How do u winterize your regi

[sofash]

Ladies is there anything special or different that you do to your hair in the winter to keep it protected?

 

[Seamonster]

I cover my hair up in the winter. In fact, I think I ignore my hair a lot in the winter, I sometimes wash in my buns, then wax them back into shape.

 

[Angel of the North]

I moisturise more regularly and increase the amount of protein a little to minimise shredding, I also try to PS more.

Heavier DC'ers, Cowash Conditioners, Butters & Oils.

Everything is heavier from about November through March.

I keep my hair covered/make sure I use leave-ins that are protein free,I use Dc's that contain little protein,My rinse contains moisturizing ingredients,Keep my scalp moisturize with pomades,I seal with butter or grease..

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[Monaleezza]

I have my hair in a sew in over the winter.
And keep it moist with similar products to those I use in the summer, only under my sew in I apply them through an applicator bottle.
I also wash less often.

 

[Meritamen]

I don't do much different in order to winterize my routine, I'm just more strict about it... no experimenting. Wear wigs, moisturize often, and deep condition more regularly. The only thing that actually changes is that I oil my scalp weekly because it becomes very dry during that time of year.

 

[browneyedgrl]

Moisturizer more, less washing.

 

[Naturalblessing29]

I use egg yolks and evoo... And coconut oil as a DC and it works good. At least for me

This exactly.....we have like the same winter reggie

 

[Angelinhell]

Start using a dandruff shampoo. My scalp always gets drier when it's cold.

 

[kinkycurlygurl]

I do the same regimen all year around, but in the winter I wear hats when I'm outside in the cold.

 

[kupenda]

I shampoo less, rinse and cowash more, DC twice a week, moisturize and seal more often, and keep my scalp both stimulated and protected by massaging twice a week with a light oil. So far so good! I'm also gonna look into buying a half wig

 

[Lucie]

I do less wash-and-go's. Other than that, it's all the same. Maybe I should do something a little different.

 

[LovinLea]

Less glycerin.

 

[trinity8mod8]

I love wash days, but I limit myself to wetting my hair only once per week. I tend to keep it in twists and braids more often instead of experimenting with wash-n-go techniques. Pretty much less manipulation overall.

 

[krissyhair]

I don't know what I need to do to winterize my hair this year. But I'm going to be inside most of the time.


Studying for my first try at the bar exam this winter!!!

 

[I Am So Blessed]

I don't winterize anything. Same all year round.

 

[Evolving78]

Wear a hat when it’s extremely cold, and wear hair up to avoid snagging on sweaters, winter scarves..

 

[kxlot79]

I add more oils to my routine, use more butters, and no coconut oil except as prepoo or DC. Use Satin lined hats or satin scarves. Less loose hair.

 

[Prettymetty]

I swap coconut oil for grapeseed oil.
I prepoo my scalp with oils to prevent dryness.
I wear my hair straight more.
