Now That the Weather is Changing… Let’s Talk Haircare
With the seasons shifting, it's not just your wardrobe that needs adjusting—your hair routine does too.
The Shift in Seasons and Hair Care
As the weather changes, our hair often feels the effects. For me, I like to keep things simple. I stick to a routine that works and only tweak the products slightly. My leave-in conditioner is one area where a small change can make a big difference. Weather can get drier or more humid, impacting how our hair behaves. But don’t worry—we’ll dive deeper into the details as we go.
The Importance of Proper Haircare
Let’s be real—wash day can feel like a full-time job, especially for textured and curly-haired individuals. I understand how draining it can be. Fortunately, I've found a way to break it down into manageable steps so it doesn’t feel so overwhelming.
When wearing a protective style, it’s vital that your hair underneath is well-moisturized and properly cared for. A style is only truly protective if your real hair is thriving underneath. You need to use products tailored to your hair’s specific needs—not just what’s trending on TikTok.
Choosing the Right Products
The right products make all the difference. For me, my holy grail brand is Shea Moisture, hands down. I adore their masks and conditioners. They provide optimal hydration, which is perfect for my hair. Occasionally, I switch it up with Aussie, especially when I want a little extra slip or moisture.
It's essential to assess your hair's condition regularly. Everyone’s hair is different, and discovering what works best for you can take time. Don’t hesitate to try new brands or products until you find the perfect match. When I find a product that works, I stick with it.
My Go-To Routine
My hair care routine is simple and realistic—because life gets busy! I usually wash my hair about once a week, depending on how much product I’ve used or if my scalp feels like it needs a reset.
After washing, I always use a leave-in conditioner. In the colder months, I prefer something thicker and creamier to lock in moisture. A good leave-in conditioner helps to ensure that my hair is moisturized throughout the day.
Next, I follow up with an oil or serum—something light like grapeseed or jojoba—to seal everything in without weighing my hair down too much. It’s crucial to find a balance between hydration and heaviness in your products.
I’ve also been loving the Flourish Growth Oil. It nourishes my scalp, keeping it healthy and flake-free, which is essential when the air gets dry. You’ll notice that maintaining a healthy scalp contributes significantly to hair health.
Identifying Signs of Hair Needs
It's essential to listen to your hair. Sometimes it shows clear signs that it needs a little extra care. For example, if your hair feels dry or brittle, you may need to switch to a more moisturizing product.
Pay attention to how your hair behaves in different weather conditions. Does it get frizzy in humidity? Does it feel limp in the dry winter air? Acknowledging these patterns can lead to better hair health.
Final Thoughts
Your hair is your crown, and taking the time to care for it—especially during seasonal changes—makes all the difference. The key is consistency. Listening to your hair's needs will help you create a routine that works.
As we move into this new season, I encourage you to take a fresh look at your routine. Ask yourself: What’s working? What needs to change? Small tweaks can lead to major results in the long run.
In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing more about the specific products I use, tips for protective styling, and how I keep my hair thriving no matter the season.
Stay informed and proactive with your hair care routine. Embrace the changes and remember to stay moisturized and flourishing!
Until next time, take care of your crown!
