Winter's Here...Winter Hair Care

Winter is here... whether we like it or not. It can be hard on your hair. The cold wind can dry out your hair and damage it beyond repair.

So what is my advice?

• Shampoo less and Condition more. If possible, shampoo your hair every other day and condition it every time. It is very important to deep condition at least once a week. Shea butter is always a great way of deep conditioning. (check out my shea butter blog)
• Use less hair appliances such as hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons... We all know that the heat does damage to our hair.
• Increase circulation to your head by massaging your head to help promote blood flow to your scalp. It also helps to spread your natural hair oil.

Good Hair = Shea Butter

Shea Butter

What is it?

• Shea butter (or karite) is a natural fat extracted from the fruit of the shea tree by crushing and boiling. It is edible and is used for cooking. It is also used in many health and beauty products.

What does it do?

• Its known to be one of the best ingredients for moisturizing. This thick and uber rich emollient is good for extremely dry, frizzy, coarse or damaged hair. It's also good for silky soft skin. And it's known to be used for scars, stretchmarks, chapped lips, and much more.

How can I use it in my hair?

• Melt the Shea Butter and apply to hair as a hot oil treatment after shampooing.
• Comb thru and rinse for silky soft tresses.
