As winter rolls in, so does the need to switch up our hair routines. Cold air and lack of humidity means dryness, breakage, and frizz. For Black hair, which thrives on moisture the right winter hairstyles and winter haircare can make all the difference. In this post we'll share how to keep your hair healthy during the winter season and fresh, fabulous hairstyles that look stunning all season.
Winter Hair Care For Black Hair
For Black hair, moisture is essential. In the colder months the air is cooler and drier which is bad news for your hair as it also causes drier hair. Therefore, during these months it's vital to keep your hair moisturised. Use a lightweight oil to moisturise your scalp and a leave-in conditioner to moisturise your ends and also deep condition regularly.

Protective styles are a must in winter. Styles like braids, twists, locs, and wigs minimise manipulation and keep delicate ends tucked away, reducing damage caused by the cold weather. A cosy, stylish beanie also becomes a winter essential -it's the perfect accessory to top off protective hairstyles while shielding your hair from the elements. Here are some easy and chic ways to pair beanies with different hairstyles for Black hair:
