Winterizing Your Hair

In a time when grease is though of as a bad thing I have learned, for my hair, it is the best protection against the bitter cold of living in the Northeast of the US. There is nothing cute about damaged hair so these are the products I use to make sure my hair is protected from the freezing cold and wind damage:

For my scalp I use either Blue Magic's Indian Hemp or Coconut Oil hair grease/conditioners


For my hair I use Black n' Sassy Lavender Oil...I like it MUCH better than Luster's Pink Lotion:

If things start getting really bad and my hair starts breaking or thinning out I use Bronner Bros. Pine Tar. It stinks like hell but works. 
WARNING: Only use this product at night, use a pillow case you don't care about and a scarf you don't care about. In the morning use a moisturizer that smells good but is light so your hair isn't super oily.

In the winter time I grease my scalp every 3 days and wash my hair every 3 - 4 weeks. I put a scarf on my hair every time I go outside (underneath my hat). I haven't quite found the perfect protective hairstyle for my lil busy self but when I do I will let you bloggers know!!!

  1. So I "made" this great recipe for women with 4a 4b hair (kinky, tight coils). I used Shea Moisture's Deep Treatment Masque and mixed it with olive oil, aloe vera gel, and an essential oil (Rosemary Oil). My hair is usually dry as heck, so I didn't think that this would work until i unraveled my twists the next day and it was shiny and soft and MANAGEABLE!! I definitely recommend this for 4a 4b girls!
