How To Care For Your Curls In Winter

Deep Conditioning helps prevent breakage, brittleness and helps to keep curls moisturised.

Here are some we love:

❄️  Seal it all in!

By adding in a little oil to your routine can really help lock in the moisturising properties you’ve laid down before. Many practise the LOC method (Leave in, oil, Cream) throughout the year and not just during the winter months or if like me you have coarse hair LCO (leave in, cream, oil).

Alternatively if you feel like your hair cant handle either of these methods, finish off your styling routine with a little oil to keep your curls protected from outside elements, like cold dry air, or indoor central heating and to keep your moisture in!

Here are some of our favourites:

❄️  Hold back on the humectants

Humectants give our curls moisture during the summer months by taking it from air all-around.

❄️  TWEEK it, don’t completely change it!

Small changes are enough, do not think you have to do all of the above and more for the whole duration of the winter period and every wash day. Still take the time to find out what your hair needs or is lacking, do not continually throw moisture hits at it because you think that’s what you should be doing, do this, and you will have limp, lifeless curls!
