Here’s what changes
Fall means cooler, drier air and less sweating, while indoor heating can make it harder for your hair and skin to hold on to moisture. Your scalp may stay cleaner longer, but your ends may feel rougher or more static, and your skin may feel tight or itchy after washing.
1. Your scalp may stay cleaner for longer
During summer, hot days and extra sweating can add extra rinse or wash days. As temperatures cool and you sweat less, your scalp may not become oily or dirty at the same pace. That doesn't automatically mean everyone should shampoo less. It means your wash schedule should follow your scalp instead of the season.
Gentle & nourishing
If your scalp still becomes oily quickly, maintain your existing schedule. If it stays clean longer, you may no longer need the extra washes that made sense in summer.
When you shampoo, concentrate the product on your scalp, where oil and buildup collect, instead of working it aggressively through the full length of your hair. This cleans the area that needs it while limiting unnecessary cleansing through the ends.
The BASED Shampoo uses coconut-based cleansers and is formulated to cleanse without leaving hair feeling overstripped.
2. Your hair may become frizzier
Colder temperatures often mean less humidity in the air, which can increase static and roughness. During the fall season, weather can be inconsistent, where humid days may still make hair frizzier, while dry days may leave it feeling rougher or more static.
You should always use Conditioner after Shampoo, but the amount you use and the way you use it may need to adjust for the season. If you notice your hair feeling drier than usual, you may need to use more Conditioner, and try leaving it in your hair for a full 2-3 minutes before rinsing out.
The BASED Conditioner hydrates and detangles hair, making it easier to manage. Fine or straight hair generally needs Conditioner concentrated on the ends, while dry, curly, or coily hair may benefit from conditioning through more of its length.
Hydrating & revitalizing
If your hair is wavy, curly, or coily and begins feeling drier, more static, or harder to manage, a Leave-In Conditioner can provide targeted support. Apply 2-4 pumps to damp hair from the mid-lengths to the ends. Use only what your hair needs, since thicker hair can generally handle more product than fine hair.
Deep hydration & frizz control
The BASED Leave-In Conditioner is designed for wavy, curly, or coily hair to provide deep hydration without weighing hair down.
3. Your skin may feel tight or itchy after washing
One of the first signs of the seasonal transition may be the way your skin feels after a shower or face wash. Cooler, less humid air and heated indoor environments can contribute to dryness. Skin may begin feeling tight, itchy, rough, or less comfortable even if your products have not changed.
Before adding more products, adjust how you use the ones you already have. Cleanse gently, then apply moisturizer while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps hold on to moisture that could otherwise evaporate after washing.
For your face, the BASED Daily Facial Moisturizer is a lightweight daily moisturizer made for all skin types. For the rest of your body, applying the BASED Body Lotion after showering supports hydration and softer-feeling skin.
Hydrates without heaviness.
