It is officially fall and with cooler weather brings dry & brittle hair. The cuticle of naturally curly/wavy hair is already raised, and cold, dry air can cause the cuticle to stand up more allowing more of an opportunity to dry out the hair. Once the hair is severely compromised by the dryness it can lead to split ends or even breakage. It is officially fall and with cooler weather brings dry and brittle hair.

Here are a few tips to keep your hair hydrated and happy even while we enter into these cooler months.
At home deep conditioners are a great option to maintain curl health. Curls naturally lack moisture so ensuring your replenishing nutrients back into the hair is essential. Our favorite at home treatment is the Ouidad triple treat mask and we recommend using it 1-2 times a month.
Always use a professional heat protectant when using styling tools. The Ouidad gels offer a basic level of heat protectant while diffusing. When using any type of styling iron we love to use the Iles finishing serum and the Aquage Beyond Body setting mist as a heat protectant.
Keeping up with regular trims will remove split ends and maintain curl shape & health. We recommend our curly cut clients to get their hair shaped up every 3-6 months. If you do not get dead ends removed they will travel up your hair strand causing major breakage and dryness.
