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.

1Gh¢ Note In the hair world especially for naturals, you are encouraged to learn about your hair. I've noticed  people struggling with caring for their own hair which sets in  frustrations sometimes. They rely on hair dressers to do everything for them which can be costly.  A lot of the complaints about going natural has to do with acquiring products. If it comes to braiding, weaves or any other style, I rely on my hair dresser to get it done. However, I take measures to save on other things.  At The Salon Deep conditioning can cost 10 Gh¢,  Hot oil treatment is around 10 Gh ¢   Conditioner wash can cost 5 Gh ¢.    DIM (Do-It-Myself)  I conditioner wash (co wash) my hair every week so I save  240Gh ¢  per year.  I deep condition and do my own hot oil treatment every month thus I save 240 Gh ¢  a year (approximately, a total of 480 Gh¢ or $ 268). Product Costs Now, the average cost of a box of relaxer is 15Gh ¢ ($8). With this same amount, you can get a conditione

Over the course of the month, some readers with relaxed hair have on different occasions inquired about  applying natural hair care regimen to relaxed hair. It dawned on me that relaxed sisters follow the blog. In Today's  piece, I provide  applicable aspects of natural hair care to relaxed hair. As simple as it may seem, I know  we've become so accustomed to our hair care regimens just that we hardly recognize defects in our routines. Let us dissect some of the changes we can apply. Sleep on a satin pillowcase, use a satin scarf and if it keeps coming off, do what I do ( add a shower cap for a firm hold). Cotton pillow cases cause the hair to dry out since it absorbs moisture in the hair. Use a wide-tooth comb when detangling hair to avoid breakage. Add deep conditioning  to your hair routine. This will give your hair some moisture Find a protein treatment like Aphogee Two Step Protein Treatment to strengthen the hair. Be sure to follow application instructions! Find

Source How often do you buy hair products? An aunt of mine told me a story about a course mate in school. This person loved to photocopy any available material because she was not regular at lectures. One day, she unintentionally photocopied the entire holy Bible. What a shame! There is another incident where a course mate was so fond of making photocopies of other people's notes. On one occasion, he realized he had copied his own notes ! Who is a Product Junkie (PJ)?. Any one who buys every hair product he/she comes across. Every hair care line promises us beautiful bouncy curls but promises are not realities. What works on my hair might not work for you. Even if it does work, we may not have the same results. Sometimes, a little goes a long way. I have observed three categories of product junkies be it natural or relaxed. The first group of PJs purchase products because they can afford to do so. They do not feel the impact on their pockets. They have a budget allocated

One of the questions I find myself answering most of the time is "won't my hair need some changes for my wedding?" The answer  is, " why do you want to use a day to change something you've worked on for years?" I  understand how attached we are to our wedding day but the truth is that no pastor or priest will use your hair as an excuse to cancel the wedding. No relative can   prevent you from getting married with your natural hair if you don't give them the opportunity to do so. Your husband -to-be has lived with your hair  from the beginning so I bet he wouldn't stop the wedding because you chose to wear your natural hair.

Every now and then, I come across men and women who are fascinated about the fact that I keep my hair natural . Some go to the extreme of touching my hair which is really strange for me because i have the same hair they have on their heads. Some ladies display intentions of also embarking on the hair journey but are constrained by the fact that their hair is "hard". At first my initial reaction would be ,"nobody's hair is hard". But the responses would always be that I was lucky to be blessed with soft hair.
