Winterising my Regimen For Winter

Hey Y'all

So winter is definitely here and I have to winterize my regimen to ensure my hair stays healthy in this cold months to come. I usually change my regimen by changing how I wear my hair and some of the prodcts I use, so here is a quick post on my winter regimen additions:

My Winter Regimen

For the winter, I focus on keeping my hair hydrated through washing, co washing, moisturising and sealing

Washing

2ce a week I Wash my hair with VO5 "Give me Moisture" conditioner and follow up with my TREsemme Keratin Maque.

Every 2nd Sunday I use Shampoo instead of Conditioner to wash my hair;

Wash Days (2 Sundays a Month)

 

1. "Pre-poo" with a hot oil treatment of " Castor oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and Argan Oil for 15 minutes.

Relaxer Process: Step 3

This is the final step to my "Relaxer Process", it is typical for me to keep my hair straight for more than a week after I relaxed because I know once I wash it I won't be flat ironing it for a while.

Because my hair was not fully flat ironed I did not have any qualms washing my hair sooner than I usually would (2weeks). So Wednesday, I proceeded to Wash and put my last type of protein.

Anti-Hair Regimen

So yesterday after I posted my hair regimen, and I got the same responses I've been getting for a minute; it's stressful, can't be bothered, I work e.t.c. With most things you can go hard from the beginning or make little changes that will eventually lead to the end goal. 

So here are some tips for the lazy Uninspired.

Hair Regimen Basics

Here is a list of the basic essentials of a good regimen, the types of products and frequency of use will vary based on your hair type (natural, relaxed, coloured e.t.c.). I find this list can help some of us that tend to over indulge when we start something new. By following this guide you can prevent yourself from becoming a product junkie, I mean notice how it says 1 right? Yes in the beginning I suggest you acquire 1 of each product until you find it is not working for you or till you can calmly make a pocket-wise decision to buy more. Also if something works for you keep it and remember the 80-20 rule  (you know the one that says "if it aint broke, don't fix it"), That being said you can be a bit adventurous ever so often, anyhoo here is the list.....
