My hair had been very dry and brittle due to the winter weather, and I had tried everything from hot oils, to cholesterol, to mayonnaise, to reconstructive therapies. None of it was helping, and since I blow dry and flat iron my hair, I really needed some help. I bought the entire line of Hydrate products from Shielo Hair Care (Hydrate Shampoo, Hydrate Conditioner and Hydrate Sealing Mist), and with JUST ONE USE ends are no longer frizzy and dry, and my hair is silky. The Hydrate Sealing Mist is very light, so it doesn’t leave your hair feeling greasy.

I am a believer of these products, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has dry damaged hair!!!

Well dang! Where in the world have I been? The original post for this was nearly 2 years ago. My bad…oh well…better late than never. Another note I drn’t worry about dry hair or dry skin during this season because I don’t have either die to my mixtures.

Welcome to the Midwest! Having lived here in the Midwest all my life & been natural for over 8 years now. Here’s what I’ve done. Any hat I have, I’ve sewn in a silk lining into it. You can get remnants 50% off & use a coupon @JoAnn Fabrics. Tons of protective styling…buns, wigs, my favorite is to braid/twist my hair into about 16-20 braids/twists then pin them up. It is a very neat and nice look. I get a boat load of compliments on that style. Never ever neglect your weekly deep conditioning. Water is still the hair’s bestfriend but, I usually only wet it at night so I am not going to work with a wet head. My sealant is macadamia nut oil &/or REAL avocado oil (Whole Foods in the cooking section near produce) & my butter mixture (forgive me if I spell them incorrectly…shea, cocoa, mango, cucua & avocado butters all together with the oils previously mentioned along with coconut oil). Expensive, yes, but it lasts me all Fall/Winter well into the Spring close to Summer and I use it for my body too. HTH.

I have used Herbal Essense Totally Twisted for a few years, and I like it. I have been using the new Pantene with Cassia, it seems to be working really well. I have lived in Iowa and Chicago, and I find that, during the winter, I deep condition with a mix of olive oil, grapeseed oil, and sweet almond oil. For daily styling, I either use Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme or an aloe-based gel, applied after conditioning in the shower. I wear beret-style hats a lot so that my hair is not completely flattened by hats!

Thank u for the informative post!!
what if the humectant is at the very end of the ingredient list? my favorite conditioner has glycerin in it but it’s the second to last ingredient, so i wonder if it is still appropriate to use for winter? Anybody know?
peace and blessings
