Cool winter dry air can easily suck the moisture out of natural hair and can leave your scalp feeling annoyingly itchy. The bright side is you don't have to worry about frizz as much and there are ways to keep moisture on lock. 

Stretch out Your Wash Days

Being that your scalp is probably not sweating nearly as much as it did in the warmer seasons, this means that you may be able to go a longer time without cleansing. If you typically wash your hair every 2 weeks, you may be able to switch it to every 3 weeks to preserve more moisture and reduce the manipulation of your hair.

Have you tried our Moisturizing and Conditioning Shampoo? It cleanses while leaving your hair feeling soft, manageable, and NEVER stripped of moisture.

Protective Styles (Without Extensions)

Two strand twists, flat twists, coils and braided styles help to keep moisture in your hair longer. This is because your hair is not as exposed to the air. Protective styles without extensions are best because they allow you to properly care for your hair.

We know, we know... sew ins and braid extensions look gorgeous! But it's easy to forget to moisturize and keep up with your trims when you wear them.

Use Butters or Oils on Your Scalp As Needed

After making sure your scalp is nice and cleansed if you still got the itchies applying a butter or oil can help give you some relief. Butters and oils also help to seal moisture into your hair. 

Our Safflower Shea is perfect for the winter itchies! It contains lavender and rosemary (both are great for the scalp) with a light Vanilla scent. Use on the hair and body for radiant shine and moisture.

Moisturize Your Hair Twice Per Week

Thoroughly apply products with moisturizing ingredients making sure you pay extra special attention to the ends of your hair. The ends of your hair are the oldest part of your hair, they tend to be the driest part and the weakest. 

Use our Rice Water Leave in Conditioner to set the base for the perfect style, moisture and detangling. Our Leave in Conditioner is lightweight and can be applied whenever you feel like you need extra moisture throughout the week. Coconut Milk Twisting Creme and Flaxseed Gel are hair stylers that provide the hold you need while also containing moisturizing and nourishing ingredients.

Try Hair Steaming!

Hair Steaming can help to open your hair strands up so that they can easily absorb moisture. Then end result is softer and more moisturized hair.
