Seasonal Hair Routine Guide – How Your Haircare Should Change Between Haze, Rainy, and Hot Seasons
Share
Singapore weather is honestly a rollercoaster. One week you’re coughing through haze, the next you’re drenched from a sudden downpour, and then the sun comes back like it never left. Meanwhile, your hair? It’s silently screaming.
Haze Season: Dust, Pollution, and That Itchy Scalp Feeling
Haze isn’t just annoying—it sticks to your hair like glue. You know that dull, itchy feeling on your scalp that makes you want to scratch it nonstop? Yup, that’s the haze at work.
A gentle clarifying shampoo once a week does wonders to get rid of buildup, but don’t overdo it—otherwise your hair dries out and frizz city begins. A lightweight leave-in hair oil or serum is basically your hair’s invisible shield, fighting frizz, dust, and dullness.
And seriously, hands off your hair when you’re outside. I know it’s tempting to run your fingers through it, but your hands are basically dust magnets. A quick scalp massage or scrub once a week keeps it healthy and happy.
Rainy Season: Humidity Strikes Again
Rain plus humidity equals instant hair chaos. Flat, poofy, frizzy… your hair basically does whatever it wants, and there’s nothing you can do to negotiate.
Conditioner is your new best friend—focus on the mid-lengths to ends so you don’t end up with dry, split tips. A lightweight leave-in cream or serum keeps everything smooth without making your hair look greasy.
Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Braids, ponytails, or layered cuts can save your day because the humidity will do its thing anyway. And keep a small comb or brush in your bag—you know, for that mid-MRT or office rescue mission.
Hot Season: Sweat, Sun, and Sticky Hair
The sun in Singapore doesn’t play around. UV rays dry your hair, fade your color, and leave your scalp irritated. And sweat? Don’t get me started—roots go oily faster than you can blink.
Stick to lightweight products. Nothing heavy that sticks to your scalp. Hats, UV sprays, or leave-in oils with SPF are lifesavers if you’re walking around in the midday sun. And when things get too sweaty, a quick rinse or some dry shampoo works wonders.
Also, hydrate. Not just your hair—drink water. Your hair actually loves it.
Everyday Small Wins
Trim your hair regularly so split ends don’t take over. Don’t abuse heat tools—AC plus tropical heat is basically a hair nightmare. Multi-use products are clutch: 2-in-1 shampoo-conditioner, hair oils that protect and style, leave-in mists with SPF… basically, fewer bottles, less stress, same results.
