My Daughters Hair Care Regimen :UPDATE:

(pony puffs with curls brushed out)



Hello Beauties!!! I know alot of you have been requesting an updated regimen on my baby girls hair care regimen, so its finally here. Sorry it took me so long to post! This is everything i use on her hair, of course she is natural, and she will always remain a natural for the people that ask me =) ....BTW she is 2 years old.

My daughters hair texture is very very soft, I'm not sure what type she is, but i believe she is around a 3a or 3b.


These products pictured above are the products that i use to wash her hair with. I wash her hair 1x a week with the Argan Shampoo, then i condition it with the Argan conditioner. I use the olive oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo about every 6-7 weeks to remove build-up. I also use the Argan Oil on her hair after i moisturize. These products can be purchased from Sallys. Also, i cowash her hair 1x a week with a conditioner of choice.


The picture above are the other staple products in her regimen that works wonders on her hair. The Hawaiian Silky is an AMAZING MOISTURIZER on her natural curly hair. This is by far the best moisturizer i have ever found for her hair texture. This moisturizer keeps her curls so defined, soft, and shiny. I also love this product when i put pony tails in her hair.

After i apply the moisturizer, if I'm Not using the Argan Oil, i seal her hair with coconut oil. LOVE coconut oil. The Vital Serum i also use from time to time, just depending on what style I'm going for. The iC styling gel i use on her edges to lay her baby hair down, i use this mainly for her 2 ponytail styles, to keep her hair down in the front (also this gel contains NO ALCOHOL and doesn't Flake)...you know 2 year old girls love to mess their hair up lol =)

Also the brushes i use on her locks are the Tangle TEEZER, Denman Brush and a wide tooth comb (not pictured). My favorite brush however is the the Tangle Teezer, its more gentle on her hair IMO.

*H.Silky, TT, DB are from Sallys
*Coconut oil from Walmart (pure coconut oil)
*iC gel from Target
*Vital Serum could be found at any local BSS




This is a picture of her hair in pony twist =)

Childrens Hair Care...How To


Hey Beauties! So i get tons of questions on how i care for my daughters hair and i wanted to share with you ladies who are mothers or who knows ladies with children what i have learned. I'm going to tell you what i do and what you shouldn't do to your children's hair. I'm also going to share with you a few sites for children's hair styles as well =)

First thing to remember is be gentle with your daughters hair and don't over do it. You don't want styles that's too tight, this will not only be uncomfortable but it will break her hair off. Also you don't want to over do chemicals if your relaxing or put too much HEAT (THIS IS MAJOR).

STYLES

You want your little girl to look beautiful of course but remember they are children, so keep it fun for them. I have three sites for you ladies to check out, I'm sure you will find tons of styles to try out on your princess. Remember don't do anything too tight!!!







HEAT & CHEMICALS

Heat, Heat, HEAT!!! Please do not over do it on heat on your children's hair!! I cant stress this enough. Too much heat WILL CAUSE HEAT DAMAGE, resulting in dry brittle breaking hair. You wont see any length retained either =( ... what little girl doesn't want long hair?

Relaxers, my baby girl doesn't have one (still a baby), alot of people ask me will i ever relaxer her hair....No, i wont. But for the mothers who decided to relax their daughters hair please keep up with their relaxed hair. After you relax your hair, your hair is even more fragile and needs alot of care to prevent damaged hair. Just like your hair, you don't want to overlap relaxers. A good time frame to relax is between 10+ weeks. And you should ONLY relax NEW GROWTH  not the whole head from root to tip!  And make sure you keep her hair and ends moisturized and sealed!!!!!

SIMPLE HAIR CARE TIPS

1. Cut the heat down or out. Heat 1x a wk is too much, even every 2 wks is too much! Try to limit it to 1x a month, i guarantee if you do you will see a MAJOR difference in her hair (she will thank you for it). If you decide to use heat, use a HEAT PROTECTANT!!!!

2. Don't put her hair in tight hair styles, give her a style that is gentle and cute. If you are doing pony tails, rotate the pony tails to prevent stress on the hair. Also give her styles to protect her ends, like cute little buns and add a pretty flower for style.

3. Moisturize and Seal her hair daily, and don't block her hair pores with grease, you do not need to grease the scalp, this is only clogging the pores. Instead you can use a natural oil and do oil rinses. Find a good moisturizer that is Petroleum and Mineral Oil FREE. And seal with an oil, like coconut oil, sweet almond oil etc (do not use baby oil or Vaseline on her hair!).

4. Shampoo 1x a week and do Co-washes every other day, DC her hair as well.



The steps are very simple to follow, and if you do, I'm sure you will see amazing results on your little girls hair and she will be forever thankful that her mommy took the time, knowledge and dedication to ensure she has long, beautiful, strong healthy hair!!!

Hope this was helpful and as always stay Blessed

xoxo
