The Air is Changing in Windsor Terrace. Is Your Hair Ready for Late Summer?
We aren’t officially in back-to-school mode just yet, but if you’ve walked through Brooklyn after sunset lately, you’ve probably noticed it: the brutal July heatwaves are softening, and late August is delivering those crisp, breezy Brooklyn evenings.
This short stretch between mid-August and the September rush is arguably the best time of year in the neighborhood. The humidity drops, the park is glowing, and sitting outside at a nearby café doesn’t require an air conditioner blast every five minutes.
It’s also the ideal window to transition your hair and your child’s hair out of “summer survival mode” and into a sharper, more structured look.
3 Ways to Upgrade Your Look for the Late-August Transition
1. Move Away from the “Summer Buzz”
During the peak heat, high-and-tight skin fades are all about staying cool. But as temperate weather returns, it’s time to let a little top length grow back in. Transitioning to a tailored classic taper or a structured scissor-cut top adds sophistication to your silhouette just in time for early fall evening events.
2. Rebalance Your Beard Care
Cooler, dryer evening air means your skin loses moisture differently than it does under intense July humidity. If you’ve been using heavy, sweat-resistant products, switch back to a rich, hydrating beard balm. It tames stray late-summer flyaways while protecting your skin from the drier breeze rolling off the harbor.
3. Beat the September Barber Rush Early
While the neighborhood isn’t in full back-to-school frantically-booking mode just yet, September is right around the corner. Booking your appointment during these quiet, temperate late-August afternoons means zero wait times, maximum relaxation, and a head start on looking your absolute best before the autumn rush officially hits.
