto Bain Hydratation Douceur * * Kérastase Masque Réhydratant * * Kérastase Potentialiste Scalp Serum * * Redken Amino-Mint Scalp Shampoo * * Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Mask * * Pureology Hydrate Shampoo & Conditioner * * Pureology Strength Cure Mask * * Shu Uemura Urban Moisture Mask Additional products Mentioned: * Mielle Rosemary Oil * * Argan / jojoba / grapeseed oils * * Heeta Scalp Brush * * Satin bonnet / silk pillowcase * * Microfiber towel (Aquis) * * Steam cap * * Diffuser attachment * * Wide-tooth detangling comb * * Nutrafol Women’s Core ✨ Final Thoughts Seasonal shedding is natural, but with the right internal support, scalp care, and hydration routine, it doesn’t have to derail your curls.
