As the temperatures are truly cooling down and actually becoming cold, for some of you, caring for your beautiful black hair is just as important as caring for your skin.

Great hair like great skin begins from within.  That’s right, your body actually feeds your hair.  In essence, what you eat, feeds the skin and the hair follicles you have on your head.

It’s important that you take in foods that are going to nourish your scalp and your hair from within.

We have a tendency to think that because it’s cold or the temperatures are dropping that there are certain routines that we don’t have to do because things aren’t shown.

In the winter we have a tendency to cover our hair with different types of hats and scarves.   Hats and scarves keep your scalp warm and keep the heat in the body that will escape from your head if you don’t keep it covered.

You want to make sure that the type of coverings you use on your hair and your hair care products in general are something that’s going to be positive in the long run.

Do You Have A Hair Care Regimen?

With our skin we cleanse tone and moisturize, with our hair it has a regimen that needs to be carried out as well,  Shampooing, conditioning and moisturizing.

When you are cleaning your hair in the wintertime, one of the things you’ll want to make sure of is once you shampoo your hair, you are giving yourself a conditioning treatment.

Whether it’s a hot oil treatment or a cream based treatment and whether you treating natural hair or relaxed hair, you’ll want to make sure you’re conditioning your scalp.   Your scalp is where the hair follicle comes through your skin and you want to make sure there’s (for a lack of better terms) fertile ground for this hair follicle to come in to.

The cold climates will affect your hair just as much as a hot climate. Your hair will have a tendency to dry out in the wintertime as well as summer. But in the winter we have that added friction of putting wool skullies or hats on our head just to keep the heat in.

When conditioning your hair it will allow you to provide that moisturizing phase to your hair just as if you were doing it with your skin.

It will keep your hair from breaking, it will also keep your hair soft and supple, and moisturized to the tip. And with winter hair care, which is kind of how it’s been phrased recently, you’ll want to make sure that the products you’re using are actually nourishing your scalp and hair.

You’ll also want to make sure the coverage (scarves, hats) you’re using are not going to counteract what you’re doing when you’re nourishing the scalp.

By counteract I mean you are not going to use fabrics on your hair that are going to cause friction and then cause your hair to pop.

Bottom line, keep your hair clean, well moisturized and well groomed.  Your scalp will thank you for it.

Dedicated To Your Beauty!
