Weather change=Hair change

So today I ran my fingers through my hair...ok pause, I can't run my fingers through my hair because it's an afro as you can see in the pic below, but I think you get what I'm saying. Ok resume :-) So I noticed it was a tad dry and not as shiny and it dawned on me that it's officially FALL! I know it's silly that my hair versus the leaves on the ground reminded me, but at least I know right? So with weather changes comes a few changes to your hair. During the cooler months our hair usually lacks moisture, which means our tresses should get a little more of our attention. For those of you who have a stylist (if not you can contact me, lol) be sure that you are getting deep conditioning treatments at minimum every 2 weeks and if your hair is really dry you can do it once a week for the first 4 weeks then follow the every 2 week plan. Redken offers the Chemistry shot which is amazing for all hair types. It is a conditioning treatment that can be customized to your hair's condition. For example, if your hair is dry and color treated there is a conditioning formula for that as well. Or if it's color treated and porous, dry and fine and frizzy...bottom line is, you'll be covered. Anasazi is a great line of hair products as well. They offer a professional hair mask that has always served me great hair justice! But keep in mind folks that these are professional products so your local drug store and/or beauty supply will not carry them; you will need to go see a professional stylist.

For those of you who like to try natural things and your lacking shine I have a little recipe for you. If you mix 1/2 cup of honey and 1/4 a cup of olive oil, leave it on for 15 mins with a plastic shower cap and preferably under a dryer or you can blow dry it yourself (leave it on for 30 mins if you do not have a dryer), then rinse. You will be left with a nice head of shiny hair! If your hair is fine and/or limp I wouldn't suggest that you try this formula because it will cause your hair to be weighed down. A dime size amount of shine serum would work great.
