Spring is a time of awakening. Outside, temperatures are rising, winter snow has disappeared, and flowers are blooming. It’s time to ditch the winter beanie that kept your stunning locks hidden for so long and let your hair greet the season. Spring has sprung, and it's time for you (and your hair) to step outside and embrace it.
Spring Activities and Celebrations
Â
Â
We’ve been waiting months for springtime to arrive, counting down the days until we can ditch that unflattering winter coat and unleash our colorful spring wardrobe (and maybe even new spring hair color) on the world. Now that it’s finally here, check out these awesome spring activities that will remind you why it’s the world’s favorite season.
Spring Break
If you love skiing, winter can be a great time to go on vacation, but for everybody else there’s Spring Break. We’re not talking about spending your vacation drinking jello shots on the beach (unless that’s what you're into), but rather about a refined vacation to recharge. From Cape Code to San Diego, here are Conde Nast Traveller's hand-picked recommendations for families this season.
Spring Cleaning
Okay, so maybe this one isn’t as exciting as a trip to the Grand Canyon, but cleaning the house in spring is a timeless ritual that's a lot more appealing than doing so in the dead of winter. And while you're at it, this is is a great time to give your haircare routine a refresh, too. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to switch out your hair care products on a regular basis, but trying out a new shampoo or routine can give your locks a new bounce, softness, or fragrance that you'll absolutely adore. Whether that's adding more volume to your curls, taking care of pesky frizz, or bringing your hair back to health from harsh chemicals and heat products, let the season breathe new life into your 'do.  Â
Get Active
Â
Â
Spring is the best time of year to get your glow on with your favorite sport, game, or activity. Catch our amigas at Club América, a team we are proud to sponsor, or Major League Baseball's Spring Training games. If you'd rather play than watch, put your hair up in a sporty style and join a local soccer league, go for a jog, or jump on that exercise trend you’ve been hearing about. Spring is wildflower season. From vibrant bluebells to the stunning starflowers, enjoy hiking along trails lined with sweet-smelling, colorful flowers. At Lu, we know a thing or two about the power of floral scents (you can browse through our collections to see what each Lu hair product smells like). So we would be the first to recommend breathing in the aromas of the season on a lovely spring hike!
Picnic Season
We spend a lot of time inside during winter. We eat, work and sleep next to the nearest heat source and shudder at the thought of stepping foot outside. Now that spring is here, spread your wings and step outside. It’s officially time to make a colorful spring salad with your favorite leafy greens, pack a classic red picnic blanket and maybe even a bottle of champagne to toast the season, and head outside for an unforgettable picnic lunch with family, old friends, or new flames.
Plant a Garden
Wildflowers pop up of their own accord during spring, but we have to put some work in to enjoy spring vegetables. Start planting the garden of your dreams early and you’ll soon be enjoying cabbages, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, and more. Nothing tastes better than a meal prepared using ingredients you’ve grown yourself.
Let the Music Play
Winter reduces many of us to Spotify playlists, but when spring arrives, live music returns. That means it's the perfect time to start rocking your best new styles and dancing until your feet hurt at a concert or event.
How to Take Care of Spring Hair
Spring brings its own hair challenges, but the good news is there's a Lu collection for every style and need.
Rescue
The warmer days shift more hair into the telogen, or resting, phase. This can lead to hair shedding, as new hairs push out the old at the end of this phase of hair growth. To counteract this, we need to take extra care of our hair as it gets used to the new season, and repair damage we may have caused by letting our hair care regime slip during the colder months.
Lu's Rescue Collection is designed to recover dry, damaged hair. Formulated with shatavari-infused glycerin, this collection of shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in therapy cream can help even the most lifeless locks bounce back from the brink. Moisturizing shatavari contains phytonutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins that promote healthy hair. Lu's Rescue Collection also contains Impossible Keratin™️ to increase the hair's tensile strength (that is, its ability to resist tearing), vegan collagen to increase the body’s hair-building proteins, and silk amino acids that bind to hair and strengthen it. But don’t take our word for it: read the rave reviews on Amazon to learn how Lu has helped revitalize hair for real customers!
Control
If you're debuting a new style along with a new hair color, you want to control every aspect of your look. If superior styling that tames the frizz will put an extra spring in your step, reach for the Control Collection.
Freedom
Is the new season all about celebrating your natural hair color, curls, coils, and waves? Let Freedom ring this spring and let your curls loose with added bounce, volume, and definition! Ifyou've been waiting all year to rock your 'fro, rizos, or beautiful waves, add some Freedom to your hair care routine.
Ready to Shine Serum
Maybe you're not ready to switch your shampoo and conditioner, but you are looking for an on-the-go touchup or a little extra oomph to greet the new spring day. Greet the season with an instant boost of radiance and softness with our Ready to Shine hair serum. Â
