How does everyone else tweak their regimen during winter?

Just curious.


Do you bun more often?? Stop cowashing?? More Protein? More moisture?

I'm a 4a/b natural and so far I've only replaced my natural oils with hair butters to seal after moisturizing, and I'm gonna wear braids instead of two strand twists as a protective style. I read this great article in SBH about winter hair care, haven't applied all the tips yet.

I cowash through the Winter, I figure my hair could use the extra moisture. I do wear buns daily, though.

Thanks for the input ladies! It doesn't get freezing cold here in SoCal...although this past winter has been a trip! LOL
But I was still wondering if I was supp to do something different now that it's cold, or if it didn't even matter...

I feel like the winter cold and the summer heat are equally damaging. So I do the same thing during both, daily moisture from rinsing or dampening my hair and lots of oil to protect my ends.

I do a lot more protective styling like braids during the winter months. I don't like my hair ends exposed to the effects of the harsh winter weather. Not good for my hair. I spray my homemade moisturizer on it daily also to keep my natural hair within the braids well moisturized.

I do more rollersets in the winter- Texas humidity kills my sets in the summer. I pretty much use the same regimen product wise year-round.

I typically do the same my regime does not change protective styling and moisturing every other day.

Me too, I actually been cowashing more.

Even here in socal, I moisturize more becaue my hair will get dryer with the use of heaters and in the cold. I also make sure I seal with just a smidge more camellia oil on the ends everyday.

During winter I moisturize every night, I don't leave the house with damp hair, and I hide my ends. During the summer I'll do co washes for wash n go styles, braidouts and use less heavy moisturizers.

I've done 3 new things this winter:

• Upped my deep conditioning with heat sessions to 2-3 times per week!
• discovered AO Honey Suckle Rose conditoner - which is a godsend!
• added Homemade whipped shea butter to seal!

I actually wash less.....

I deep condition more and use more butters than oils, i also make sure I wear protective styles a lot, London winters can be HARSH on my fine 4a/b strands.
