Comrades, As a Southern African dweller it is with the utmost regret that I inform you that winter is not only coming, but is in fact here. Unlike in cities like Harare, Lusaka and Maputo; where winter predominately happens between the hours of 6:00pm & 6:00am (and doesn’t involve anyone wearing coats), winter in my adopted city of Johannesburg is a more menacing beast that involves single digit temperatures, skin cracking levels  of dryness and sometimes snow *shudders*. What this means for us, my natural haired sisters? It means that should modify our hair regime and employ alternative strategies to our hair care, that I will share in this post. A luta continua, Major-General VimfromZim, Your Sister in the Natural Hair Trenches
