Getting ready for the winter (hair care)

[Lilmama1011]

Well winter is approaching, I'm pretty sure everyone could tell, even in AZ it's getting a bit cooler and getting darker earlier as well.Time to step the moisture game up ladies and get heavier sealers. What do you have ready or plan to purchase for this winter?

 

[Lilmama1011]

i was washing with a moisturizing shampoo weekly and clarifying monthly but for the winter i will be using cleansing conditioners for three weeks (using the rest of the silk dreams and purchasing as i am coconut cowash) and clarifying with ors creamy aloe shampoo the fourth week and following up with v05 to soften it up a bit and deep conditioning after. currently trying to finish up creme of nature shampoo before winter starts. i have noticed my new growth does not like shampoo, it tangles and that's why it was so hard to separate hair while applying conditioner relaxer style will farther into my stretch.

I haven't looked into it officially.

but i had an army surplus beret that i used to wear that was 100% wool and lined with 100% silk and one with a peak that i got from h&m years ago with a satiny polyester inside.

hmmm i may have to look around on that front.

I'll be incorporating oil rinsing and using oil in my hair more. It'll be my first go around seriously doing that so I hope it pays off.

To prepare for the winter weather I am stocking up on heavy moisturizers and butters, bagging my ends and moisturizing from root to ends. In addition, I purchased some silk lined hats that I plan to use whenever I am out. I am interested in wigs and I have purchased a couple of RPG wigs but I am too nervous to wear them. More nervous that it will be obvious that I am wearing a wig or that it will come off. I need to overcome this fear.

Where you get the hats? Rozlewis

 

[Ogoma]

just using a heavier hand to seal. Don't mind greasy hair in the winter.

 

[Dshsjh4ever]

I guess I'll just use eq mango and castor oil to seal ends ...

 

[Prudent1]

Weekly DC (Joico, ORS, or Aussie)
bi-weekly CW
spritz hair daily with distilled H20
apply lv-in
sealing with JBCO
Use reconstructors every other week (Emergencee, Joico)
Clarify when needed (Nutrogena, ORS)
When I feel like it or when/ scalp feels dry-
Scalp massages with oil blends (hemp,grapeseed,& JBCO)
'Oil' scalp with coconut grease mixed with sulfur

I faithfully wear a scarf under whatever hat I have on anytime the temp is 40 degrees or lower or when/if my hair is damp/wet. I faithfully baby/ hide my ends and PS 98% of the time.

Lilmama1011, I purchased several hats from Hatsome and from Storenvy. the specific shop at Storenvy was YNVECouture. She sells very nice quality silk lined beanies. However, if you visit the shop now it will show everything out of stock because she is on maternity leave. I a not sure when she plans to return but you can also connect with her on Facebook. I believe her name on Facebook is Curls2Envy.

Below is a link to the shop.

I've oil rinsed twice (my last two cowashes) and I really like it. Let the "oils, ..." thread know how it's working for you!

Lilmama1011: Naptural85 has a Youtube video on how to protect your hair under hats with your satin scarf/shower cap. I just came across it and her tips are very helpful!

I did the shower cap thing last winter. Had extra caps in my coat pockets, in the car... I'm sure I looked strange putting it on before going out but my hair didn't suffer.

 

[Lita]

To add,taking Omega soft gels,it helps with moisture from the inside & other health related benifits...

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[oneastrocurlie]

I think I'm just going to alternate between pinned up twists with my own hair and marley twists until March.

Leave my hair be.

Thanks for that info!

My changes will be to DC weekly (vs. not at all) and wetting my hair more often. I usually can go 4-5 days before my hair gets dry, but the dang heat being on inside is drying my hair out so fast . I might have to wash every other day if it gets worse when it actually gets cold.

 

[Lovestyr]

I live in florida so its not quite cold yet. But when it does get cooler I plan on keeping my hair in a protective syle(buns).

Loc method as needed and pushing my wash days back to 1x a week.

Change my regimen to include more moisture products vs proteins. As long as I'm cautious I don't think I'll experience moisture overload.

 

[ChocolatePie777]

My hair loves winter....so I just keep it curly (with wash n gos) and keep it moving .......its summer that's a struggle for my hair

 

[so1913]

I'm not sure if I'll do anything different...at the most I may consider putting in mini twists at some point, last year I did that and was able to keep a set in for a month at a time...may be the way to go.

 

[CurliDiva]

I can't wet my hair as often in winter, so I need to experiment with moisturizing and seal!
