6 Holy Grail Tips to Keep Your Curls Healthy + Protected ALL Winter Long

As the winter chill sets in, our curls need extra TLC to combat the dryness that comes with the season. Hey there, #FlourishFam! Let's talk about embracing the winter wonderland while keeping our curls radiant and healthy during the chillier times of the year. ❄️🌀

Winter's low humidity and cold air can leave our curls feeling parched and prone to breakage. But fear not! With a few mindful routines, we can maintain those luscious locks even in the frostiest weather.

1. Hydration, Inside Out: Sip that water! Hydrating from within is key to combating the dryness that winter brings. It's the ultimate elixir for your curls, keeping them moisturized from root to tip.

2. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize: Swap lightweight products for richer, more hydrating ones. Think leave-in conditioners, butters and oils. These will be your best pals to lock in moisture and keep those curls soft and supple. At Flourish by Sage, we offer a 3 in 1 LOC (Leave in Conditioner, Oil, & Cream) method Hair Soufflé crafted especially for the wide spectrum of hair types. The "So Wavy" Hair Soufflé is our lightest hold. The "Curl Power" Hair Soufflé is our mid-range hold. Finally, our "Lovely Kinks" Hair Soufflé is our heaviest hold! Try moving up to the next heaviest product during the winter for a stronger hold, super soft curls, and SUPER moisturized hair + scalp.

3. Protective Styling: Consider protective styles like braids or twists to shield your curls from harsh weather conditions. This also helps in reducing manipulation, preventing breakage, and aiding moisture retention.

4. Gentle Cleansing: Reduce shampooing frequency to prevent stripping your hair of its natural oils. Opt for sulfate-free and moisturizing shampoos to gently cleanse without drying out your curls.

5. Seal in the Goodness: After moisturizing, seal in that hydration with oils or butters. This creates a protective barrier, locking in moisture and preventing your curls from becoming dry and brittle.

6. Satin Love: Swap out those cotton pillowcases for satin or silk ones. This reduces friction, helping retain moisture and preventing frizz.

Remember, winter doesn't mean "bye" to healthy curls! It's all about adjusting our hair care routine to suit the season. So, Flourish Fam, let's keep those curls flourishing even in the frostiest months. Winter is a time for cozying up, and our curls deserve that extra dose of love and care! ✨🧊🌀 #WinterCurls #HealthyHairCare
