winter hair care tips for curls & locs

Winter can be one of the most challenging seasons for natural hair. Cold air outside, dry heat indoors, and constant friction from scarves and hats can strip moisture from curls and locs, leaving hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.

1. Focus on Moisture

Hydration is essential in winter. Use a water-based leave-in conditioner and seal moisture with a lightweight oil or butter. Regular deep conditioning treatments help replenish lost moisture.

2. Reduce Friction

Scarves, coats, and hats can cause friction that leads to breakage. Choosing satin-lined hats helps protect hair from rubbing against harsh materials while still keeping you warm.

3. Protective Styling

Styles such as braids, twists, and locs benefit from protection during colder months. Be sure styles are not too tight and keep your scalp moisturized.

4. Cover Your Hair the Right Way

Covering your hair is important, but the material matters. Satin-lined hats provide warmth while preserving moisture and reducing frizz.
