Autumn: 3 tips to stop hair breakage

You’ve probably noticed it… Autumn is beautiful. Walks in the crisp air, golden leaves, cozy hot chocolates under a blanket… But there’s one little downside: dry, brittle hair. You wake up, start brushing, and… surprise. Your brush is full of hair, your ends are splitting, and your lengths look dull and fragile. So you search online: “brittle hair : what to do?”

No need to panic. Dry, brittle, or breaking hair is super common at this time of year. Wind, scarves rubbing, dry indoor heating. All of it weakens the hair fiber. The good news? You can take action! Here are 3 simple, natural tips to fight hair breakage and bring your hair back to strength, shine, and vitality.

Hair breakage: what causes it?

You know that frustrating feeling? Your hair seems to grow… but your ends never really get longer. Instead, you find tiny broken pieces on your sweater, in your brush, or on your pillow. That’s hair breakage.

Here’s why it happens:

  • Everyday habits: rough detangling, tight hair ties, frequent blow-drying or straightening
  • Lack of nutrition: harsh conventional products, hard water, or repeated chemical coloring
  • External stress: wind, cold, sun, pollution, scarf friction, dry indoor air, rain
  • Other factors: stress, fatigue, poor diet, or vitamin deficiencies (iron, zinc, protein, etc.)

3 tips to fight brittle hair

Don’t worry, there are simple, natural ways to strengthen your hair and reduce breakage. Discover our 3 tips to prevent brittle hair and bring vitality back to your lengths.

1. Learn to pamper your hair every day

Imagine coming home from a crisp autumn day, your scarf rubbing against your lengths, and your hair feels more fragile than ever. Result? Guaranteed breakage if you don’t treat it gently.

  • Choose a natural shampoo, free from harsh chemicals
  • Always detangle starting from the ends, gently working up to the roots
  • Avoid overly tight hairstyles that stress the hair fiber

These small daily habits make a big difference in preventing split ends and brittle hair.

2. Invest in a repairing treatment for brittle hair

Autumn is a transitional season. Just like your skin, your hair needs nutrition. If you notice split or breaking hair, it’s a signal: it’s time to adopt a proper care routine.

Tip: apply an oil bath before shampooing. This treatment deeply nourishes and regenerates the hair fiber, restoring flexibility and strength.

At This Green, we offer 3 oil baths designed for each hair type: colored, dry, and curly.

An oil bath is truly the best treatment for brittle or split hair. Our formulas combine 13 essential and precious oils, carefully selected to nourish, repair, and protect according to your hair’s needs. Certified Ecogarantie, the most demanding organic label, they offer a powerful natural solution against hair breakage.

How to do an oil bath for brittle hair:

  • Application: Generously apply oil to lengths and ends, focusing on the scalp and tips. Oils form a protective barrier against breakage and external stress
  • Deep nourishment: Rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, oils penetrate the hair fiber to repair micro-damage, restore elasticity, and prevent split ends
  • Protection: Oils create a surface shield to retain moisture and protect against cold, wind, and friction. Hair becomes softer, shinier, and stronger
  • Visible results: After a few treatments, brittle and shedding hair looks stronger, shinier, and easier to style

For extra care, follow up with a mask for brittle hair, like This Green’s Save My Hair Shea Butter Repair Mask, rich in natural ingredients and silicone-free, to repair without weighing hair down.

3. The art of trimming to protect your hair

Sometimes, a small trim is your best friend. Treatments help, but they can’t fully fix severely damaged ends.

Regular trims (even just a few millimeters) remove split ends and prevent them from traveling up the hair shaft.

Your hair will instantly look healthier, shinier, and more vibrant.
