Cold weather regimen-Naturals?

[Shinka]

How do you naturals out there change your regimen for cold weather. Should I use heavy products? Do I need to condition more? I'm still knew to this and I know hair regimen should change as the weather changes

I'm not a natural, but I had this information in my files.

I believe I got them from the http://www.nappturality.com/

1. COLD WEATHER ROUTINE:

I do not rinse daily . Sometimes I spritz my hair to restyle with
-African Royal Daily Doctor Leave In

I use my winter product of choice
-Proclaim Natural 7 Oil
-Shea Butter (current fav)
-CD Healthy Hair Butter
-CD Hair Milk

MY MAIN COLD STYLES
-twists
-twist outs
-buns

Here's another one

2. Cold Weather Routine:
1) Condition Wash my hair once a week:
2) Apply a leave-in conditioner and a moisturizer on the ends.
3) I braid or twist and let it air-dry. Once dry I would either wear them for a week or so or 4) Unravel them after a few days. Then I'll either put it in a updo or wear a scarf or headband. When the style gets old, I put it into a puff.
5) Every night I spritz my hair with water to keep it moisturized and oil the ends with Constant Care for Ends or Coconut Oil from From Nature With Love. Then proceed to re-braid or re-twist my hair into 4 large sections. I also wear flat-twists, headwraps and wigs. Protecting my hair against the harsh cold air is my goal during this time. I still occasionally wear my puffs too!
6)I deep condition once or twice a week in the cooler months (depend on my hairstyle)

Ive only been natural since August so this will be my first winter. I only have about 2.5 inches of hair but I have been practicing my twists so mostly I will be wearing twists and twist outs. I will also be switching to a moisturizing formula conditioner(Suave and Nexxus Humectress) and deep conditioning with Lustersilk Aloe once a week. I usually rinse with conditioner every other day but im going to switch to doing it twice a week. I will be using thicker moisturizers, and as for oils im switching from olive oil to the thicker castor oil.

When I had a teenie weenie afro (or TWA), I kept my hair in braids, scarves, or wigs during the cold months. My "Sta-Sof-Fro Hair and Scalp Spray" and I became best buddies over these past four years even during the cold times. I wash my hair more often when it's warm and less often when it's cold. I wear protective styles during the day and moisturize at night. Always wear a satin cap.

I'm thinking I'm twisting every week, doing regular CO's, towel drying, slathering on moisturizer, putting on a silk scarf and a hat and going on with my day. I don't really like how my face looks in twists, but i want a low maintenance style i can continue daily rinsing/washing. That's why I'm rocking the scarf/hat. I'm itching to try Elasta QP mango butter and Profective breakfree. I also make an amazing heavy moisturizer out of cocoa butter, shea butter, olive oil and coconut oil. I plan to start using castor oil. I'll also spritzing my hair fanatically. If I can afford it I'll be getting braids here and there- but its getting expensive for how long I can wear them- my hair's growing too fast for them to look good, i think.

I'm not interested in the braid thing, I han din fro disease so that doesn't work. I don't wear hats..I hate them.

So I guess I'll just rinse every morning and night and then spray with dew. Seal it in nature's blessing or a mixture I made of aloe, cocoa butter, sesame oil, vitamin e and olive oil. At night I just use care free creme, braid spray, or dew.
