Let Mommy Do Your Hair

“Let mommy do your hair.” We’ve probably been told this phrase at some point in our lives or we tell it to our little ones daily.  Or at least once a week.  Luckily for me I was taught how to braid, twist and do our hair at a young age so it’s natural for me to impart the knowledge and style upon my own kiddos’ crowns.

I follow a hair ritual of using products that are natural and/or gentle to our hair. 
​My favorite products are:
-Creme of Nature Detangling Shampoo 
-Pantene ProV Shampoo and Conditioner
-Natural Black Soap
-Free to Swim Hair Cream and Oil Spray
​-Spray bottle of water

I use up to 5 different combs:
A rat tail to part
A long tooth comb
A wide tooth
​A regular size and thin tooth comb
My ritual consists of washing their hair with either said shampoo and conditioner and doing a vinegar and lemon rinse to soften and detangle their hair.

After rinsing conditioner, I part their hair into sections and comb it out with a cream moisturizer because it makes the task of doing their whole head easier to manage. For further manageability, I blow out their hair with a Yellowbird Conair blow dryer with a comb. It lengthens the coils and makes it easier to comb. After that, I braid their hair into a style that can last up to two weeks or longer if they sleep with the ubiquitous scarf that keeps strands in place over night.

I love the fact that our children embrace the importance of maintaining healthy, natural hair.  They know that their hair grows tall, long, kinky, curly and “different” from others so might as well learn how to do it, enjoy it’s unique versatility or just come over here and let mommy do your hair. With Love.
