Hot Mess Hair In The COLD!

Whewww!  My hair was gonna go on strike soon if I didn't give it some TLC immediately!  My scheduled Henna/Alma treatment didn't happen.  I was feeling crappy with a cold, not to mention the single digit temperatures and the howling winds outside the past few days (and into the week and coming weekend, I hear).  I have not co-washed and detangled since Christmas Eve and my hair has rewarded me by becoming a dry, matted, hot mess!  So today after a through wetting, I packed on the Herbal Essence - Hello Hydration conditioner and detangled.  Luck for me, my hair detangles pretty easily once wet and has condish on, so it took not time to comb through. 

 It is far too cold to expose my  wet tresses to this extreme cold air, and since I have to go out, I opted for a moisturising deep conditioner bake overnight and rinse in the morning.  I reached for the Aubrey's Rosa Mosqueta Conditioner.  Rosa mosqueta is rose hip by any other name. Whatever, you want to call it, the seeds are high in (fatty) linoleic and linolenic acids as well as Vitamin C, all of which are essential for the health of the hair and skin. Flavonoids, a ketonic compound (namely 3-pentenpropyl-kentoe) and trans-rhodanic acids have been detected. In fact, rosehip seeds are about 77% fatty acids.  This should put my stressed out tresses back to a normal state!
