Our natural hair is so precious and we really have to treat it as such. My Summer hair regimen consisted of protective styles and moisturizing. However, I admit that I manipulated my hair a lot over the summer and that is not good for maintaining length and minimizing breakage. For the past couple of weeks I have worn my hair up off my shoulders either in buns, twists, or puffs. Each night I gently separated my hair into sections and moisturized the ends and the shaft portion of my hair. I did notice less dryness and less breakage but I think I can do better.
With the exception of special occasions (Homecoming [Eagle Pride!!], church events, etc), I am going to focus more on protecting my ends from the "outside world." My Fall regimen will be as follows:
Moisturize shaft and ends nightly with a water based product
Seal with light oil
Sleep with a satin night cap
And style in creative protective styles
Let's see if I can make it the entire Fall season. (Not looking forward to winter, boo cold weather).
