Loc care during winter

Taking care of locs goes so much beyond what you put in your hair!!! This winter being my forst year on my own as a college student, navigating asn entirely new environment, I’ve seen how what I eat and how I move my body and care for myself in totality affects my hair. This December I took time to to align my being by taking time each week to take care of me : a true self love day.

Realizing that the oil I had simply wasn;t doing the job for me anymore, I needed something heavier. Black castor oil was too much so I kept looking for something in the middle to keep my hair moisturized without being too heavy or light.

I have to wear my bonnet!!! This is not an option. My hair cannot handle being out and about like it was during the spring and summer months. Especially with the energy of the season calling us to turn inward and hibernate, it makes sense to gift your locs with covering and protection during this time so they may rest and soak in all they have been experiencing throughout the year.

Essentials:
