What are your winter time rituals??

We all know that summer time does some nasty things to our hair. But, what about the winter? Where I`m at, the winters get quite nasty and very cold. (Way WAY below zero) So, is a hat and regular conditioning treatments enough? Or does wintertime call for extra special treatment? Does anyone do anything special during the winter months to protect their locks?

Dear Good Girl

In winter, I make sure I never go out with damp hair as I read somewhere that the cold temperature causes the water to freeze and cracks the hair shaft apart.
I also cover my hair up with a close-knit scarf that keeps out the wind and cold, and before I go out, I feed it with a leave-in conditioner (Phyto 9).
I deep condition it every time I wash and make sure it is tied/braided so that the wind cannot penetrate it.
When It gets bitterly cold, I wash it in the evening and apply a light dressing of avocado oil to penetrate overnight. It is soft and strong in the morning and has a resistance to wind/cold/rain.

Hope that helps.

I find I use a great deal more oil in the winter.
When I know I`m going to be outside for more than a few minutes - skiing, walking the dog, etc. I oil lightly, braid the length, wrap it in a cotton scarf and drop it down inside my coat.

I always wear a hat or hood.

I deep condition 2x a month, where in the summer I do that every 6 or 8 weeks.

I keep our house humidified as well, I find that`s good for hair and skin.

Best of luck

Hi ! :)

For static in hair, which most people think is caused by a lack of moisture -

Rub a dryer sheet, very lightly, over your hair.
Use a tiny bit of oil to help keep moisture in the hair.
Run a humidifier or put bowls of water on radiators.
Use a natural bristle brush - plastic bristles tend to help static.

Hope this helps ~
