Changing Seasons: Rocking My Locs Plus Fall/Winter Care

 

20171004_190440As the seasons change, so are the needs of your dreadlocks. When the fall or winter season comes around, you may notice that your skin will look much more drier, which means that you have to have special products to replenish the natural moisture back into your skin. Well, your dreadlocks will require special care, too during the cold winter months.

Fall/winter care for dreadlocks require more than just pampering your hair. It also means that your scalp will need proper care as well. It is common for some people to experience dry, flaky scalp during the winter months. Learning to care for  your dreads during these upcoming seasons will preserve the beauty of your locs.

Oils for Locs During Fall and Winter

Using the right oils for your locs can make a huge difference in the overall health and appearance of your hair. You really have to keep replenishing the moisture in your hair, making sure to use the right oils to lock in the moisture in each strand of loc.

Creating and Sticking to a Dreadlocks Regimen in the Fall

As the brutally cold winter months approach, come up with a plan that works for your hair type. You may need to change to hair products that are more geared towards the fall or winter season. A customized fall haircare routine will help to prevent brittle and frizzy hair. One of the most recommended tips to keep your hair bouncy and alive during the fall is to moisturize your hair.

Remember how much work you had to put in to get your dreads to the stage where they are now. Neglecting to take care of them during the winter, will have a devastating effect on them if they are not protected during these colder months.

Fall/Winter Headwraps for Your Locs

Headwraps come in a wide array of colors and designs, and are great to cover your hair in the cold months. However, if you don’t want to be left with lint stuck in your dreads, you should choose a lint-free headwrap to cover your locs. This will prevent loose lint from getting trapped between the strands of your locs, and eventually become difficult to take out.

Winter Care Protective Styles

Wearing protective styles is the way to go if you want to keep your locs soft and beautiful during the fall and winter months. This is especially important before going to sleep at nights. You want to ensure that you don’t lose moisture as well as cause hair breakage.

Nighttime Winter Sleep Care

Covering your locs before going to bed, is also recommended to keep your hair moisturized during the winter. The cold windy days can leave your hair crying for  moisture, so moisturize and lock it in for ultimate daytime protection.
