Have you ever felt helpless when winter came and your hair just wouldn’t cooperate with you? Are you out of ideas as to what and how to do your hair in winter? Well I came across a site, Curl Prep, which had a page on how to deal with your natural hair in winter. They called it “winterizing” your hair. In winter your hair is more prone to breakage but the site advices you to simply switch up your “hair routine” and this can prevent seasonal damage. Fist, when it’s cold outside you say, “I have to have a hat on my head!” So you go grab your favorite wool or cotton hat because it’s warmer. But wait, wool and cotton fibers actually dry and take your hair out. Curl Prep suggests that you “line your hats by buying a yard of silk or satin and some fabric glue”. If you’re not up for arts and crafts then you can just avoid woolly hats and go for hats made from natural fibers.
Then they move on to tips on moisturizing which is important in the winter. First when the heat is on in your home, hair is more prone to breakage. Wow! That’s something I didn’t know, but to prevent breakage you should keep your scalp and hair more moisturized than usual. Curl Prep advices that one can keep their hair nourished by “getting a moisturizing shampoo (without sodium lauryl sulfate)”. Also, coconut oil and olive oil should do the trick. Just add a tablespoon of either for every 8 oz. of shampoo and conditioner and this should give you extra moisture. One last tip, at night, give the ends of your hair a little water it will help keep your ends intact and healthy!
