Seasonal hair refresh: from summer glow to autumn glam

As the summer sun fades into the crisper and cooler season of autumn, it’s not just your wardrobe that needs a refresh – your hair also needs seasonal adjustments. The changing weather and climate impact the health and appearance of your hair. From fluctuating humidity levels to saying goodbye to sun-kissed highlights, autumn brings its own set of challenges when it comes to hair care and style.


Show your hair some love

After a summer of sun, saltwater, and chlorine, your hair may be in desperate need of some TLC. Friends + Co hairdressers assess your hair’s condition and identify the best way to remedy, rejuvenate and prep it for the new season ahead – we don’t just want short term successes, we want long lasting beautiful healthy hair.


Hello frizzy hair

 Whatever your hair type, you can fall prey to frizzy and flyaways – it does not discriminate! The main cause of frizz is the lack of moisture in your locks; it absorbs moisture from the air to try and address the problem. To combat dryness and keep your hair smooth and manageable, hydration is key. Friends + Co offer an extensive range of luxury hair care treatments designed to restore moisture, repair damage, and revitalise your locks.


Ditch the split

Split ends are also prone to frizz and unfortunately, the longer you leave them, the worse they’ll get. Regular trims stop split ends in their tracks and help to keep your hair naturally radiant.


Make seasonal adjustment to your hairstyle and routine

 The shift in weather patterns also impacts hair styling ability, it certainly becomes more of a challenge to do some styles. Opting for hairstyles that are less reliant on heat styling is one solution, but it is also the perfect opportunity to experiment with a completely new hair cut to embrace and exploit your hair’s natural texture and movement. Friends + Co have specialist curly hair hairdressers in our Christchurch city hair salon, so every hair type looks sensational.


Experiment with richer and warmer tones

You may be saying farewell to summer’s golden tones, but now is the time to embrace the rich tones and colours of autumn. Whether you are seeking a subtle transformation or a bold statement, the creatives at our city hair salon are here to guide you. The Balayage technique  is incredibly versatile and not exclusively for going lighter. It also seamlessly blends darker shades into your hair to create depth, dimension (and perhaps even drama) – absolutely stunning. 


Friends + Co  pride ourselves on catering to clients with diverse hair types and styles. Whether you have curly locks needing expert care, need a colour touch-up and styling, or have no idea what you want, our creative team is ready to explore the possibilities and bring your autumn hair to life leaving you looking and feeling fabulous.

Most (if not all) curlies have a hair horror story and avoid going to a salon as the result. The problem is some stylists don’t fully understand how best to approach curly hair, whether that’s being scissor happy and taking too much from the length causing the curls to spring up even shorter, or giving the client the dreaded pyramid shape. Naturally curly hair - is both a blessing and a challenge. Curls have personality – they’re fun and full of volume, but they are completely unique to you – there is no singular cookie-cutter hair style for curly hair. To keep them looking their best, they need specialist hair care and attention : a cut that works with their natural shape, not against it. Whether you’re rocking soft waves or tighter spirals, finding the right style is key to getting the most from your curls, but also making your daily styling less time consuming and your mane more manageable. At Friends and Co our city hair salon is a curly hairdresser in Christchurch – passionate for curly haircuts, colouring and styling. Our expert team of stylists – including some of the best hairdressers in Christchurch – understand curl patterns, shrinkage, and how to shape curls to enhance their natural bounce. If you’re searching for a curly hairdresser in Christchurch, you’re in the right place. What are the best haircuts for curly hair? Soft, shaped layers Long curls benefit from soft, graduated layers that remove bulk and avoid the dreaded pyramid shape. By carefully layering the hair, we can create shape and definition, movement and volume where it matters – around the crown and face. This kind of cut works beautifully with colour too, especially a lived-in balayage in Christchurch for that sun kissed, effortless vibe. The curly bob A chin-length or shoulder-length bob is perfect for those wanting a shorter style that still makes the most of natural curls. Depending on your curl pattern, the shape is often cut dry (because wet hair lies!) so we can see exactly how the curls sit. It’s an ideal haircut for those who want a manageable, everyday style with a little Parisian flair. Curly bangs Thinking about a fringe? Curly bangs are having a real moment. When cut well, they soften the face and add a cool, modern edge for any style. They’re especially flattering on oval and heart-shaped faces. During your hair appointment and consultation, Friends and Co’s hair stylists in Christchurch will help you decide whether a full, wispy or side-swept fringe is best for your curl type. The shag or wolf cut This modern, choppy style is perfect for looser curls and waves. With its rock’n’roll attitude and tons of volume, the shag is all about movement and texture. If you’re feeling adventurous, ask your stylist about pairing it with a bold new colour or a subtle balayage for extra dimension. Why visit a curl specialist hairdresser? Curly hair isn't a one-size-fits-all situation. That’s why it's so important to visit a curly hair hairdresser in Christchurch who understands the unique needs of your texture. At Friends and Co hair salon in Christchurch, we use cutting techniques tailored to your curls and only recommend products to nourish and define – never flatten. If you are ready to fall in love with your curls again, you can book your haircut online or call us on 03 371 9297 to make your appointment. With late night hair appointments and hairdressers Afterpay available, great hair has never been more accessible.
