I haven't posted since November, so bear with me. I've been so uber busy with the holidays and such, that I didn't get a chance to do too much for myself. I mean besides picking up a few things for myself when buying for others, but I digress. Now back to the matter at hand. When the winter wind blows does your hair stand at attention, or does it sway from side to side? No sashaying or swaying you say? Then your follicles are frozen! Winter weather dries out everything, because the only moisture in the air outside is frozen moisture, and the moisture in the inside is dry heat. This is including drying out your tresses and scalp if you don't take the necessary precautions to keep this from happening. Here are a few pointers:
- Wash your hair at least once every 1-2 weeks, depending on what your scalp needs. If it is dry as the sahara desert, and itching like crazy, then you may have to wash it often, but also deep condition or use a hot oil treatment.
- Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Wait, did I say moisturize? Moisture is your friend during this season, and I'm not saying that you have to break out the pink lotion and slick it down (which btw is not a good look) but you need to take a few drops of oil (preferably organic) and run it through your hair when you need it.
- Cover that head up!! Besides the benefits of keeping 70% of your body heat in, keeping your head covered can cut down on how much you hair is exposed to the elements. Do make sure that your hat isn't too tight, or you may wind up "rubbing" your precious tresses away.
Hope this helps!!
