There are many things to love about winter, like snow, warm hats and hot cocoa. If you have curly hair, you might not be loving the frizz that winter brings. Colder air has less of the essential moisture curls need to maintain their shape and have less frizz. Exposure to cold air can dry curls out, leaving them brittle and more prone to breakage. While you most likely have a curl care regime in place, it might be time for a rescue plan to keep your curls healthy throughout the cold winter months.
