‘Tis that time of the year when your hair regimen needs an adjustment more than ever for optimal functionality. You need to prevent your hair from quickly drying out, becoming brittle, frizzing out, and overall being in a healthy state. While we are not saying you should lay off on the products in your stash, an adjustment to the norm is necessary to ensure your hair flourishes during the winter weather. For instance, you’ll need to swap lighter products for thicker ones and incorporate new helpful products in your hair care routine.
If you’re ready to get started, below are some products— from deeply moisturizing creams to towels that help combat frizz—you can include in your regime for winter:
1. Wonder Curl Restoring Hair Treatment
Deep conditioners are necessary during winter, and this particular one is an intensive deep restorative hair treatment that conditions, strengthens, and moisturizes dry hair to improve texture and manageability. Its ingredients of olive oil, shea butter, avocado, and tamanu oil ensure that your strands are well-hydrated all through winter.
2. Crece Pelo Natural Fitoterapeutico Treatment
This deep conditioner is plant-based and contains active natural extracts for capillary growth. This winter, you don’t have to fear limp, lifeless hair as this product has all it takes to ensure your hair has health, vitality, and softness, harsh elements, regardless.
3. Alikay Naturals Moisture Rich Hair Parfait
Dry hair can be bad, but dry hair during winter can be worse. Alikay Naturals Hair Parfait is here to combat the winter weather with a moisturizing blend of shea butter, argan oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and bay essential oil. Whether your hair is fine, kinky, or curly, this product ensures you get all the moisture and hydration it needs all season long.
4. Oyin Handmade Whipped Pudding
Whether you work or school, if you’ll be out all day, you need this rich, dense moisturizing cream to ensure your curls stay soft and conditioned for the longest period. This whipped pudding is a mixture of rich botanical butter and oils that fully penetrate your strands from roots to tips.
5. Taliah Waajid Pure & Natural Shea Coco Curly Hair Souffle
Is your medium to thick 3b – 4b hair battling frizz? This souffle is the ideal product for fighting frizz in winter because it provides moisture and controls frizz. It also improves your curl definition and hydrates your hair without weighing it down.
6. Darshana Natural Indian Hair Oil
This all-natural hair oil is made with Ayurvedic oils that ensure your curly strands get the deep conditioning they need for this weather. This product also reduces frizz, maintains smoothness, and promotes healthy hair.
7. Difeel Premium Natural Hair Oil
Another hair oil you can include in the adjustment of your hair regimen is a powerful hair rejuvenator that protects against dryness and damage. It also helps your hair grow stronger and stay smooth.
You can use hair oils as a sealant after moisturizing or incorporate them in your hot oil pre-poo/deep conditioning treatments.
8. Edoneery Silk Bonnet
Keeping our hair hydrated all day is one thing; ensuring it remains hydrated at night is another. That’s why you must pull on a silk bonnet before bedtime to prevent your hair from drying out while sleeping. Silk bonnets also keep your curls in place so you don’t wake up to a bedhead the following day.
9. Red Pro Hair Therapy 2-in-1 Steamer
This hair steamer will provide the right heat to open your hair follicles and evenly distribute intense moisture to repair damaged hair cuticles. You can use it to boost the effectiveness of your hot oil and deep conditioning treatments. It can also be used on the skin, which makes it a win-win product.
10. African Pride Moisture Miracle Aloe & Coconut Water Pre-Shampoo
Although we advise that you ease up on shampoos and only use them occasionally during winter because of their drying properties, when you do use them, it’s essential to do a pre-shampoo treatment first. This pre-shampoo treatment helps to protect your strands from getting dried out by a shampoo while leaving them moisturized with a soft, bouncy hold.
11. Hair Remedie Frizz Eliminating Towel
The Hair Remedie Frizz Eliminating Towel prevents frizz and is large enough to dry even the longest, thickest hair. You can also use it to scrunch your hair dry without the worry of damage.
12. Minha Defining Diffuser
Drying your hair is crucial to keeping your curls, coils, and waves moisturized and hydrated. With all the holiday travel, having a collapsible diffuser is important to help add definition and volume to your hair while reducing drying time. Don’t let the winter weather prevent your curls from being bouncy, shiny, and defined.
