How to Transition Your Hair from Summer to Autumn Without Damage

Summertime is all about the sun, the sea, and casual hairstyles, but as the seasons change, your hair may be suffering. Strands may become dry, brittle, and in need of some TLC as a result of heat styling, UV exposure, chlorine, and salt water.

Our stylists at Sobo Hair Boutique are here to assist you in making the seamless transition from summer to fall hair so you may experience lustrous, healthy hair that feels as wonderful as it looks. Here’s how to give your hair the seasonal makeover it deserves, whether you’re scheduling a blow dry bar edinburgh visit, nourishing treatment or a fresh trim in Edinburgh.

1. Start with a Seasonal Trim

The quickest way to refresh your hair for autumn is by snipping away any sun-damaged ends. A trim not only removes split ends but also helps your style sit better and your hair feel healthier instantly.

Sobo tip: If you’re feeling bold, fall is a perfect time to switch up your look. Think of bobs, long layers or face-framing fringe to go with warm jumpers and fall-colored makeup.

2. Rehydrate with a Professional Treatment

After summer, your hair’s moisture levels often need a boost. We recommend an in-salon treatment to deeply nourish and repair. At our Edinburgh hair salon, we offer:

  • Kérastase Fusio-Dose – Tailored blends to target dryness, breakage, or colour fade.
  • Deep Intense Repair Mask – For silky, soft hair that’s easy to manage.
  • Première Damaged Hair – Ideal for restoring strength after UV exposure.

3. Refresh Your Colour

Summer sun can cause fading or unwanted tones, especially in blondes, coppers, and fashion shades. Autumn is the perfect time to deepen your colour, add warm lowlights, or gloss over with a toner for a healthy, rich finish.

Sobo tip: Autumn 2025 trends include rich brunettes, copper tones, and caramel balayage. Our Edinburgh hairdressers can customise the hue to fit your skin tone and hairstyle.

4. Adjust Your At-Home Routine

Switch to more hydrating shampoos and conditioners, and add a weekly mask into your routine. Use a heat protectant before styling, and avoid over-washing to help maintain your hair’s natural oils.

Sobo tip: Our stylists can recommend the perfect seasonal product line from Kérastase or Aveda during your appointment.

5. Treat Yourself to a Blow-Dry

Having shiny, new hair when you leave the salon is the best way to improve your confidence. From sleek, straight styles to large, bouncy curls, our blow dry bar in Edinburgh has everything you need for a post-holiday pick-me-up or an autumnal evening out.

Sobo tip: Add a glossing or nourishing treatment to your blow-dry for maximum shine and smoothness.
