10 Must Know Winter HairTips
Ladies and Gentlemen, I know this has been one harsh, windy, cold and brittle winter. Here are a few tips that will sail you forward into Spring.
1. Limit heat styles and using heat tools excessively.
2. Trim your ends.
3. Use a gentle cleanser. I prefer to cowash.
4. Use a leave in conditioner/moisturizer daily.
5. Use an oil to lock in or seal moisture. I use olive oil or Argan oil.
6. Deep condition at minimum twice a month.
7. Limit wash and goes and extend the life of your style using twist outs and Bantu knot-outs.
8. Use protective or low manipulation styles during extreme temperatures. Tuck ends and cover hair and head while out in the winter elements. Line your winter hat with a silk scarf. This is no excuse to wear a bonnet in public. A SILK BONNET IS NOT A HAT.
9. Stay Hydrated. Drink water and foods with high water content. Eat balanced meals with a variety of good nutrients.
10. Never go to bed without a night routine or night scarf, bonnet or silk pillow case.
