1. Does your hair growth slow during winter months? YES!

2. Are there any other changes in your hairs' condition? A bit dryer, more prone to static.

3. Do you need to change your hair care routines for winter? I wash less frequently.

4. Have you noticed difference in your hair color? My hair gets much darker in the winter.

5. Do you use hair products that are specially designed for "winter hair"? If yes, what products?  No, my usual products work fine.

6. Do you cover your hair when you go outside? If yes,
what kind of covering do you prefer? Yes, I have a flannel/polar fleece hood/scarf that I made that works well over buns with hairsticks.

7. How do you like to style your hair when you're wearing sweaters, hats and other winter clothes?
My hair is up when I wear turtlenecks, wool sweaters, or polarfleece (anything that hair catches on).  If down when wearing a jacket, I prefer it to be braided so that it is more protected from the jacket and friction.

8. Is your hair easier to keep healthy during winter or summer? SUMMER!  Winter jackets, and clothing are really tough on hair.

I love your polls, G.


I've heard that it does usually, not really sure if mine has.  Of course growing out layers makes it seem like it's slow growing.

Seems dryer.

I just began CWC in January


My roots are a bit darker.

Nope.

I live in the desert, so unless I'm having a bad/lazy hair day-no.

If I do wear a hat, I pull up the front into a half pony or full pony with a baseball cap.  I recently tried a beanie with dual braids, but my stupid layers poked out.  It will be totally cute as soon as those layers are gone!!


I've really just started keeping track, but I guess I'd say summer.  My hair airdrys faster then so I think that makes it easier for me.

My two cents:  to decrease problems with static, drink more water.  Lots more water.  A humidifier in the house can also help.  I prefer a warm air one to a cold one.

1. Does your hair growth slow during winter months? I've never measured, so I can't say I know for sure.

2. Are there any other changes in your hairs' condition? It's drier, more static cling.

3. Do you need to change your hair care routines for winter? I need to use deep-conditioning treatments more often.

4. Have you noticed difference in your hair color? Yes.  The hair underneath (around the nape of my neck) is usually darker because it gets less sun exposure, but it gets really dark in winter months.

5. Do you use hair products that are specially designed for "winter hair"? If yes, what products? No, I can't recall ever seeing "winter hair" products.  Though I have seen "holiday scented" shampoos.  But, I'm not too fond of berry/cinamon concoctions, so I've never tried them.

6. Do you cover your hair when you go outside? If yes,
what kind of covering do you prefer?  It depends.  If my hair is in a really fragile updo, then I'll forgo a covering, but most of the time I wrap a silk scarf (a la Audrey Hepburn) around my head and 'do.  I'm slowing emassing a nice collection of silk scarves this way.

7. How do you like to style your hair when you're wearing sweaters, hats and other winter clothes? Most of the time I keep my hair up, just to keep it out of the way of wooly sweaters and friction.  But I can't resist wearing my hair down when angora is involved... *grins*

8. Is your hair easier to keep healthy during winter or summer? Actually, it's winter for me.  In the summer, I'm constantly worried about too much sun exposure; hair and my fair skin cause a double-edged sword when event planning.  At least in winter I'm just trying to keep it from getting too dry, and the summer, well, it's a constant worry that between the UV rays and pool chemicals it might get fried.
