Walks in the fresh snow, hot drinks on cold days, or snuggling up with a blanket and cocoa in front of the TV – winter can be so beautiful! But the cold season also brings some challenges for your curls. The dry air, especially from heaters, quickly dries out your curls and makes them prone to frizz.

In this blog, I'll show you how to keep your curls healthy and shiny even in the cold season. With these simple tips, you'll enjoy winter with gorgeous curls!

Right now, your curls are craving: moisture, moisture, and more moisture!

One of the most important things for your curly crown in the cold months is – you guessed it – moisture! To protect your hair from drying out, you should treat it once a week with a moisturizing mask. Yes, we know, a hair mask takes time, and you don't always have that. But you should really treat yourself to these 20 minutes; it's worth it, we promise!
To further enhance the effect of the moisturizing mask, I recommend the Hot Head Cap. This cap, made from natural materials and handmade, can be easily heated in the oven or microwave, and then you can put it over your curly crown with your mask on. The heat development under the cap opens the hair cuticles, allowing the treatment to penetrate your curls better and, above all, deeper. Plus, you'll love the pleasantly warm feeling.

Some favorite masks for smooth, hydrated curls include:

• The Inahsi Restorative Hair Mask is the perfect choice for your curls as the cold season approaches. It intensively moisturizes your curls and repairs them deeply. Especially in winter, when dry heating air and cold weather put a strain on your curls, this mask helps to protect them from further damage and maintain their natural strength.
• The Curly Secret Repairing Hair Mask is a real savior for your curls in winter. Not only does it repair damaged strands, it also provides an extra dose of moisture to nourish your curls through the cold season. Its rich formula makes your curls wonderfully supple and helps to combat winter dryness and frizz.
• The Curly Love Ultra Hydrating Mask is exactly what your curls need in winter! It deeply moisturizes and ensures that your curls stay smooth and shiny even in cold weather. This mask helps to minimize moisture loss due to dry winter air and protects your curls from frizz and dehydration.

This is just a small selection, of course there are many more masks that care for your curls to discover on lockenkopf , each has its strengths and cares for the hair.   

Co-Washing for radiant curls

Especially in the cold winter months, so-called co-washing products are ideal for your kinky and coily curls. This method helps your curls and scalp to lose less moisture and at the same time they feel nourished and smooth, because the co-wash method is specially designed to turn frizzy wool back into beautiful curls.

We have selected some of our favorite products for you:

• Activilong | Co-Wash Actiforce
  The herbal ingredients provide your curly crown with more moisture and help to prevent knots.
• Activilong | Co-Wash Acticurl
  Slightly lighter than the Actiforce Co-Wash, well suited for finer hair or wavy curls that can't handle so much product weight.
  
• Afro Love | Wash & Love Cleansing Crème The Co-Wash from Afro Love cleanses, conditions and detangles your curls in one wash.

Natural products for your curly crown

To counteract the dry heating air and dry hair, your hair needs a lot of moisture. But you should never forget to give your curls only the best. Whenever possible, avoid artificial, chemical ingredients and pamper your curly mane with natural oils and products. We also value naturalness, which is why you will find an incredible number of products in our boutique that are based on natural ingredients.
If that's not enough for you, then browse our department of vegan products: there's guaranteed to be nothing in there that doesn't belong.

Easy curly hair care for every day

Did you know that even simple tricks can help you wear your curly crown with pride in the cold season? For example, while wool hats are nice and warm and very popular in winter, your curls won't be happy about them. Instead, try a hat made of velvet or silk. They put much less strain on your hair and minimize tangling.
Also, a mixture of normal water and a few drops of your favorite product, such as a natural hair oil from our range, will help your curly crown shine even on the days after your care ritual.
And so that you can take your self-created miracle cure with you everywhere and still look super chic, we have designed the perfect spray bottle for you.

So my dears, that's it from me about curly hair care in winter. I will try to write more again and hopefully help you on your curly journey.

Until then,

very warmly,
