Thanksgiving is around the corner and there is "white stuff" on the ground so there is no doubt that winter is here. Time to pull out the coats, hats, and gloves for protection from the cold but lets not forget about our hair. There's more to it then putting on a hat.
Let's start with moisture. There is no way to get away from moisture loss. The harsh outdoor weather can suck moisture out of your strands as well as the dry indoor heat. Take these points into consideration so that your hair will survive this winter.
1) Intense moisturizing under a steamer or a hooded dryer with heavy conditioners and oils are necessary to prevent your hair from drying out. Oils like olive and coconut are very beneficial.
2) Use less shampoo and moisturize more often. Because there is no way to escape moisture loss, moisturizing often is the key to maintaining healthy strands. Moisturizing 1-2x a week is good.This can be done by co-washing. Click on highlighted text for a link on co-washing.
3) Wear your hair in a protective style like a bun, ponytail. or a sew in and stay away from wool accessories. This prevents your hair from rubbing and snagging on your scarfs, turtle necks and sweaters. For those wearing locs, this prevents lint from getting stuck in your locs
4)Drink lots of water. Keep your body hydrated from the inside out because whatever happens in your body shows on the outside.
Remember "Moisture is Key" this winter and "Knowledge is Power". If you have any questions, feel free to contact Gradieh Wreh at 952-847-3204
