Things I do for winter hair care.=: 1. more steams at the trichologists!! 2. More silicone/ synthetic oils on my ends. 3. more covered hair. 4.Less glycerin. 5. Less protein more moisture on wash day.

[@christine1962ful]

It's really strange because I'm literally doing the complete opposite to your routine! I'm wearing WnGs, washing every 5 to 7 days using, botanical gels with glycerin. My hair is absolutely loving it, feels very soft and thriving! I have been wearing my hair like this for the last 7 months and based in the UK. Also, I don't add extra oils/butters. Its strange how differently our hair can react, but I'm not complaining! Really enjoying my hair now that I've settled into a consistent routine.🥰

[@marleyhill34]

Remember to wrap your hair in silk or satin under the nursing cap to protect it from rubbing especially on the edges.

[@blaqrapunzel3799]

Whenever my scalp begins to itch, I apply oils using a qtip. I steam my hair using a plastic shower cap and I leave my hair alone in a protective style for about two months during the winter.

[@joybanks4974]

I keep doing wash n go styling during the winter. My hair loves the moisture. Moisture comes from hydrating the hair through the shampoo and conditioning processes. This is where hydration occurs week to week. You have to add it back, as it is a natural process because water will evaporate from your hair over a short period of time. We often confuse lubrication and moisturization with hydration. Only water hydrates, oils/grease/butters lubricate, and creams formulated with water offer slight moisturization. We can't expect our hair to stay hydrated after shampooing. Think of it as you only drinking a cup of water for the whole week and expecting to stay hydrated all week. There is no product that will add hydration nor sufficient moisture to the hair; only water does that when the cuticle is lifted during shampooing. Additionally, the scalp needs hydration as well. Our scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Using the analogy comparing growing hair and a plant. If our hair was like a growing plant, our scalp would be the soil it grows out of. In order for a plant to grow, we water it. Sometimes we oil an itchy scalp when it really needs water and cleansing.

[@celesteporter2918]

@@jojolovelyflowers1149 Research hydrofatigue. Then, you will know what @The Cure is referring to about water damage. Now, her comment about hair with no, oil, grease or butter not needing to be shampooed is not true. Our scalps naturally produce oil, which does need to be cleansed occasionally. You can discuss using sulfate free vs sulfate shampoos based on one's hair regimen and lifestyle. Some people have more active lifestyles in which they sweat more or are exposed to more dirt in the environment, which justifies cleansing.

[@ChimereTrielle]

In the summer, I use a leave in, cream and lighter oil. In the winter, I use a leave in, lighter cream, thicker cream and thicker oil. Usually avocado oil or sunflower oil and my hair stays moisturized SOOOO long!

[@so.many.obstacles]

I keep the same routine product wise, however, I wash less in the colder months. I’ve been natural for 13 years so I’ve gotten a grasp on what my hair needs are. My main issue is settling into what I want for my hair. My 4c hair grows relatively quickly and gets long (I’ve let it grow to my tailbone) but I truly don’t like long hair. So I went back to being a baldie, but now I’m letting it grow again, but when I let it grow long I just keep it twisted and in a bun because I hate feeling hair on my face, neck and shoulders…ugh!

[@dijahmedi4882]

During the winter months I switch my products up. Stay away from coconut oil and products with glycerin in it because I’ve noticed that my hair feels like straw if I use anything with those 2 in it. I also try to dc more. Can’t promise that I’m consistent, but I give it a try when I do remember.

[@valenciawalker6498]

I have not relaxed my hair in 20+ years! And so long as I keep it hydrated, I can get the desired length! I recently switched over to washing it with baking soda, and a beginning leave in conditioner of red apple cider vinegar. Because my hair is natural, tightly coiled at the scalp, s-shaped in length and curled up on the ends, I deep condition prior to washing. My hair feels and looks better than ever [so long as I keep the hodge podge of gray colored with Biden, which I only began coloring again this November after a many a year hiatus]! 😎 I’m new to your channel, but I think I am going to like it!

[@jazmynnmontanez6722]

The only real difference I do in the winter is I co-wash every other week. On the weeks that I co-wash, I skip my conditioner, still do my deep conditioner (I use Aussie 3 minute Australian Jojoba) and then end with my homemade leave in and I seal with my homemade oil mixture. I wear my hair in twists and pin them to protect my ends from my coat/sweaters, etc. And I still moisturize in the middle of the week. In warmer months I just shampoo every week and follow the above routine, except I wear my hair out more in the summer.

[@ckmodele]

During the winter months (I live in FL) I will switch up the heaviness of the oil and wash it less often (every 2 weeks) this thick shoulder length hair. With those wash days I will deep condition to retain treat my hair with much needed TLC.

My wash regimen doesn't really change much. I still wash my hair every 7-10 days deep conditioning. I do LCO but tend to add a prepoo more often because of the drier air. I am doing henna and protein treatments two months apart. My last henna was 2 weeks ago. My protein treatment will be in February. I don't flat iron my hair so I skip that. My DIY oil has both olive oil and castor oil so this time of year it helps with moisture retention. If I wear my hair out it stays moist 4 days before I need to remoisturize. When wash day comes back around my hair still feels good.

if you have scalp issues you need to shampoo your scalp with the appropriate type of shampoo. I no longer put raw oils or butters on my scalp because they were causing an allergic reaction. Itching and soreness and inflammation but no flakes. You need a surfactant to properly clean your scalp. Vinegar, aloe vera, witch hazel and glycerin are not surfactants. Most common surfactants are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl betaine.
