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 am making it my resolution to stop it, though. She has very fine hair that really doesn't require much product, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this blog but ill admit - im totally confused! so we DONT oil the hair/scalp daily???
ReplyDeletewe live in very dry cold area. i do run humidifiers and oil with bee mine or raw coconut oil daily.
should i try just oil after the wash and nothing more for the week?
Thank you! I didn't say we don't oil at all--we should try to you less if we know we like to layer the stuff on extra thick. I know I was. You may need to use a bit of oil every day if your climate is extrememly cold and dry but make sure you are spritzing the hair first. Oil by itself doesn't moisturize--it traps small amounts of water on the strands. Everything I've been saying still applies--I'm just realizing that a little bit of product goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say we should try to USE less if we know we like to layer the stuff on thick.
