Winter Curls

I realised this week that I need a completely different hair routine in winter.Well maybe not routine but I definitely have to use different products and I think I'll be deep conditioning way more than before. With the heating on wherever I go: home/car/office, my hair was really looking parched. My deep treatments consist of a mixture of whatever oils I have in stock and right now it's: olive oil, castor oil, argan oil, coconut oil plus I add some Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol. I tried something new this week and scrunched in some unrefined shea butter (which I'd rubbed to form a smooth paste) after applying the DT. Ooooh did the hair gods smile on me for doing that. 

I've also been experimenting with styling products. The old faithful (Curl Junkie's Coffee Cocoa Cream) just wasn't cutting it. It just left my hair looking flat. Not the results that I'm used to getting from this product. So now it'll have to live in the cupboard until there's a hint of summer...which is probably only in about 6 months time. 

Here's a little collection of the week that was...(ps. this is the first post where you can actually see ME...still not sure how I feel about that) 

My hair looking a little thirsty on Monday night

And this is what it looked like on Tuesday...a bit flat for my liking hence the Curl Junkie's relegation to the cupboard. 

Wednesday I used only Lustrasilk and unrefined shea butter...result! Umm hi there :) So that's what I look like.

Thursday's hair was looking gooooood! Well that's my opinion. This pic was taken quite late (I was already in my comfy clothes) when I discovered an unopened sample of Jessicurl Oil blend for softer hair. I tried a bit. Definitely a keeper.

 So looks like I'm going to keep my winter curls routine pretty simple: co-wash with Inecto coconut conditioner (until I get something else) then rinse with Lustrasilk or Boots honey and jojoba mask then seal with one of the oils. I'll use Lustrasilk as my leave in and then scrunch in some unrefined shea butter. He he...reminds me of a hair colour...Nice & Easy.

Thanks for reading.
