How can I survive winter with my curly hair in Germany?

As soon as you got this title, you immediately felt concerned by this issue. Cold and weather in Germany. Last year, we illustrated this on our Instagram account and caused quite a stir on social media! Let’s come up with some more solid arguments!

  2. Protection: that’s my motto.
  3. Hair care: a typical winter hair routine

Acceptance: My curls may have less bounce

For people going through  hair transition  This is one of the most complicated times of the year, because our hair just doesn’t do what it wants (ah ah, to say the least!).

Winter in Germany for textured hair - not easy task!

Depending on where you live in Germany, several factors can have a negative impact on the quality of your curls. In our funny Instagram video, we list some categories of things you need to know to better protect your curls:

  • Hard water (especially in northern and Eastern Germany)
  • Low temperatures
  • The difficulty of finding good hairdressers specializing in curly hair
  • Find the right hair care products for each season.

You live with that curly hair in Germany:

Protection: that's my motto

Protection is your secret tool against unpleasant surprises. It protects you from the outside world, and also when you’re sleeping.

The 2 most vulnerable times for our curls are outdoors and when we sleep! We underestimate our nocturnal activity! Our bodies sweat, move and create friction on our lengths. The choice of certain materials such as cotton can increase the risk of moisture loss in our cuticles.

So what’s the practical solution?

Pre-bedtime care: don't miss this step!

There’s no mystery to it! If your hair has suffered from the cold all day, it’s time to take care of it before bedtime! Choose nourishing hair oilsnot too thick.

You can apply them or create your own blend to strengthen hair growth and protect lengths from breakage. Not sure which oil to use? Check out the Sanganni to choose from:

Hair Oil Selection

Capillary accessories selection

Your choice of style and accessories will have a huge impact on the hold of your curls in the lift.

Slippery materials on your textured hair

Satin, silk: these materials don’t strip your hair of its moisture and care. You can find them in all shapes and sizes: bonnets, scrunchies or pillowcases.

Our partner Kacovaoffers all versions.

Advice from Inès:  I had a really hard time finding my accessory. So I alternate depending on my mood! Scrunchies to protect the lengths or a cap that’s just as practical when it’s freezing, keeping your head warm in bed! “

A protective hairstyle

You can tie your hair into pineapples or buns to protect the lengths after applying hair oil to the lengths. Alternatively, you can make twists to create your curls before bedtime.

Leila’s advice: For my part, I do a single braid on my wavy hair. The next day, my hair had beautiful, ready waves! If necessary, I fix with a little aloe vera gel.

Hair care: a typical winter hair routine

Sanganni-routine-de-soin

Create a special winter hair routine. The cold weather is here, so we might as well opt for nourishing, protein-rich treatments that will coat our hair’s structure from the inside out!

1. An oil bath or nourishing mask

To better protect your hair’s inner layers, you can start with a highly nourishing treatment that can be left on overnight or for a minimum of 30 minutes under a heated cap or warm towel.

Àonce a month (oil bath) or once every 2 weeks (highly nourishing mask).

2. Purifying or detoxifying shampoo

To remove excess mask and cleanse your scalp, you can choose this type of cleanser. Depending on how porous you are, try to space your hair washes as far apart as possible, so as not to weaken your skin’s balance.

3. Conditioner to close the hair scales

The last important step before styling is to protect your lengths as much as possible, especially during the autumn/winter period. Conditioner closes the scales to retain all the nutrients provided by the hair mask. By choosing the right product for your curl type(s), they stay soft and shiny after rinsing.

4. Styling products to protect against the cold

Avoid leaving your hair damp. Put a few drops of oil on the lengths or ends. You can also use a hair dryer, but with a diffuser and in moderation to avoid heat damage.
