Since the weather has turned cold and wet, i’ve noticed that moisture just doesn’t hold in my hair the way it did when it was warmer. Every night i moisturise my hair with my spritz mix and if necessary i seal with my Shea butter mix. If i touch my hair and it feels oily, i only spritz  and then re-distribute the oil already present in my hair. But if i touch my hair and there is very little oil then i will apply some of the Shea butter mix as well.  In warmer weather i would only seal maybe two to three times in the week but during the last week or two i’ve had to butter up nearly everyday as when i touch my hair there’s practically nothing on it. This British weather!

So I feel the time is more than right to change my regime to incorporate more moisture as the weather is a lot less forgiving. So, less cleansing more conditioning and definitely more protective styling.
