So...
*~*...as the sun cools off and the chill gets stronger...*~*
Now, we're on the West Coast, so snow and REALLY cold winters are NOT a part of our lives out here... BUT, with the colder weather comes some changes.
So, what do we do on The Avenue in the colder months???
***In the colder months, I don't wash our hair as much. I don't even RINSE our hair as much. It's not necessary on our hair. It doesn't get as dirty as it does when the sun is constantly beaming down on us.
***I do a DC treatment once a month/month and a half. The DC treatment consists of:
Cholesterol Conditioner with Aloe Extract
Natural 7 Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Olive Miracle Growth Oil
(mix it together, apply it to our water wet hair, cover w/a plastic baggy for 30(Choca), 60(BB), 120(CC &I) minutes, rinse out and style)
***SEAL, SEAL, SEAL!! Again, that's another year-round thing for me, but during these months, it's imperative to keep the ends right and tight, so they don't split and dry up. How do I do this?? Well, if you must know:
Suave Professionals Humectant Conditioner
Suave Professionals Damage Care
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Water
That right there works WONDERS on the Avenue!!!
My favorite greases for the winter??
Why? Because they are thick and keep our hair protected in the cold weather.
***Hats, Kufis, Tams, Beanies, Scarves, etc. We are all about covering our crowns and keeping them safe!! :)
***And, of course we always cover our heads at night with satin bonnets or du-rags!! That is another year-round deal over here!! :)
However, other than that, our regimen is the same. :) Again, where we stay, it doesn't get too cold . So we don't really have too many changes to make (YAAAY US!)
So, that's our Winter Hair Care Routine!! Pretty basic (the way I like it), and easy peasy! :)
I hope you find this post helpful!!!

grease is the word, is the word, is the word... whole movie is gonna be stuck in my head now! i love the twists! cc has some super cute twists! everybody does though. that settles it, I'm trying twists on GDL!
Goldilocks*n*Me * AHAHAHA!! That is a great movie! :) -- I'm a twist fanatic, mami!! For real!! And thank you!!! :) PLEASE TRY them. When you get to the end, change the separation on the bottom to lock the twist formation in... And do it kinda tight, so when it loosens up, it's where you want it to be! :)
(I hope that makes sense)

Keeping my hair covered during the brisk cold winters is something I didn't think about until you mentioned it. That cooler air can literally snap the strands in half.
Nicole * Yes ma'am!! It'll snap it up, dry it, and whisk it away... Oh nooooooooooooooooo!! :)
