Fresh Hair, Fresh Season: Our May Haircare + Trend Guide

Spring in Austin hits different—and your hair routine should too. At Headspace Salon & Co-Op, this season is all about glow-ups that feel effortless, intentional, and rooted in self-care. Whether you're getting serious about your hair health or ready to switch up your color, we’re here to make it easy (and fun) to keep your hair looking and feeling amazing.

This month, we’re breaking it all down for you: the exact routines we recommend based on hair type and the color trends we can’t get enough of right now. From warm brunette blends to cherry cola reds and our signature California blonde, here’s what’s trending in the salon -and how to keep it looking flawless well into summer.

Your Spring Hair Care Routine by Hair Type: Headspace Stylist-Approved Picks

As the weather warms up in Austin, your hair care routine deserves a seasonal refresh. At Headspace, we believe spring is the perfect time to nourish your strands, protect your color, and reset your scalp after months of dry air and product buildup. Whether your hair is fine, textured, dry, or color-treated, we’ve put together expert-backed routines using our favorite brands: R+Co BLEU, Dom Dom Hair, Goldie Locks Haircare, L’Oréal Professionnel, and Reverie.

For Fine or Flat Hair: Build Volume Without the Weight

If your hair tends to fall flat or gets oily quickly, lightweight hydration and volume-boosting products are key. Begin with the R+Co BLEU Ingenious Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner, formulated with vegetable protein and kelp extract to add body without buildup.

For an in-salon treatment, consider the L’Oréal Professionnel Pro Longer Ends-Filler Concentrate, designed to thicken and strengthen hair ends, providing a fuller appearance.

To style, use Dom Dom Hair Rollers to volume and bounce. Finish with R+Co BLEU Featherlight Styling Cream for flexible control and a natural finish.

Instead of heavy oils, we recommend misting Goldie Locks Leave-In Conditioner on mid-lengths and ends for a light hydration boost that won’t weigh your hair down.

For Textured, Wavy, or Curly Hair: Define and Hydrate

Textured hair thrives on moisture, curl definition, and frizz control—especially during Austin’s humid spring months. Cleanse gently with Reverie Shampoo and Conditioner, which are sulfate-free and packed with nourishing oils like babassu and jojoba. Add a Headspace Scalp Detox treatment during your next visit to remove buildup and improve product absorption. For styling, layer R+Co BLEU Soft Curl Defining Crème with a touch of Reverie MILK Anti-Frizz Leave-In to define your curl pattern and prevent halo frizz. On day two or three, refresh curls with L’Oréal Professionnel Curl Expression Curls Reviver Spray, designed to instantly rehydrate and redefine curls while reducing frizz between wash days.

For Dry, Damaged, or Overprocessed Hair: Repair and Rebuild

If you’re recovering from highlights, heat styling, or battling dryness, focus on protein repair, hydration, and strengthening. Cleanse with Goldie Locks Ultra Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, ideal for chemically treated or extension-wearing hair. Book a L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox or Pro Longer treatment to help restore internal strength, reduce breakage, and leave your hair visibly healthier and more resilient. Before heat styling, apply L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Leave-In Cream to neutralize metal particles and offer heat protection up to 450°F. Finish with Reverie EVER Recovery Hair Oil to lock in moisture and shield strands from environmental stress.

For Color-Treated Hair: Protect and Prolong Your Hue

Color-treated hair needs extra care to stay vibrant, especially under the Texas sun. Use L’Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Color Shampoo and Conditioner to cleanse while preserving color. To refresh your tone between services, ask about a gloss treatment or Redken Shades EQ toner—these quick services make all the difference in maintaining vibrancy and shine. For styling, apply R+Co BLEU Optical Illusion Smoothing Oil to fight frizz and add a soft, glassy finish. To support moisture and tone retention, add Goldie Locks Signature Hair Mask into your weekly routine.

Spring is gloss season. Book your gloss refresh or ask about a custom at-home regimen for your color goals.

The Color Trends We Can’t Stop Talking About

Spring is in full swing, and we’ve already seen some major color moments in our chairs. Whether you're craving a bold transformation or something low-maintenance and glowy, these are the top shades we're loving—and creating—right now at Headspace.

California Blonde: The Effortless, Beachy Blonde

This isn't your high-maintenance platinum. California Blonde is all about soft dimension, golden ribbons, and sun-kissed tones that grow out gracefully. Think surfer girl meets modern muse—easy, natural, and designed to look even better after a few weeks in the sun. It’s perfect for clients who want brightness without the upkeep. To keep your blonde fresh and brass-free, book a toning gloss every six to eight weeks.

Cherry Cola Red: Rich, Bold, and Unexpected

A little moody, a little juicy—Cherry Cola Red is having a serious moment. This trending tone blends deep brunette bases with vibrant cherry or plum undertones for a multidimensional color that shifts in the light. It’s rich, high-shine, and unapologetically cool. Ask your stylist about Redken Shades EQ for toning and maintaining that reflective finish.

Craving something with depth and attitude?

Warm Brunettes: Cozy, Lived-In Color with Major Glow

Warm doesn’t mean brassy—it means rich, reflective, and full of life. We’re obsessed with warm brown tones this season, especially when paired with soft layering or face-framing highlights. These hues feel grounded, elevated, and ideal for anyone easing out of winter and into something a little brighter.
