Calling All Naturals

[Wildchild453]

I have a big question, I have only been wearing my hair in it's natural state since May and I wanted to know what you guys do to style your hair in the winter

 

[FlowerHair]

I usually wear my hair up in a big claw clip during winter or braided.

 

[good2uuuu]

Well, when I lived int he south I just did the same thing I do in the summer, rinse with conditioer and go. The only difference was that I would do the rinse at night and then pull my hair back in a scrunchie or braid and then spritz in the morning with a little water/conditoner mixure and then fluff out and go. This winter, since I live int he awful midwest, I will be wearing braids and twists and wigs a lot more often.

This past winter, my staples were coconut oil and pure vitamin e oils on my ends to prevent my hair from drying out. I wore my hair in either in two braids cross-pinned or in twists most of the time. In the winter time, I don't mess around so I always wear a hat when going outside. Sometimes I would wash/rinse my hair, pull it back, tie a satin scarf on my head, put on my hat and be out the door.

 

[Chicoro]

I wear a bun, use a scarf and go out with a hat, too.

 

[Carefree]

I wear hats alot in the fall/winter too so my hair is usually in braids or twists.

ITA. Your hair is beyond gorgeous.

 

[Nay]

Chicoro, where have you been hiding!! You do have some lovely hair

Wildchild, I'm in California. So my winter styles are really no different than my other season styles. Aaaah, the joy of living in a state that doesn't have extreme winters

ITA, Chicoro has some gorgeoous hair!

As for myself, I utilize scarves and two strand twists/braids to save my hair during the winter.

 

[CocoaButterflyy]

Chicoro your hair is lovely...

as far as my hair I was in a really cold climate last winter so I would wear flat twist, twist outs, I'd twist with mango butter to protect my hair and braids

 

[Shatani]

oh, i forgot to add mine...i usually keep my hair in extensions during the school year...and now that i know better, i will take better care of it while i have the braids in...

[Netta1]

Girl you need to stop by my album I got some styling ideas for the winter

 

[ms_kenesha]

I'm afraid about the cold weather, too. Since I BC'd in Feb. my hair started growing mainly in the spring and a lot of times I rinse or CW in the morning and I know I can't do that in the winter. I might get braided extensions when it's cold.

 

[honey_jammz82]

I just conditioner wash my hair at night and in the morning put it in a ponytail!

That is some beautiful hair!

 

[Country gal]

WOW! CHiro- your hair is pretty. It looks so different in it's natural state. I love both looks.

 

[babyblue]

In the winter i wear plenty of protective styles that dont expose my ends to the cold air. I like the 2 strand twists because they fit under my hat. My washing/conditioning regimen remains the same. I just tend to use more heavier products on my ends.

Wow chicoro our blow dried hair looks very similar. very pretty.

 

[InsertCleverNameHere]

Bun wig or press for me.

 

[Peachtree]

Well, this will be my 1st winter as a natural. I plan to twist & bun it throughtout the winter!

 

[pookeylou]

I will make sure my wool coat has a silk scarf over the collar. I will make sure that my hats are lined with silk or satin.

I guess I am going to have to practice more twisting my hair so that it is "public suitable"! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[inthepink]

I planning on wearing a bun most of the winter. I will be using a bun donut most likely. I'd like to leave it on for 2-3 days without touching it but I am not sure if this will be healthy for my hair or not. I may have to take it down every night.

 

[DelightfulFlame]

I will be deep conditioning under a hooded dryer weekly. I stopped doing this in the spring/summer, and I believe my hair suffered for it. I will also wear plenty of protective styles, and concentrate on keeping my ends moisturized.

My summer and winter regime are the same, I daily rinse, my hair is either in flat twists or single twists, however I have been using Queen Helene Cholestrol conditioner, since last week and I cover my hair with a beret, which has a lining.

 

[kandi1280]

Since I just big Chopped in July, I am really new to this. But I only mist my hair in the morning as opposed to doing a full CW. I still suck at twists, and can't afford a beauty salon right now so I am just rocking the twa.

I also agree with everyone's rave reviews on Chicoro's hair, its jaw dropping gorgeous!
