Mind What You Wear
Remember those days as a young school girl and your Mother placed layers upon layers of clothing during cooler seasons, leaving you with the feeling that you could almost be related to the abominable snowman? Well as a natural, especially those transitioning, minding what you wear or more specifically what your winter accessories such as hats are made from, plays a big role in the condition of your hair. Wool and other types such as Acrylic and Cashmere are naturally hygroscopic. Wool fibers are hollow and can absorb moisture almost one-third of its own weight. Which translates to your sensitive ends as big TROUBLE!
Tip: A satin or silk scarf thrown over the neckline of your favorite sweater or wool coat will do wonders in protecting the nape or more commonly known as the kitchen area, which seems to suffer the most abuse during colder temperatures. Another option is to rub a dime size amount of coconut and/or olive oil on the nape and surrounding base areas every morning.
