TIPS TO KEEP HAIR MOISTURIZED DURING FALL & WINTER MONTHS

 If you struggle to keep your hair nourished during the warmer months, you are probably thinking how will you survive the winter without having dry & brittle hair. Here are a few tips to keep your hair hydrated & moisturized during the fall & winter months.

• Drink More Water - I know it seems crazy, but water is great and necessary for hydration to your skin, nails and especially your hair.
• Use a Leave-in Conditioner - This is key for helping your natural hair stay moisturized. Make sure to use a glycerin-free product, that is water-based.
• Seal & Protect Your Ends - During the colder months, it is important to lock in moisture with butter-based (shea, cocoa, mango, etc.) products and heavier oils.
• Try Protective Styles - This is a good time for twists, updo's and braids, because it will protect your hair from the harsh winter weather.
• Remember to Deep Condition - Don't skip deep conditioning during cold weather. Also, try including a hot oil treatment in your natural hair care regimen...your hair will truly be grateful. I also recommend using a steamer to penetrate your hair, while infusing it with moisture.
