Your Hair Will Thank You for This Springtime Routine

Now that it’s finally warming up, it’s the perfect time to check in with your haircare routine. The shift in seasons means more time outside, more sun exposure, and for a lot of us, more scalp sweat and oil. That combo can throw your whole hair rhythm off, especially if you’re trying to balance staying fresh with not overwashing.

As a hairstylist of over two decades (and a mom who’s usually trying to get ready in five minutes flat), I’ve seen how seasonal changes can really affect how your hair feels and behaves. So let’s talk about some easy ways to keep your hair feeling healthy and fresh without stripping it or loading it up with products.

Everyone’s Hair Routine is Different and That’s Totally Fine

Some people need to wash their hair more frequently. If you have fine or straight hair, you might feel like you need a refresh every day or two. On the other hand, if your hair is curly, textured, or thick, you probably go longer between washes without any issue.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. But in general, washing your hair less often, maybe two to three times a week, can really help protect your scalp’s natural oils and prevent that dried-out feeling that sometimes comes with overwashing, especially in warmer weather.

The trick is finding a way to stretch your wash days without feeling like your hair is flat, greasy, or itchy.

How to Go Longer Between Washes (Without Looking Like It)

Washing your hair less often can be really good for your scalp. It gives your natural oils time to do their thing and keeps your strands from drying out. That said, I know it’s not always easy, especially when it’s warm out and you’re sweating more.

Here’s where dry shampoo can really help if it’s the right kind!

One special thing about the NAPRIM Refreshing Dry Shampoo is that it’s a powder, not an aerosol spray. So it’s not going to leave behind that sticky or greasy film that a lot of people complain about with conventional dry shampoos. It actually helps prevent oil buildup and extends the life of your last wash. 

That means you can go longer between washes without feeling like your hair is falling flat or looking dull. This is super helpful if you're trying to reduce how often you're washing your hair but still want it to look good in between.

What Most Dry Shampoos Get Wrong

If you’ve tried aerosol dry shampoos before, you’re not alone. They’re everywhere and seem super convenient. But what I hear from a lot of people (and have experienced myself) is that they often leave behind a weird, sticky or greasy film. Sometimes they build up on the scalp or make your roots feel heavier, not lighter. And if you’ve got sensitive skin, the synthetic fragrances and propellants can be a problem.

That’s part of the reason I created NAPRIM Naturals Refreshing Dry Shampoo. I wanted something that actually supported scalp and hair health, especially for people looking for cleaner, more thoughtful ingredients.

A Different Kind of Dry Shampoo

Our Refreshing Dry Shampoo is a powder, not a spray, and that makes a huge difference. It’s made with naturally derived ingredients that gently absorb excess oil without disrupting your scalp. It adds real volume and refreshes your roots in a way that feels clean, not coated.

It’s completely talc-free, fragrance-free, and vegan. We even included non-nano zinc oxide for SPF 17, so you’re getting added protection from UVA and UVB rays, which is a game changer when you’re spending more time outside with your kiddos.

And yes, it comes in Blonde and Brunette versions, so it blends right into your hair without leaving behind any white cast or weird color.

You Don’t Need a Full Routine Overhaul

Warmer weather calls for a gentler, more flexible hair routine. Whether you're washing daily or stretching things out, the key is using products that support your scalp and style, not fight against them. For me, that’s our Refreshing Dry Shampoo. It’s one of those simple swaps that makes a big difference in how your hair feels between washes.

If you haven’t tried a powder dry shampoo yet, this might be the season to give it a go. Your scalp and your style will thank you.
