Hair Today’s Back-to-School Survival Guide

Summer days are coming to a close, and beach trips are quickly being replaced with last-minute college shopping sprees.

It’s time to go back to school!

Whether you’ve got kiddos in elementary school or you’re heading back to college, we want to make sure you look & feel good for your first day of school debut. Here’s a back-to-school survival guide we put together for you!

1. Transition to a Seamless Fall Look

It’s time to start thinking about your fall look! Go for a fresh cut and color, perhaps experimenting with a new, bold hue — like that warm auburn you’ve always wanted to try — or easy-to-maintain hair painting.

2. Stock up on Quality Products

While it may be tempting to buy that .99 cent shampoo on sale at the pharmacy, when it comes to your hair, you get what you pay for so aim for quality. Before you head off to school, be sure to stock up on your go-to products at Hair Today.

Some of our must-haves are Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray (great for a flexible daytime hold or night out with your gal pals), Express Blowout Mist by Oligo Pro (to cut your blowout time by 50%), and Kenra Curl Defining Cream to enhance your pretty waves without the frizz. Guys, we’ve got you covered with our popular firm styling gel by Crew.

Plus, we don’t go anywhere without our Wet Brush detangler — perfect for tossing in your book/gym bag. (Hint: the Disney Princess line is a big hit with the tweens right now!)

3. Keep it Simple

When you’re rushing to get out the door for that 8:00am English Lit class, styling your hair is probably the last thing on your mind — but you don’t want to look like you rolled out of bed either.

Fuel up with a cup of coffee, and go for a simple twist, braid or pony. Hurray for scrunchies making a comeback!

4. Get a Trim

Split ends got you down? It’s time for a trim before you head back to school! Fun fact: while cutting your hair doesn’t make it grow faster, regular trims strengthens the ends, giving off a healthier, thicker look. And don’t worry, it’ll grow back faster than you think at about a half-inch a month.
