Are the Curls Ready for the Winter?

WINTER IS HERE!!!

Everyone is getting or is ready for winter.  Coats, gloves, scarves, and hats are out of storage and ready to be used. (Some of you are probably already wearing them).
A lot of people not only change our wardrobe but also change their children's hair routine to properly care for those beautiful curls during the harsh cold weather and winds.
We have purchased a few items for Ms. Bree to wear during the cold days.  Although her school curriculum changes in order to keep the kids indoors, they have to go outside sometime and play.
Here are few items you may want to purchase for the winter months.  (This items can also be used all year around) 

Satin Pillow Case and/or Satin Sleep Cap:


Lavender <em>Satin</em> Pillowcase with Hidden Zipper, Standard Size  Dream Jumbo <em>Satin Sleep Cap</em> - Black
You may find this at your local hair store, Satin Sleep Caps are usual priced $0.99 to $1.99.  A Satin Pillow case are usually priced $2.99 - $3.99, this also can be found at your local hair store or on-line.   NOTE:  Satin caps can also be worn under a regular winter hat, doing so will prevent the winter cap from breaking and drying the little one's hair.
 or BT Cotton Kufi Cap BABY PINK
Crochet Beanie Hats or vented Bands.  I bought them a little big (Teen Size) because I would be putting the sating cap under it.  They come in several colors, I paid around $2.99 each, you can find them at your local hair store or you can find some really cute ones online.

Ms. Bree's washing routine has changed as well as her products. Her routine now includes the following:

<em>Creme of Nature</em> Moisture & Shine Shampoo<em>Creme of Nature</em> Moisture & Shine ShampooCrème of Nature- Argan Oil Shine and Moisture Shampoo. *Product Review Coming Soon*

And thanks to Kandy Land Kurls, we will be adding Castor Oil to our regimen as well.      * I will update our "Washing Routine" Tab very soon.*

It is very important to take the time and care for the curls during the winter, the hair will be amazingly healthy comes Spring!

In a nutshell, these are the things you need to remember: make sure you have a weekly washing routine, do a good deep conditioner, have a good moisturizer at hand, do a lot of protective hairstyles and try not to let the little ones go outside with wet hair.
