  1. I LOVELOVELOVE this style!! It is so cute and simple enough for me to do (I think :o) I found this from a recommendation on adoptionhair skincare yahoo group. I watch a lot of Katelylyn videos and felt really bad because I cannot get my girls hair to look like hers. BUT my girls hair looks like your girls hair. Thanks so much for sharing. My husband and I have adopted a sibling group of seven who are AA. We are being absolutely crucified regarding the girls hair (nevermind the problems they have with attachment, control, etc. that are improving...we are just looking at the girls hair :o( They are soooo much more than their hair. I spent way too much time reading your blog today. But thanks so much for sharing your tips and your opinions!!
    God Bless,
    Holly

  2. I am so glad this is an encouragement to you--and congratulations on choosing to love this sibling group of seven!

    All hair talk aside that should speak for you more than anything. If you can step out like that, you can learn everything you need to know to cherish them.

    None of us are born with these skills--even those of us with the same hair type as our daughters. The key is practice. I believe you'll be styling like a pro in no time and those same nay sayers will be laying on those compliments. If not--who cares?

    Welcome!

Please leave that baby's hair alone!

I'll never forget the first time I saw Mocha Girl One (HmG) . She was an emergency c-section, and had to spend several days in NICU. She was born four days past her estimated due date and looked huge in her incubator. I imagined her to be especially delicate and feminine. I couldn't wait to frill her up, and more importantly to do her hair ! The only reason she wasn't sporting a barrette the day we took her home from the hospital, was because the one I brought to match her lacey outfit, slid right out. Mocha Girl One's baby hair was silky straight and fine. As the weeks rolled by, it became wavier until she had a lovely curly fro. I washed it all the time . I brushed it several times a day . I tried snap clips, and moved to velcro barrets when the clips slid out. I bought a different head band for every outfit. Meanwhile her curls continued to wind tighter and tighter. I kept everything in a pretty box, dubbed the hair bin . I was really frustrated at not b

Trader Joe's Castille Soap Discontinued!

There's some controversy about the use of castille soap as a shampoo. For example, popular YouTuber Kim , of KimmayTube tested the ph of Bronner's Castille Soap and found it to be much higher than the recommended range for hair (between 4 and 5). You can watch her explain her findings. She also did an informative series fraught with good visuals on understanding the effects of ph on hair. That said, I've been using diluted castille soap successfully for YEARS, but I've never tried Bronner's Castille Soap. I had a bottle of Trader Joe's Castille Soap . Turns out Trader Joe's formula includes Aloe Vera --which has an acidic ph---probably bringing down the overall ph of the product--perhaps balancing it for hair. The manufacturer recommends it's use as a shampoo right on the bottle's label. I did not get a chance to personally test the ph of my bottle, because by the time I noticed Aloe as an ingredient of my castille soap, the bottle was empty
