This past month, the Harmattan season came through in a big way with its characteristic low to zero humidity.
I steamed, deep conditioned and moisturized almost endlessly, yet the dryness persisted.
I finally gave up and put my hair in a protective style – twisted my own hair and then packed it up in an updo that hid my ends.
How did/do you survive the Harmattan?

i got a weave. I still remember to sprirz my hair, but my ends were really upset. So I put em in a weave till a better idea comes along.
Harmattan will soon be over and things can go back to normal

Ahhh NN, if harmattan dealt with somebody’s hair this season, that person is me. I lost hair so bad that I almost cried. Serious o. Imagine trying to use about 30 minutes to try to detangle just one twist because the harmattan had made my ends knot up like crazy. I was so so frustrated that I just went to put my hair in kinky braids the next day. Kpschewwww.
Kpele. I actually had to cut off some hair because the tangles were so bad. I guess we have all learnt our lessons for the next harmattan season. Before it hits, we just go and get protective styles…
i like that, ‘protective hair styles!
Hi NN, i just cut my hair and i am tired ! yes!
am now guessing its the harmattan.
My hair is always hard no matter what i do( i do not do much) smiles
sea butter helps but not so much
can you make a moisturizing spritz for me and ship to me
(am kneeling down)
and the vegetable glycerin, how do i benefit from it and what mixtures do you suggest?
Y’all should come to Abuja it’s worse….and deep conditioning is not fun….well shea butter helps a whole alot believe me….
just ordered some stuff from your ahia thanks to respond
pls, how do u twist ur own hair???? it looks so nice, i wanna do it too.
I’m loving the harmattan! But I’m protective-styling anyway so my hair was already in yarn locs, that’s not to say my roots/scalp doesn’t get dry. It does, so I moisturise my scalp/roots everyday with my liquid-based moisturiser and I’m good to go.
