What's In My Fall Hair Care Stash?

  What’s in My Fall Hair-Care Stash? What I’m Keeping, What I’m Tossing & What I’m Not Buying Again! Years ago, I wrote a post here on Crowning Glory Coils and Kinks called “Getting Rid of My Product Stash.” And when I look back at that picture of all those products, I have to laugh. Because honey... I had enough products to open a small beauty supply store!   Shampoos. Conditioners. Curl creams. Butters. Gels. Oils. Puddings. Custards. Milks. Smoothies.

But after years of wearing and learning my natural hair, I've discovered something important: More products don't necessarily mean healthier hair. So as we transition into fall, instead of running out to buy another collection, I'm doing something different. I'm shopping my own stash first.

  Week 1 — From Summer Curls to Fall Coils Preparing 3C–4C Natural Hair for the Change of Season There’s something about the changing of the seasons that makes me want to take inventory. We change our clothes.  We put away some of our summer favorites.  We pull out the sweaters, boots, scarves, and deeper fall colors. But what about our hair? Our natural hair goes through seasonal transitions too.  The routine that worked beautifully during the hot, humid days of summer may need a little tweaking as we move into the cooler, drier days of fall. And if you have followed Crowning Glory Coils and Kinks for a while, you may remember that I have had my share of adventures with natural hair—and yes, quite a few adventures with hair products too!  I went natural in 2010, and one thing I have learned is this: Natural hair is not something you master once and never have to think about again. Our hair changes. Our lifestyles change. The seasons change.  And as we mat...
