The cold months are here again! November, December, and January often bring the harshest weather of the year, and while cozy sweaters and warm drinks are a vibe, your natural hair might not agree.

The dry air and cold winds that come with winter or harmattan can easily strip moisture from your hair, leading to dryness, breakage, and stalled growth. But don’t worry, with the right routine and products, you can grow your hair instead of breaking it this season.

Here’s how I double down on moisture and protect my hair all winter long.

Use a Steam Cap to Boost Moisture Absorption

If you have low porosity hair, you’ve probably noticed that products tend to “sit” on your strands instead of sinking in. A steam cap is a game changer. It gently opens up your hair cuticles, allowing deep conditioners and treatments to penetrate better.
This simple step makes your wash days more effective and helps your hair retain hydration much longer.

Never Skip Deep Conditioning

Deep conditioning every wash day is non negotiable, especially if you want to maintain length and softness.

Look for a deep conditioner with humectants like glycerin and honey. Humectants are moisture magnets that pull water from the air into your hair, keeping it hydrated even in dry, cold weather.

Lock in Moisture with a Leave-In and Oil Combo

After deep conditioning, follow up with a leave, in conditioner and a natural oil. This duo keeps your hair moisturized for up to two weeks!

A good leave, in provides hydration, while a nutrient rich oil, especially one infused with herbs, strengthens your strands and helps prevent hair loss. This combo seals in moisture and protects your hair from the harsh, dry air.

Style Smart: Go for Juicy Jumbo Braids or Twists

Protective styles like jumbo braids or twists are perfect for the winter months. After applying your leave in and oil, style your hair in these chunky, juicy sections.

They help retain moisture, stretch your hair, and reduce tangles all of which means less breakage and more length retention.

Plus, you won’t need to constantly re-moisturize your hair between wash days.
