3 Ways I Keep My Daughter’s Hair Healthy & Maintain My Sanity

September 28, 2015 by Alisha 7 Comments

If you’ve been following me for a while then you know I’m team #ShortHairDontCare and part of that is because I have 2 daughters with enough hair for a small village.  Thankfully my teenager is at the stage in her life where she is pretty independent and can do her own hair…thank you Sweet Baby Jesus!  But my youngest daughter is 6 and if I left it up to her she’d be sporting one ponytail.every.single.day.  -_-

Both of my girls came out of the womb looking like they had a lace front wig on.  Their hair was so much easier to deal with when they were younger.   Now I don’t know about you, but spending an episode of Jessie doing hair is just no fun.  Luckily Mo will sit still and isn’t too tender-headed, but I the stress of daily hair styling on her hair (and me) were not healthy.  During the summer our go-to hair style is using 8 jumbo braids because we are usually in the pool a lot and it’s easy to co-wash and condition her hair when it’s like that.  But now that school has started I didn’t want to send her to school looking hella crazy every day and I SURE AS HECK didn’t want to have to do her hair each morning.  I am so not about that life.

Hair of the Day – Braided Faux Hawk

October 16, 2012 by Alisha 9 Comments

Hey everyone! I hope that this post finds you all in good health and doing well. Sybil is finally starting to grow up so I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with my hair lately. Some have been fabulous and other…not so pretty! LOL I’ve been participating in Kinky Curly Coily Me Castor oil hair change.  We are in week 7 and my hair has grown a lot!  Check out the pics from our week 5 check in:

Sybil is on the grow!

With Winter on the way, I wanted to also try and find a cute protective style since I can’t very well do wash-n-gos when it’s freezing outside.  One of my good friends cornrowed the sides and back for me and then I played around with it for a while trying to figure out what in the heck I wanted to do with the top.  

Me channeling my inner Janelle Monae – LOL
