Hey y’all! Fall is upon us, and I wanted to share with you four of my must-have items for the changing of the seasons:
the time during the colder months. That leads me to our next must-have item for fall….
2. Hair Accessories: It’s super easy to spice up fall outfits with some fun accessories. I love these two from Forever 21, they’re all kinds of cheap and not hard to find.
Floral Bow Clips– $1.50
Plaited Knit Beanie– $5.50
3. Oil: Oil is a great sealant, and can also be used for scalp massages, deep conditioning treatments, hot oil treatments, and for everyday hair pampering. My favorite is coconut oil, it acts as both a penetrating moisturizer and a sealant. It’s great for any weather, but as it gets colder, it’s going to be important to give your hair some daily lovin’. I like to spritz my hair at night before bed, apply a light coat of coconut or EVOO, and then twist my hair in chunky twists. When I follow this routine regularly, my hair stays moisturized and easier to manage throughout the week.
4. Shampoo: This is a controversial one, but I’m an advocate. Washing my hair every two weeks with a sudsy shampoo gets all the gunk off of my scalp (it’s gross, but real) that co-washing several times a week does not. I use a lot of heavier products (Shea butter, Shea Moisture) and doing water rinses and conditioner washes doesn’t get it all. Your hair needs a thorough cleansing every so often…just make sure not to overdo it, especially if the product is stripping (it leaves your hair with that “squeaky clean” feeling). You can juice up your shampoo by adding conditioner, as described here.
Remember: What works for one head of curls might not work for you, so do and use whatever your hair likes!
What are your fall must-haves? Let me know!

Satin-lined hats (so I don't have to worry about my bonnet not fitting properly under my hat! And, I recently discovered that I am kind of feeling EVOO to seal! I typically use JBCO … but the EVOO leaves my ends feeling lovely too! Other than that, nothing is really changing in my regimen. All my products remain the same and I'll continue to wear quick and easy, low manipulation protective styles 5-6 days a week. However, I am seriously thinking of getting Nubian twists in November. I haven't had braids/twists in ages. I just think they look so cute on others and would make doing my hair even easier on a daily basis (doesn't take me much time to do now, but it'll be even easier with it all twisted up). I think they'll be great for late Fall/Winter and they look great with Winter hats and beanies;)!!

I'll be pulling out my humidifier! I tried this last fall and winter and not only was it good for my hair my skin and nasal passages were well pleased by the use of it also!
A few other things I'll be pulling back out, Shea Butter… Oyin's Juices & Berries… Oh,beanies & tams too
My must-haves are a satin bonnet, cute beret, and avocado oil (it's heavier than coconut and I like a heavier oil during the cooler months).
I like the Qhemet Biologics Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee, but I hear the entire line is swell 🙂 Alot of people like the heavy cream.
I'm interested in trying MYHoneyChild's type 3c and 4a butters. VERY curious to see how those will work. I think I tried the 4a one a while back and didn't like it, but you never know! I hear that they are super rich.
As far as deep conditioners, I love Curl Junkie Moisture Rehab and Jessicurl Too Shea and Weekly Deep Treatment. Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose is also great.
CN: I'm trying to find the right products that will benefit my hair for the colder months. What kind of heavy duty moisturizer and deep conditoner do you use?
