Winter Hair

Posted in Hairstyles by

I just realized today that the winter is coming and I have no clue how to care for my natural hair in the winter. I know the main things, but there are a few things that worked out great in the summer, but I can’t imagine doing in the winter.

For example, these cold water rinses. Great idea in the summer, but could be deadly in the winter.

I was never one to let my hair air dry. Another thing that worked quite well in the summer, but I may freeze to death if I try that in the winter.

Everyone wants to hide their hair in a bun in the winter, but what’s going to keep my neck and ears warm in the winter if my hair is always pulled back?

I was planning to take a pic of my twists tonight, but my iPhone died. It occurred to me that I never take pics with my camera. I turned it on to take pics and immediately gasped at the first pic that popped up.

Oh, how I miss thee! I just love the way long hair looks on me! Ok, I’m done weeping.

I got sidetracked. So the pics I meant to post were these…

Fresh twists, ready for the weekend. Can you see the bushiness at my ends now?

Anyway… How do you guys manage your winter hair routine?

My Little Secret

Posted in Uncategorized by

What’s been going on? Nothing much over this way. I was proud of myself for actually finishing two jars of hair products. The My Honey Child – Olive You I’ve already replenished, but I doubt I’d replenish the DevaCurl – Heaven in Hair. It was good, but it wasn’t heaven in MY hair!

I realized I have two main styles and I go back and forth about which one is more beneficial for my hair… a bun or a twistout. I like both for different reasons, but I’m realizing that as my hair grows in the back, it’s rubbing against my clothes and tickling my neck. LOL. In the long run, that probably won’t be a good thing.

Regardless of which style seems better, my hair is definitely growing. How do I know? Well……. I secretly did a length check for my own personal knowledge! LOL. Don’t ask for pics because you won’t get them… at least not yet. I probably won’t do a public length check until the end of the month and I’ll keep it quarterly.

This is usually the time of year where my hair starts shedding, for some unknown reason. I don’t know if it’s because of the change in season why that happens. My hair actually fares better in the winter. This year I’ll miss my hair keeping my neck and ears warm.

I need more versatility though! I want a nice cornrow updo or something. I’m pretty bored with my hair these days, but I have been sticking to a regimen and taking good care of it.

Well, that concludes another pictureless post. There’s really nothing to see here guys! =)

XOXO,
