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

by 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.

Review: Bee Mine Deja’s Hair Milk

by 19 Comments

Hey Curlfriends!  It’s amazing all of the different types of products out there to deal with hair.  It’s enough to send a product junkie into a conniption!  For anyone that is newly natural, one of the biggest obstacles that you will face is which products will work best for YOUR hair type.  I’m not one to try and base everything on a chart, but a lot of times not all hair products are created equally.  The picture below is a good example of the different types of hair:

A few months ago I had the pleasure of working with Tawanna of All Things Curly.  She was such a pleasure to work with and helped me find a great product to style my youngest daughter’s hair.  Morgan has several textures throughout her hair and she ranges from a 2b-3a.  Tawanna suggested that we try Bee Mine Deja’s Hair Milk.  The texture is nice and light (like a body lotion) and has a very pleasant scent.

 I washed Morgan’s hair then applied Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner throughout her hair.  Once I detangled her hair I parted it into 4 sections then applied about a quarter size of the hair milk in each section.  I then took my Denman brush and brushed to work it through.  As I was doing her hair, I also rewet lightly with my spray bottle since then made it easier to apply the product and brush her hair.  The results were great and her hair was nice and shiny but not greasy.  I’ve tried this product in my hair and it was definitely a no-go for me.  I would say that this works better for the 2-3s.  My hair (4a-4c) requires more moisture and a heavier creamy type product.  Check out the awesome results she got.
 
So how do you style your little diva’s hair?  I’m so tired of doing 1-2 ponytails or just slapping a head band on her head.  Feel free to share your favorite and easy styles.
