Crash course
A quick rundown of essentials to a winter hair care regimen.
• Wash and condition your hair regularly, though remember to do a natural deep condition at least twice a month.
• Use flexi rods to stretch out those locks.
• Use a thick toothed comb or natural fiber wide tooth brush to detangle your hair.
• Make the most of protective functional styling, do your hair up in buns and rock twists, as much as possible.
• Treat your hair with henna at least once a month.
• Religiously oil your hair ends every single day.
• Moisturize your hair every three days, followed by an oil treatment to seal in the moisture.
• Tie your hair up in a satin bonnet every night before going to bed.
Complete winter hair care regimen
• Open up your messy bun or hair twists every other week and massage a deep, preferably natural, conditioner, pull on a plastic cap with a microwave heat cap over for about 15-30 minutes.
• Rinse your hair out and separate into two sections. Wash thoroughly with shampoo a side at a time, rinse clean.
• Then apply a silky conditioner to both sides in a scrunching motion. Quickly pass your head under the shower to spread in the conditioner and add more slip. Leave in for a bit.
• Work at detangling hair, one side at a time, with your fingers. If you have persistent tangles that remain as the conditioner washes away, simply apply more conditioner and continue detangling.
• Once all the conditioner has been washed out and your hair is tangle free, gently blot-dry your hair and leave to dry for about 15-30 minutes. Apply a leave in conditioner, seal in with oil.
• Then stretch your hair out with flexi-rods and leave to set for about 5 hours.
• Remove the rollers and comb your curls adding oil to separate and define them further.
• Tie your hair up either in flat twists, high bantu knot, chunky twists or a bun. Once your twists are done, finish them up with a spray of hair dew, focus on the ends, to keep them moisturized and help set.
• Pull on a satin scarf bonnet over your well treated hair and turn in for the night.
