QuoteReplyTopic: Hair suffering in the winter?? Posted: March 07 2006 at 8:09pm
Has anyone else experienced this? My hair has grown alot regardless, but I'm having alot of shedding in these last few weeks. I think it's because I've gone down to once a week washings since it's so cold. After I was sick on Christmas, I went down to once a week because I got sick from washing my hair too often and then going out. (I know really dumb to do up North!) I was wondering, does anyone decrease their washings or up anything else during this time?

I decrease to once a week or every two weeks. Why? Because during the summer I excersicse, swim and washing my hair is very nessercary. HOWEVER, in the winter I could catch a cold and since I don't go out on staurdays, I wash my hair then. Plus, the winter hair makes my hair dry and prone to shedding and breaking (it snaps it off!) so I stay away from shampooing as much as possible.

I decrease washing a little also because it's freezing here! I would love to wash and go like I did in the summer but that's impossible for me because I'd be sick all the time. I know people say you can only get sick from germs but I have to differ because even in the summer if I wash my hair and fall asleep in front of the fan or something I wake up w/a scratchy throat.
I do up the moisturizing in the winter months, especially on my ends and I try to protect them more. I'll use a more heavy moisturizer like shea butter or my regular moisturizer w/castor oil over it to seal it in.
