Children Can Grow Long Hair

By
Most often, mothers pray and hope that their babies will grow up to have longer and healthier hair. This will not come automatically. Just as you have a hair care routine, the child must also have a routine.

Since kids play a lot in school especially with sand, you'll need to take extra care of the hair to prevent tangles and matting.  Your child's hair texture might be different from yours.Thus, the same products may not work for both of you. To care for a child's natural hair, you'll need:
  • Shampoo 
  • Conditioner
  • Deep Conditioner
  • Satin Bonnet
  • Shower Cap
  • Wide Tooth comb
  • Hair clips/bands
My friend  Nana in Takoradi has developed a basic wash day routine for her four year old daughter. She washes the hair every week but prior to washing;
  1. Base the scalp with coconut oil mixed with shea butter 
  2. Leave it for about 3 hours
  3. Wash with mikesh shampoo,
  4. Condition with mikesh conditioner
  5. Leave it for 10min 
  6. Comb and  rinse.
  7. Towel dry it and  base the  scalp with mikesh hair fertilizer
  8. Use threading method which aids in drying quickly
With this kind of care, it is no wonder that her daughter has this adorable hair!
