Naturally Curly

On very special occasions, A wears her hair down. I absolutely LOVE her hair in its natural curly glory but unfortunately, by the end of the day it never looks like it does in the photographs!

I use a few products at the moment to keep her hair as tamed as possible.

I love Kinky Curly Curling Custard which you comb through the hair when the hair is completely wet and leave to air dry. The air drying takes all day though! A sleeps with a sleep hat on and her hair is usually still looking good the next day. It does however require a lot of detangling after a couple of days free! 

Where it all began!

When A was about 14 months old, her hair had finally grown enough for me to be able to do something with it, other than brush it into a cute little afro. 

Being the wriggly 14 month old that she was, the only way I could get her to sit still for any length of time was in the bath! So I used to climb into the bath with her, amongst the dozens of plastic bath toys and cups (and bubbles of course!) and do her hair as quickly as possible! 

At that stage in my "Curly Understanding" I didn't know much about curly hair and hydrating and the huge amount of conditioner required to keep her hair healthy, but luckily I learnt quickly and asked for help! 

I started off using these products .... 

... which I would highly recommend for babies and toddler, especially the creme which smells lovely :) 

Curly Care

Hi! My model for this Blog is my daughter A. She has the most AMAZING curly hair in the world, and a lot of it! For those of you that know anything about curly hair, she has a combination of 3c / 4a hair, and it looks something like this .... 

Ahhh ... my pretty lady! So that is her natural hair and whilst it looks gorgeous when it is curly, by the end of the day, it's a bit of a mess! So most of the time, her hair is braided or twisted to keep it tangle free. A is a big swimmer and is in the pool at least three times a week, so a lot of her styles need to be suitable for the water. 

I will endeavour to upload either a video or pictures of A's hairstyles each time I do one! I hope you enjoy and get some inspiration for your own or your child's hair! 

Feel free to comment (be nice please!) on any hair styles you particularly like!
