My hair is not looking or feeling good with the change in seasons from cold dry winter to spring. Compared to a month ago, it is dry, frizzing, and tangling way more. It's also more flat on top and way less shiny. My waves/wurlies have lacked definition since it started to warm up. It does not feel smooth or soft either, it feels "crimped" and almost coarse.
I haven't changed anything about my routine. I S&C with Nature's Gate fruit organics. If I'm going to wear it down, I plop using a clear gel with a few drops of jojoba added. If I'm going to wear it up, I use a little coconut oil loosened up with jojoba. In the dead of winter I was heavy oiling more often, but now it makes me break out. I also like Shea mixed w/ coconut and/or jojoba or just by itself.
Can anybody recommend a treatment I should try, other than SMT- my hair isn't a fan of that (it gets flat and there are always chunks that take several washes to release). Would I want to try more protein? I never consciously clarify, though once in a while I'll shower somewhere other than home and have to use a harsher sulfate poo. Should I try to clarify? How do you do that?
Is anyone else having a tough time with the change in seasons? My apologies for the rant and venting. And thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
