By: Lauryn Bass
It’s chilly season! Autumn is now upon us and it’s time to make sure that the only thing that won’t be giving you a scare, is your hair! With the cooler temperatures rolling in, it’s time to prep, pamper, and protect your curls! Here are a few tips to follow for the fall, the 3 P’s!
Prep!
The colder seasons can dry out your follicles which could result in split ends and breakage! To avoid this battle, you need to equip your hair with all the moisture it needs. Protein-based hair masques and hot-oil/keratin treatments are the way to go! These will boost your hair for lower temperatures!
Pamper!
Don’t be afraid to overdo-it with the love! Show your curls all the care that they deserve! Add some color to your look for the fall weather, dye your hair with orange, sunset colors. Get golden highlights to add a bronzer touch to your life. Try out new twist outs, new rollers, refresh your look with the hair-paint wax! Even try cutting it! Adding a new and exciting touch to your fro will get you excited to take more care of it.
Protect!
With Prep and Pamper in mind, be sure to remember that certain things will aid the cold to try to damage your hair. Avoid heat; excessive heat is never going to end well for your hair. Try protective styling the hair with twists, braids, head-scarves, crochet styles, wigs, anything that will give your hair some time to relax and grow. Remember to use bonnets or satin pillowcases to bed as well!
While preparing, pampering, and protecting your hair, Autumn is sure to be an entertaining and fun time of the year! Enjoy the fall season with your hair blowing in the wind, happy, healthy, and free!
