Winter and Dry Hair

Happy Year!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.  Me and my family hung out around the house for Xmas and then up to Philly and NYC for the week.

We had a great time, but it was super cold, which brings me to the point of today’s post (in a roundabout wayJ).  I decided to get micros in November as a protective style.  They still look great, but I have had a hard time finding a good moisturizer.  I saw so many stories online about hair getting too dry and breaking off, that I became border line obsessedL. 

Well, a few days ago I just decided after washing and conditioning to just use my old standby of coconut oil and Oyin’s Juices and Berries.

It worked like a charm!!!  I don’t know why I was obsessing or thought I had to use something else.  I blame the many, many , many different blogs  and youtubes on natural hair and braids ;)

Now my hair and scalp look and feel good.  No more dry patches and the added bonus of the delicious fruity smell of the juices and berries.  My son swears I am holding out on the candy…

Luv  U 4 Real,

New Year!!!

Happy and Nappy New Year to everyone~!  I brought this New Year in with family and it was nice an quite.  As for my hair, having taken my hair out of the braids a few days earlier, I was just rockin' big braids after washing my hair.  I have done braids for twenty years but for some reason my hair is so dry!

I am trying to figure out if it is actually dry because it is cold as a big dog or if it is just my imagination because my hair has been tucked away for a while.  I finally wore my hair out yesterday to work and got great compliments.  Sometimes I'm just hard on myself or should I say my hair!!! lol

This year I am going to focus on just the health of my hair.  I have not had a good trim in almost a year.  In the next few weeks I will get in trimmed and continue to deep condition my hair to retain my moisture and health of my hair. 

Do you have any changes in for the new year and how you maintain your hair???
