It was even cold here in Houston this week. We were in the 30s for a couple days. Today the sun is back and it's about 65-70 :cool:

havilland · Feb 20, 2015

I didn't want to wet my whole head in -1 degrees. So I out conditioner on my ends only and then rinsed it out after an hour.

Joigirl · Feb 20, 2015

Below zero today! I've been wearing twist outs this week. And moisturizing a couple times a week at night. I hate this weather. My hair always feels dry this time of the year. I always think there's a problem with my regimen, but it is this moisture sapping weather causing the issue. Heavier creams and butter are helping. I have a lot less ssks than last year.

My head is in twists. I can always count on good old fashioned protective styles that I can just leave alone. :yep:

I also went heavy with moisture and sealant use. My hair is thanking me right now.

As I sit here with a head full of coconut oil and deep conditioner tryna get my moisture back.

Winter is something else!

Mz.MoMo5235 · Feb 22, 2015

@DoDo Yes it is very dry here, summer and winter. Except from July to Sept when we have our monsoon season. I prefer the dry heat though I do have to insure my skin and hair stay hydrated (not easy since I'm super lazy).

I never thought it made a difference until I lived in India for a year (super humid) and when I got back I got SO many compliments on my skin... and then AZ sucked the Indian beauty from my skin lol.

ETA: But I am sitting here appreciating my 67 degree sunny winter

Today is wash day. I did a coconut oil prepoo, washed with Con Argan oil and now I'm deep conditioning with Kerastase Oleo Relax and Alter Ego. I hope this Oleo Relax lives up to the hype.

I bought my all time fave Kerastase mask yesterday (Chroma Rich) and they are sending me 5 travel size products to sample :grin:

Just put in some deep conditioner to marinade for a bit. My hair is on auto pilot right now. After a two year transition and two and half years natural.....now I am just trying to leave her alone and let her grow.

Joigirl · Mar 1, 2015

Trying curl formers today. Wish me luck! The install was horrible.

I heard it gets easier. Good luck! Make sure u post results.

Joigirl · Mar 1, 2015

Took the curlformers out and the result was worth the pain and aggravation. I will separate and fluff tomorrow. I also clipped my ends after taking down each sleeve.

I agree!!! Your hair is blinging

Joigirl · Mar 2, 2015

Thanks ladies. My curls didn't last. They weren't firm enough and started to unravel in certain areas. I used a butter under my gel, so I will skip this step next time. I washed them out and did a WNG tonite. Long sigh....

I think it does. I tend to use it with Kinky Curly Curling Custard if I am using a gel. I rarely wear wash and go's though so I tend to use it with butters, pomades and oils. It goes with all of those very well. It is also great at softening second and third day wash and go hair.

Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship was my holy grail, but they discontinued it

Now I use Neutrogena Silk Touch cream until something better comes along. It's light enough for my straight hair, but when I wear it curly I need something thicker.

I flat ironed today. My hair is so boring!!! I just want it to be longer....like hip length...... Which is totally insane to me because i am now bra strap length. (My original goal was apl). I officially have hairorexia! But My hair is boring to me. I have no layers no color it is just long hair....no vavoom ?!

Here is my bunny bun. I flat ironed and immediately put it up to protect the ends from the air. If I keep looking at them (my ends) I'm going to trim and I'm not supposed to trim until June.

*cries* I miss my bun now!!!! :'(
