Why Natural Hair Loves Fall

The sky has dimmed to a muted and icy blue, the wind blows a little harder, the air’s a lot more crisp and chilly. Soon the leaves will turn. It’s fall, the season for honeycrisp apples and pumpkin spice everything. For me, it’s also the season of happy, bouncy, yasssss-look-at-these-ringlets hair. I had no idea what awaited me when I left hot, humid weather behind. I traded dewy skin and frizzy hair for dry skin and softer, smoother coils. Why does my natural hair love fall? Why might yours? Let me break it down!
