I decided to
update my winter regimen as I have changed a few things. I am "oh so
lucky" to experience all four New York seasons but with that comes
dry-cold air; and with that comes dry-brittle hair. I've managed to follow some
staples that keep my hair healthy and moisturized during the colder seasons. Be
sure to check out my other regimen posts as well!
1.
Conditioning.
I
co-wash maybe every 2 to 3 weeks and I'm a huge fan of deep conditioning. I
stand by my mayonnaise conditioner and to winterize it, I add 1 to 2 drops of
peppermint oil (click here for my recipe). I leave it
on for 40-60 minutes to let it really penetrate my strands and scalp.
2.
Washing.
I
wash my hair with RenPure Organic Argan Oil Shampoo or
ACV. When I wear braids/twists my wash schedule depends on the dirtiness of my
hair.
3.
Retaining Moisture. You guys know by now how much I live
by the LOC method. I start with water then I
seal in my moisture with extra virgin olive, coconut or castor oil and lock
everything in with Shea butter.
4.
Protecting.
See that beanie in the photo? I literally wear it all the time! Don't worry, I
keep it clean. I usually wrap my hair with a satin scarf and rock the beanie
for an entire week. Of course twists, braids, weaves & wigs are options as
well. My new favorite style is a goddess braid which I’ll show you how to do
soon!
