My Hair History

Okay, so basically the last time my mother cut my hair was when I was 2yrs old. She kept my hair natural most of the time unless there was a special occasion she would relax it then let it transition back to natural. I hated my natural hair not because it was ugly or anything but because it was just soooo damn painful. So when i turned 12 i was given the right to control what happens to my hair and I chose the relaxer route and have never turned back.
However I was young and ignorant really didn't know how to take care of my hair and it used to break so much.
Then i turned 14 and started experimenting with highlights dyes etc and yes, my hair got damaged.
I also used to get cute short bobs and trims to keep my hair shoulder length.
Then finally about 4 years ago in 2012 I decided to start my Healthy Relaxed Hair Journey.

Ways to keep your hair healthy during winter

Hello Beautiful People. Hope you are all well. Someone requested a post on how to keep your hair healthy during winter, so I came up with a few tips to help out...



  1. Deep Condition, Deep Condition, Deep Condition!!!! I do not how to emphasize this point. GUYS DEEP CONDITIONING IS ONE OF THE MAJOR  KEYS TO HAVING HEALTHY HAIR. (If you follow my blog I am sure you have noticed that I always talk about deep conditioning  and someone has asked me to upload a video of me deep conditioning my hair. I will do so next time!)
  2. Protective styling - This is probably the safest way to keep our hair safe, healthy and growing during winter because our hair isn't exposed to the harsh weather conditions. Abuse protective styles during winter: cornrows, braids, weaves (GO CRAZY!), but also let your hair and scalp breathe in between styles. 2-3 days with loose hair won't do much damage.  
  3. Moisturize your hair and scalp more often - Its important to keep a healthy scalp. Moisturizing your scalp every other day is a good idea. (I suck at this :(  ) 
  4. Avoid coloring/dying your hair in winter Dye generally dries out our hair and dry hair is the worst because it breaks easily. Dry hair + Winter = Worst Combination,therefore dying your hair during winter is a very very bad idea (I am generally against coloring hair but at some point I used to love it so I totally understand the obsession with hair dyes. I'll post some tips on how to keep your dyed hair healthy soon)
  5. Do not over wash your hair - Shampooing our hair strips it of oils leaving it dry. So it is advisable not to wash your hair frequently. Washing your hair once or twice a week is okay during winter.
  6. Headscarves and woolen hats - these are our besties during winter because they keep our hair covered and warm during winter. I also love these cause they are very stylish moment and ideal for those lazy days.
  7. Cover your hair at night - Temperatures generally drop at night so we need to keep our hair warm. Covering your hair with 2 headscarves is a good idea. (I really really need to do this )  
I am sure after reading this you have realized that it is important to keep our  hair moisturized at all times especially during winter.Thank you for visiting my page hope these tips help you out.
