Dry Heat = Dry Hair

Now with the weather cooling down the heat will be cranking up, but with that comes dry heat. For some reason apartments seem to have the worst possible heating and it drys everything out from your skin, lips, nails, feet, hands, and of course your hair! Last year I got a humidifier to help with my lips and chronic sore throat due to dry air, but I realized it actually does work to help keep your hair moist as well as everything else. Since I mostly use my pillowcap instead of tying my hair up the moist air can actually get to my hair now and I think it's helping with the moisture level in my hair as well as my lips, throat, and skin.

Coconut Uses for Hair

I love coconut oil for my hair.  When I first started my quest to obtaining healthy looking hair coconut oil was one of the first oils I came across and it hasn't been failed me yet.  I know a lot of people don't exactly share my love for coconut oil but that's okay it's still number 1 in my heart. 

Here are my top 3 ways I use coconut oil in my hair:

1.  Alone as a shine booster. 
2.  Mixed into a deep conditioner for an extra added boost of moisture and shine
3.  Alone as a pre-shampoo treatment, usually with a little added steam.

Humidifier & Hair Care

I finally got a humidifier.  I did not buy the humidifier for my hair, if that's what you were thinking, I purchased it because the heat in my apartment is very drying.  So drying that I would wake up in the middle of the night with terribly dry nares, dry lips, and a dry throat, can you imagine?  My skin didn't feel dry, but just about everything else did.  Once I got my humidifier I placed it in my bedroom and I've been running it whenever I sleep, the dry nose, lips, and throat are a thing of the past and I'm sleeping way better. 

Feeling kind of creative, I decided to check around and see if there are any other uses for my humidifier (read: can I use it to amp up any of my beauty treatments).  Here is what I found:

Humifidiers can help rid your hair of static because it feeds the air moisture and in turn the moisture gets to your hair. 

I have a hard time thinking it would really help my hair especially since I sleep with a scarf covering my hair, but maybe I will see a difference in my skin.  If anything I'll be sure to let you know. 

Note: The photo is the exact one that I have, it has a cool mist and warm mist option.  I've been using the warm mist option.  It's a Venta Sonic.
